Episode 1 : Another Opening, Another Panto!

Описание: With your support, we proudly present Ken Alexander and Fraser Boyle’s
‘The Scunner That Stole Christmas’.

The Kingdom of Ayrshire and Arran has been cursed by Dourina the Soorfaced Sorceress – she’s stolen the Pantomime Recipe Book and cancelled Christmas. Only joy, togetherness and adventure can conquer Dourina’s evil plan and save the day – but with Princess Neat and Prince Tidy keeping their distance; how can Christmas ever be saved? Can Fairy Handwash remember the magic recipe and find the ingredients she needs in our community to save the Kingdom? Can Dame Hylda Rerrterr, behave on Tour? And will Jock the Joker ever crack a one-liner we approve of?

Tune in online to see weekly instalments and discover that there’s no power greater than a community that works together.

We are committed to ensuring ‘The Scunner That Stole Christmas’ is accessible to all, which is why every episode will include captions as standard & an Audio Described version which will be available each week to enhance the broadcast for the visually impaired. Episodes will be free to watch at home and Audio Description will be delivered by our experienced Audio Describer, Michael Stewart.
