2012 Panto - Sleeping Beauty

[Charlotte]

I know this is very early to post but like Chris said on the Chuckle News thread on this board (and also like I've noticed myself lol), Paul and Barry have confirmed this year's pantomime is gonna be Jack and the Beanstalk, and at Hull New Theatre again! The tickets are on sale already as well, and on the performance page on the theatre website it says:

Thursday 6 December - Sunday 6 January

Description:

It’s never too early to book for our 2012 - 13 panto

With more comedy than you can shake a bag of magic beans at, outrageous costumes, fabulous sets and a huge beanstalk with one very mean giant at the top of it - this production carries Hull New Theatre’s hallmark of quality and value-for-money entertainment for all ages.

Join Jack in this GIANT of a panto and enjoy spectacular entertainment at its best! Tickets are now available at the same price as last year!

Presented by Qdos Entertainment - the world’s biggest pantomime producer – who brought the magical Cinderella to Hull last year.

I'm sure we won't be going again because they'll be too far away from us again, but like I said before somewhere else, I think they should come down South more to do pantomime seeing as they stay up North most of the time for live shows etc... A Christmas Chuckle in 2009 was pretty much ideal as it was a touring pantomime as they went to Bristol and back to King's Lynn, but unfortunately we haven't had a chance to see them at Christmas since then :-\

Yes I don't think I'll be going to see it either as it is too far away really. I think it's better for Paul and Barry when they do panto up north though as they are closer to where they live, it's probably nice for them to be closer to their families for Christmas.

Well all the dates are up on the official site now; it doesn't seem like 5 minutes since Cinderella ended lol

And I know the lads like to be close to their families for Christmas but I do think it's better when they're touring because more fans have the opportunity to see them, and of course they tour all Spring and Summer with their live shows anyway lol; shame they're usually too far away at Christmas but I always look forward to reading the reviews on here and the Internet lol

I realise this may be in the wrong place, but here is part of a professionally filmed Jack and the Beanstalk featuring the Chuckles, never knew it existed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAKg86eHNbM

Ah! That was the CBBC panto! It was a tradition that the CBBC presenters and the stars of the programme would all come together, the last one in fact was around 4/5 years ago now.

That's great, when I find the time i'l watch it, looks good.

I suppose that means they find it is out of fashion now or they don't have the time or money for it. Shame.

I wouldn't of thought it was money, I believe that Cbeebies stage a panto each year, but I guess it's the changing of interests for children on CBBC's target age that has seen the cease of the panto.

Here is the first part of CBBC's last ever panto... (or at least the last for now)

Well it's now been posted on the official site that the pantomime this year has been changed to Sleeping Beauty. I wish we could see them but they're too far away again :-\

I must admit I did have to re-read the bit where their ages were mentioned. Knew both the lads were in their 60's, but didn't realise Barry was nearly 70!

Here's a trailer I found on YouTube to promote the show

Didn't realise Paul and Barry were celebrating 50 years in showbusiness next year, well done to them! (Same as Doctor Who!

Some interesting information about their career in this article.

In 1987, the duo became regular faces on children's television show ChuckleVision – a 22nd series is due to be screened in 2013.

Looks like Series 22 may also be set for next year according to this article.

Skeptical about any new ChuckleVision happening now, but you never know...

I remember one article where Barry said he thought Paul might feel like retiring in a few years. But if the quotes in this one are anything to go by, it sounds like he's happy to continue for a while yet.

50 Years in showbusiness, now that sounds like a good time to release the biography

Yeah I remember that article, although I can't see either of them retiring any time soon.
As for Series 22, I am also not expecting one, but you never know they may spring it on us in surprise, like CBBC always do nowadays.

You're right, sounds like a great occasion. I hope I can get some more information on the biography next year!
