THE Barbican's seasonal pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, is a festive feast of crazy costumes, super sets, flying fairies, ditzy dames, slapstick and silliness.

When Jack swaps Daisy the Cow for some magic beans, they grow into an enormous magic beanstalk.

Can Jack climb the beanstalk, save the lovely Princess Melody from the giant and escape with all his arms and legs?

This year comic actors Mel Giedroyc (Mel and Sue) plays Fairy Liquid and Steve Furst (Little Britain) stars as the show's wicked baddie, Beastly Boris. Panto veteran Andy Gray plays our delectable Dame Dolly Deluxe.

The year wouldn't be complete without a great panto filled with songs, laughter, excitement and more than a little bit of festive magic.
