The Archers Tues 28th Dec 2010: Panto Opening Night

  • Jazzer’s on-hand to fix Fallon’s clothes
  • The fan-club’s on hand to watch Jazzer sing
  • (and again Jazzer): Scottish Stereotypes #749
  • Harry looks like Amy Whitehouse
  • Tristam Hawkshaw
  • “Oh, she is hyper”
  • Wishful thinking on Harry and Fallon
  • Oscar stroking Sabrina – too wrong!



Jazzer’s on-hand to fix Fallon’s clothes

[Fallon] “Come on Jazzer! You’d have thought you enough practise getting girls out of their clothes … just reverse the process”

And Jazzer does indeed to fix Fallon’s sash.

Phew!



The fan-club’s on hand to watch Jazzer sing

Or at least, that’s Jazzer’s take on why it’s a full house for the Panto’s opening night.

Shame we didn’t get to hear his sing…



(and again Jazzer): Scottish Stereotypes #749

[Jazzer] “Bagpipes, kilt, fist-fitting, the lot!”

They missed out irn-bru, shortbread, haggis, tossing the caber ….

Anyhoo – Jazzer is Fallon’s great hope for a great Hogmanay.

I wonder what could do wrong ….



Harry looks like Amy Whitehouse

But Nigel is more than enjoying his make-up.

Interesting.


Tristam Hawkshaw

[Lynda] “He could be my nemesis”

Lynda is horrified to see Tristam Hawkshaw, the new director of FLOSS (Felpersham Light Opera Society) turn up at the Panto.

She gets even more worried as she sees him talking notes.

[Lynda] “You don’t know about the bitter rivalry … Larry Lovell will have dripped poison in his ear … he’s obviously going to give me his production notes”

But – all ends well. Seems Tristam is writing a review for The Echo.



“Oh, she is hyper”

So says Nigel about Lynda.

With a few last minute directions for her cast:

[Lynda] “Less of the late night reveller from Idle Jack, Jazzer”

Lynda isn’t letting up.

She places the entire success of the second half onto Harry’s shoulders (no pressure there then!)


Wishful thinking on Harry and Fallon

Everyone seems to be determined that Harry and Fallon are an item.

Corriander seems to see a buzz between them.

And Lynda tries to ask Harry, one last time:

[Lynda] “There’s nothing more you want to tell me?”

[Harry] “What? Me and Fallon? Nothing like that”

And there was no repeat of the rather monumental snog of the rehearsal.

Both Fallon and Harry were back to being their normal, wooden, Panto selves.



Oscar stroking Sabrina – too wrong!

Oscar got his special audience with Sabrina (as the cat).

Not only did Sabrina audibly meow again (seriously – let the woman speak, now that she’s found her vocal cords) – but she seemed to get far too into the stroking for my liking.

That, in itself, wasn’t wrong – but the reaction of all the adult men was odd. Bizarre. Wrong (?)

They basically were basically thinking the equivalent of ‘go on my son! Give her one for me’.

Reminder: Oscar is 14 months …
