Tradition is what makes pantomime, pantomime!
In the 60's and 70's some producers tried to move away from tradition and panto suffered because of it.
Fortunately, though, pantomime has weathered many storms and the best remain traditional!
A timely reminder, Nigel!

: reminds us all that the pantomime is about
