Last night featured my first pantomime of this year's festive season, the unconventional Beauty and the Beast at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.

Beauty and the Beast is one that I personally haven't seen in a pantomime format before and did it work? I think so!

If I had to pick, I'd go with the Reporters, but they haven't really done much of anything spectacular just yet. Until this last leg, that is!
