Omg, catching up with @pantosplaining.bsky.social Darlington 1987 - I WAS THERE! I'd totally forgotten Stu Francis was in it, and it's sparked a memory of my friend bursting into tears at Barry singing "Somewhere out There" with the kids. Thank you @ricardoautobahn.co.uk and @benbaker.bsky.social!

PantoSplaining's Instagram feed at instagram.com/Pantosplaining will build month by month into an essential archive of content. Why not give us a follow?

Facebook is reminding me of one of the greatest ever social media posts/images. And @pantosplaining.bsky.social relevant to all of your interests!

What do these all have in common? Junior Police Five The Arrest Of Leapy Lee Bill Tidy The Stockport Air Disaster Well, they're all part (for some reason) of the next edition of PantoSplaining! It'll be out after Christmas to add some sparkle to the post-Xmas lull. linktr.ee/PantoSplaining

Our third episode will be released to keep you entertained in the week between Christmas Day and New Year, until then why not tell your friends and family all about PantoSplaining by sending them here: youtube.com/@pantosplain...

Pop stars in panto. Bradford 2025. I want to see a review of this show by @pantosplaining.bsky.social.

Recently @benbaker.bsky.social and I have been driving ourselves to the brink of madness investigating panto posters. The podcast PantoSplaining is our life's greatest work, and the first two episodes are out now at linktr.ee/Pantosplaining

@benbaker.bsky.social @ricardoautobahn.co.uk @pantosplaining.bsky.social I may have found the end of level boss for you guys, a panto advert from off of the real telly and everything. tvark.org/jack-and-the...

I try not to be go on "the other place" much these days but I'm glad I just did...

On PantoSplaining Ben and John sometimes get a bit sidetracked, as in the current episode where they get sucked into the mysterious world of The Budgerigar Society. Watch the whole thing at linktr.ee/PantoSplaining

Generation Game?

If you’d lied and said that was The Osmonds along the back, I’d have believed you

I can clear up this mystery. He changed his name by deed poll to "Stewart Horse Francis" on account of his love of riding the psychedelic donkey whilst crushing grapes. For professional purposes, he continued to use the initials GG.

Bend my arm Krankies, Boardman, Prince C and Dandini. And me and my mate Simon. I’m the tiny on the left. Would’ve been 9

What were Stu Francis' middle names? This is the sort of thing we should know. Leave your suggestions below. Linktr.ee/Pantosplaining

a decade earlier, Darlington Civi, 78/79, was Cinderella – and I was in it (as a page boy). I have a moth eaten leaflet for it, and pics of me with the Krankies and Stan Boardman. oh yes

It's Panto Day! Episode 2 is out now. We look at Babes In The Wood via budgie lovers, grape crushing, middle names, the Diana conspiracy, fake Maltesers, joystick breaking computer games and lots, lots more! In vision at: YouTube youtu.be/dt7ItJ0qVMk?... Spotify open.spotify.com/show/73eCUvH...

If you like your laughs plentiful and your podcasts niche then listen to PANTOSPLAINING. This image of The Presidents Of The Budgerigar Society From 1979 - 1986 is, quite unbelievably, relevant clickbait for the latest episode. Listen and watch (with visual aids) at www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt7I...

It's always great when we hear from people who actually went to the pantos we cover. If any of you have any memories, do share them!! Linktr.ee/Pantosplaining

Childhood memory unlocked, my mum took me to see that. Christmas 1986, I think? Will have a listen later.

Just finished this and was thoroughly entertained in a way that no pantomime has ever managed.

After 10 weeks off, Benny wants to take his sick gran on a sudden urgent holiday. The sudden urgent holiday: @pantosplaining.bsky.social

41 years ago, my dear parents took us boys shopping in Wolverhampton, then revealed our big surprise treat: SNOW WHITE WITH DANA AND LES DENNIS & DUSTIN GEE! I will never forgive us kids for the howls of disappointment and reluctance this announcement provoked. Sorry, Mum & Dad.

Following our mention in the *Sunday Times* this weekend (a glowing review of @pantosplaining.bsky.social) - it's a groovy trip down memory lane for ALF this week! ALF eats a Peace Flower, meets Trevor, dresses like a hippy and is kool in the kaftan! Love and peace, man! linktr.ee/ALFsplaining

Thankyou Claire!!

The B-side of Stu's first single is surprisingly groovy. youtu.be/pGjRpdrn6Ek?...

As national Grape Crusher In Chief, Stu Francis released not one but *two* singles detailing his favourite pastime. Listen to PantoSplaining as we examine this legendary poster... Linktr.ee/ALFsplaining

That was a most excellent evening’s entertainment!

Here's PantoSplaining's very own @benbaker.bsky.social and friend of the show @squidyuk.bsky.social hanging out with their pals The Chuckle Brothers a few years ago. Listen to us examine the Chuckles' career in the new episode, out now!! Linktr.ee/PantoSplaining

Size of those heads.

Have you listened to PantoSplaining cover Geoff Capes in Babes In The Wood yet? Yule love it!

Here's the programme for the show at the heart of the new episode of PantoSplaining for you to browse as you listen, or watch, at linktr.ee/PantoSplaining.

Had a few people ask if an audio-only version is happening and no, its not something we're planning on. John's done an amazing job on the videos and I've dug up all sorts of nonsense to include so pop us on the big telly and imagine... WE'RE BEHIND YOU! (We're not. Please dont call an authority.)

I was listening to this and laughing along as I was making dinner. My wife thinks I’m yea close to a breakdown.

Another fantastic listen, with all the deep Budgerigar Society knowledge you could ever need

The only way to find out is to listen/watch, at linktr.ee/PantoSplaining

With apologies to A.D.Ford, the new episode of PantoSplaining - the podcast where two idiots look at an old panto poster and see what they can find out about it - is out now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt7I... You'll find out about *many* people who aren't even in this pantomime, and who A.D.Ford is.

@pantosplaining.bsky.social Sinbad the Sailor at the Dublin Gaiety was the panto that the Patton brothers were doing in 1987, btw. THE Gaiety panto is seen as very historic. It's been going so long James Joyce writes about it in the Dead.

The Chuckle Brothers had a particularly large longbow in this production. It was a two metre yew.

All I know is Geoff Capes better have bent a metal bar around someone's neck, or I would have demanded a refund

AFAIK this Alan Meadows is the one from 1973, but he's not the Maltese one. He's still alive, seemingly www.imdb.com/name/nm13686...

Linda Nolan and The Chuckle Brothers. "Give a little bit of attention to me (to you, to me)"......
