PERENNIAL panto favourite Berwick Kaler was yesterday back in his adopted city preparing to entertain his army of fans.
The madcap Geordie performer has written and will be co-directing his 24th pantomime at the Theatre Royal in York. And together with his regular collaborators Martin Barrass, Suzy Cooper, Joanne Heywood and David Leonard he's now starting rehearsals for this year's spectacular - Babbies in the Wood.
The cast, who are promising a "magical journey through Christmas mayhem" also includes, Gary Lake, Richard Kay, Louise Beale, Torie Bedwin, Kelly Walker, Alex Forster, Vincent Gray and Jamie Tyler.
Last year more than 50,000 people flocked to see Berwick and his pals in Jack and the Beanstalk and tickets for this year's show are already being snapped up.
The panto runs from December 11 until February 1. For details, call (01904) 623568.
