LAST weekend, TV star Kim Taylforth was having lunch with her agent and looking forward to a family christmas. The agents phone rang and it was Thameside panto chief Bruce James who was looking for an eleventh hour replacement for Sarah Thomas who had to pull out of Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood in order to look after her ailing mother.
IT has been a chaotic week with the snow but there is one thing that is certain: the Thameside panto starts tonight! There will be 63 performances of Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood between tonight and January 11th.

IT has been an absolute joy reading Sheila Steafel's autobiography "When Harry met Sheila". Harry is Harry H Corbett of Steptoe and Son fame and she not only met him but married him. Sheila is one of those actresses who has performed with so many stars from the fifties onwards that it reads like a who's who of british character actresses.
Love was in the air for the members of Thurrock Youth Theatre this week as they performed a duo of excellent plays all about the trials and tribulations of finding that happy ever after with that perfect partner. ‘The Dating Game’ was the first performance of the night and truly showcased what a talented bunch these young actors are. Not only was this play performed by the Thurrock Youth Theatre, but it was also written by Alex Lawler, a member of the Thurrock Youth Theatre. No doubt, Alex’s creation was excellent and highlighted what an incredibly talented actor and scriptwriter he is.
The Thameside panto team are very pleased to announce that they have a new Forest Fairy - Kim Taylforth as Sarah's replacement. Kim is sister to ex-Eastender Gillian Taylforth and has had her own varied career playing Nancy Ray in ITV's London’s Burning; Marilyn Fenner in Bad Girls and Sharon Ingram in Five's soap opera Family Affairs.
This show really does have the ‘feel good factor’. From the moment you walk in the door we were treated to the Eurovision Experience. Cheesy as it is, it really cheered up a cold winter’s night.
