WELL done to all involved in the record-breaking panto at Bolton's Albert Halls.

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs is the highest ever grossing panto in the town with 30,000 theatregoers expected to attend by the time the run ends.

It's a wonderfully traditional panto, starring Bolton's own Stu Francis, Kenny Baker from Star Wars and a smashing set of cuddly dwarfs and if you've not seen it yet, give yourself a treat.

It also proves that children still enjoy live theatre and quality entertainment, in spite of some of the trashy American TV programmes and computer games more readily on offer.
