AS the blonde, blue-eyed commandant's secretary, Helga, in the hit TV sit-com Allo, Allo, Kim Hartman was the heart-throb of the limping Herr Flick of the Gestapo.

Now she is hoping to chill hearts as the wicked queen Morgana in Middlesbrough Theatre's production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

She is being joined by BBC Radio Cleveland presenter Matthew Davies as a pantomime dame, Melissa D'Arcy as Snow White, Johnny Laff as Muddles the Jester and Jonathan Tatum as Prince Rupert.

Thornton Academy of Dance is providing performers to play dwarfs.

Ms Hartman appeared in all 96 episodes of Allo, Allo and in the five West End seasons of the stage show, which she also accompanied on tours of Australia and New Zealand.

The panto runs from December 4 until January 4, with tickets ranging from £8.50 to £11. To book, call (01642) 815181.
