SDC's panto is on very good form this year with a traditional version of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Little Theatre until 4th January.

Yes, it does feature some past and present members of SONG.

Will really be cutting down on Christmas cards this year - donating to refugees rather than the Royal Mail.

More a trickle of patchy protests than the "wave"

800-1000 people across 8 protests on Friday, with 250 in Cheshunt but mostly < 100

Perhaps up to 2000 people across a dozen small protests across Saturday, with 300 turning out in Mold, Wale

Larger counter-protests up to half of the time.
This is possible. But it is a very weak basis for a frontpage splash, learning absolutely nothing from credulous media reporting two weekends ago of a wave of protests that barely happened

Watching Citizen Smith, that also had the 'different gag in each title sequence' thing. Did any other UK* shows do this?
The #TerryAndJune title sequence, but EVERYTHING happens. 📺

Well worth going on the Southport Inquiry website for the daily transcripts. But it makes extremely hard reading.

Not all of tonight's singers are bastard daughters of the nobility, but nevertheless this would meet with the approval of the Ospedale della Pieta.
