Line 2:
[[Pantomime]] is usually for the [[Theatre]], but [http://www.its-behind-you.com/tvpanto.html occasionally] some productions are either filmed specifically for [[Live Action TV]], or [[Theatrical Productions]] are recorded so that the general populace can enjoy them.
[[ITV]] is no exception. Just before the [[Turn of the Millennium]] they decided to record a production of "[[Jack and the Beanstalk]]" written by Simon Nye, the writer behind ''[[Men Behaving Badly]]''. It did very well in the ratings, and three more production were recorded, the last in 2002. ITV now shows the repeats as a [[Christmas Special|regular feature over the festive period]].
The productions, listed by year of broadcast, are as follows:
Line 11:
{{examples|Examples of tropes in these productions include:}}
==== Jack & the Beanstalk ====
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: [[Crosscast Role|Dame Dolly]] is this to Baron Wasteland
* [[Actor Allusion]]: At one point, Jack stomps off in a huff, saying he'll eventually be in his own place, where he'll sit around in his pants drinking beer. Bear in mind Jack is [[Men Behaving Badly|played by Neil Morrissey, in a panto written by Simon Nye]].
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
* [[Broke Episode]]: The whole panto is this for Jack and Dolly, which is worrying as they have Baron Wasteland for a [[Cranky Landlord]].
* [[Disappeared Dad]] / [[Missing Mom]]: Jack has the former, Jill the latter. Jack's father [[You Don't Want to Know|died in childbirth]] whilst Jill's just isn't mentioned.

'''Jill:''' Jack, that's ''my'' father!
'''Jack:''' Yeah, well, [[Completely Missing the Point|nobody remembers what my dad looked like]]... }}
* [[Fiction 500]]: The Baron and Jill are this, and Dame Dolly and Jack soon join them.
Line 56 ⟶ 54:
==== Cinderella ====
* [[Androcles' Lion]]: In one scene, Cinders helps out the [[Fairy Godmother|Good Fairy]] (who's in disguise). That apparently is what convinces him to help her.
* [[Bad Impressionists]]: Buttons is one.
Line 86 ⟶ 83:
==== Aladdin ====
* [[Acting Unnatural]]: Abernazer does this when he tries to mingle with the crowd, even going "[[Unsound Effect|Mingle, mingle, mingle]]".
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
