As a 58-year-old panto veteran I would just like to pass on my appreciation of this year's Theatre Royal production – it climbed to great heights.

Special effects, of which I am normally critical, were employed with artistry which did not damage the traditions of panto.

My congratulations to Chris Harris (or should he be called Dame Twerton?) and co for a really enjoyable night out with a great British tradition. Bath Chronicle you should be proud to be the sponsor. Many thanks
