Dick Whittington

The curtain rises for a riotous performance of the festive favourite at the Wimbledon Theatre in London, where an all-star cast headed by Richard Wilson (playing his first dame) indulge the audience in their love of that great British institution - the seasonal pantomime. Kevin Bishop plays Dick, with Julian Clary as his cat and Debra Stephenson as Alice. Other comedy talent taking part includes Lee Mack, Mark Williams, Jessica Stephenson and Paul Merton. Amanda Barrie is the Queen of Tonga, and Tina O'Brien plays her maid. There's also a musical interlude by Hear'Say, plus the promise of surprise cameos by a host of household names.
