For all those asking in disbelief, Ian Beale *did* indeed direct James Whale's only panto appearance in Halifax in 1995.

I am sorry that my choice of language (calling Jim Ratcliffe a cunt) has offended some people in Monaco (Jim Ratcliffe) but it is important to raise the issue of Jim Ratcliffe being a cunt and maintain an open debate on the challenges of Jim Ratcliffe being a cunt.

I have written to Wes Streeting, following his private admission that Israel has been committing war crimes.

History will shame those who could have spoken out against the genocide in Gaza, but chose to serve in governments that aided and abetted it instead.

The hope in Threads is ‘I hope I die immediately in the nuclear blast rather than be around for the aftermath’
Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”

“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

After seeing old videos of James Whale, he looks and sounds like Stuart Ashen from an alternate universe where he used his powers for evil.

This is one of the oddest panto posters we've looked at yet but perhaps the most entertaining. Ian Beale's short-lived spiv moustache demands you subscribe!
It's here! Episode 5 of PantoSplaining sees us only a few minutes down the road from Episode 4 but when we saw the stars and director in Halifax in 1995 we couldn't resist.

My actual favourite class test is one that David Reed gave me:

Everybody loves Panto Posters don't they? @benbaker.bsky.social and I do which is why we've started PantoSplaining, and why this month we're covering the Ian-Beale-Directed-and- James-Whale-Starring absurdity 'Aladdin' from 1995.

*Remember, we don't 'Splain the panto itself, just the poster*

Watching the Winter Olympics and remembering something Ahir Shah told me once. Posh people do dangerous sports, like skiing, because if they break a leg and have to spend weeks in bed off work, they don’t stop earning.

Think it might be as good a class test as what you call your settee.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

PantoSplaining is a year-round thing but did *you* ever see a panto that wasn't at Christmas? Anything from Easter to summer season to the half term holidays. Let us know for future episodes!

I'm struggling to think of a celebrity who *hasn't* made a travel show at some point. It's like having a round on 'Children's Authors'
February 11, 2026 at 5:46 PM
Pointless are doing a round on "travel presenters". Not "scripted comedy" or "classic drama" no these people are famous for going round Britain taking a sideways glance at Morris dancers etc
