The other pictures from Weston on Trent's Peter Pantomime 2000

What a motley crew - The pirates and Hook practice -->

From left to right Harriet Rimmington, Andrew Hurt, Melissa Dunn, Charlotte Charles (previous she had the title role in A Ladd in Wes-Tong), Claire Biggs and Debbie Rimmington.

 

Carol Hotter as the Crocodile - Carol also played the part of Andy Pandy in Changing Rooms Live - Scene 5 

ß The Croc made by Ron Midgely - worn by Carol Hotter. The crocodile ate Hooks arm and eventually ate the whole of Captain Hook. 

The Croc also appeared in Aston and Weston's Jubilee carnival with Weston Panto (we were the winning float!)

 

Dave Charles, Roger Bamkin and Martin Collins - note the flying mechanism! Both Peter Pan and Tinkerbell launched themselves off the raised platform to the right and "flew" using a climbing harness underneath their outfits. Described in more detail at this link

In the background behind the lost boys can just be seen Melissa Dunn and Claire Biggs - two of the pirates.

The lost boys - and girl

Jamie Bamkin, Douglas Brown, Sophie Dawson, Freya Scott, Tessa Bamkin, Felicity Ball, David Poole (son of the star of the first Weston Pantomime). In the background are Melissa Dunn and Claire Biggs. Freya played Bow in Zinder Ella Weston

Both Trevor White and Barbara Chawner gave frrely of their time to attend numerous fact-finding missions to the Old Plough on Sundays.

ß May (Barbara Chawner) and Hugh (Trevor White) Darling - May Darling is the famous producer of Changing Rooms. Hugh is the main source of income for the Plough and Bournemouth A.F.C. (Hugh bears an uncanny resemblance to the 90's TV presenter Danny As-Been). Trevor and Barbara went on to produce and direct the 2002 production of "The Pied Piper of Weston" and both appeared in Pinocchio

The Darling children - Wendy (Katherine Graham), Michael (Adam Biggs) and John Darling (Farral Scott).

The darlings - Farral returned from a trip abroad to attend the final rehearsal.

The Director (Roger Bamkin)

The rehearsals started in October which was then in parallel with writing the script. The script was written by Victuallers whilst on holiday in the Scilly Isles. It was completed on the island of St. Agnes, on the most southwesterly point of the island, which is also the most south Westerly point of the British Isles.
