Today’s Joanna Page: Dick Whittington in Milton Keynes

21 December 2010 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

Joanna Page in panto

This is what Joanna Page is up to right now. Panto with Stavros Flatley. In Milton Keynes. What the hell did she do wrong? Still, her episode of Marple is coming up over the Christmas break and she’s on Shooting Stars as well, so at least if you want to see her in something over Christmas, you won’t have to go to Milton Keynes.

PS It sounds worse than it is – the panto is Dick Whittington and she’s starring with Dirk Benedict (Face from the original The A-Team). Don’t know why they’ve Photoshopped her to look more like Anthea Turner in the poster though.

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
