As a bit of fun, we’ve been figuring out our fantasy cast for a pantomime -working with Simon Sladen, one of the country’s leading Panto experts (@simonsladen).

The brief… to sell out the Palladium for the 2015/6 Panto season.

With that challenge, we had to aim big, so selected the classic Cinderella.

So, our heavyweight cast:

Cinderella – Holly Willoughby

Buttons – Peter Kay

Prince Charming – Harry Styles

Dandini – Fearne Cotton

The Fairy Godmother – Imelda Staunton

The Ugly Sisters – Michael Ball and Jim Carter

We wouldn’t fancy refereeing who got the star dressing rooms, though.

Can you improve on that casting?
