Hook

Trevor White a.k.a. Danny Asbeen came on as the brigadier to break up the red parrot sketch as it was getting completle out of hand - now for something competely different.

 

Captain James T. Hook (Debbie Rimmington). In the pantomime, Hook is revealed as Pan's father - this is done in star wars way - but in actual fact is similar to the original play where Hook was cast as Mr Darling!

The Brigadier came on at the end of scene one and interrupted Dances with Sheep and Mullins in the middle of an out of control Monty Python dead/red parrot sketch.

 

May and Hugh Darling were disfunctional. By the end of the Panto they had been reunited with their children so they could reconfirm their wedding vows.

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) and the Brigadier.

One of Hugh's drinking partners is Claude Bottom who unsuccessfully tried to proposition May. This scene is demonstrated in the script sample available on this site.
