Tinsel Town: or, some Brits attempt to explain panto to the rest of the world

Today's episode of Bah Humbug, the Christmas movies podcast, focuses on Tinsel Town, the new Sky film wherein a spoiled Hollywood star reluctantly agrees to do theatre in the UK - and unwittingly finds himself signed up to play Buttons in a panto production of Cinderella. Kiefer Sutherland is our hapless hero, with support from Rebel Wilson, Danny Dyer, Derek Jacobi and many more. To talk about it, your regular host, Helen O'Hara, is joined by talent agent Corrie McGuire and the film's director Chris Foggin. Can all of us together explain the appeal and importance of panto to an international audience? Oh no we can't! Oh yes we can! Etc. Tinsel Town is available to watch on Sky Cinema and Now TV right now. For more from Corrie and her astonishing roster of clients, you can visit her website here .
