00:00 [Music]
00:12 I've got you deep in the heart of me.
00:15 So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me.
00:19 I've got you under my roof.
00:22 Ha ha!
00:24 But now, where's my one piece?
00:26 Ha ha ha ha!
00:28 [Music]
00:34 Yeah, Sean, you've been my Panto veteran now then?
00:38 Yeah, well you'd think so.
00:39 I mean, if I said to you I've done, I think this might be number 20.
00:42 Wow, yeah.
00:43 You might think, yeah, well, that's really good.
00:44 But I think I was talking to Ian Lavender not that long ago,
00:46 and I think he's done number sort of 50 or something.
00:48 So yeah, I've got a little way to go yet.
00:51 But yeah, I've earned my spurs, as they say.
00:54 Mmm.
00:55 What it is, look, I own these tenders everything.
00:57 So 10 years later, that's all I'd done as a professional actor.
01:01 Ha ha ha!
01:02 So I just wanted to do different things.
01:04 And they could have done me staying until St. Valentine's Day 2004.
01:11 Right.
01:12 Because that's when I was supposed to find out that Janine was cheating on me.
01:15 Ah, right.
01:16 But I just, I'd had enough, and I just wanted to do something else.
01:20 So I signed to do a pantomime.
01:22 Not arrogantly, but I was just going to tell them I can't.
01:24 And they said, in the end, they terminated my contract early,
01:28 and I got pushed off a cliff on New Year's Day.
01:30 I do remember that.
01:31 Instead of finding out on St. Valentine's Day.
01:34 Why are we called pirates?
01:36 Well, because we are!
01:38 Ha ha ha!
01:39 First time you've heard that one, innit?

01:48 [SPEAKING GERMAN]
02:12 So yeah, I did my first panto eight years ago.
02:17 Crazy.
02:18 It's good to be back.
02:19 What do you remember of that one?
02:21 Because you were at Dandini, weren't you?
02:23 Yes, I remember it was my first panto.
02:26 I remember it had an amazing experience.
02:28 And I always thought, oh, I'd love to come back here one day
02:32 and have a lead role, which is what I'm doing now.
02:34 So it's great for me.
02:36 I always wanted to come back here and play a lead role.
02:38 And that's what I'm able to do.
02:40 I can't believe I've got myself in a position
02:42 now where I can actually play Peter Pan on fly.
02:45 I mean, it's a personal thing for me.
02:48 Because I've lost a lot of weight over the last couple of years.
02:51 I've got myself in a really happy and healthy.
02:54 And for me to actually get a role like Peter Pan on fly,
02:57 I mean, that's just-- it was almost unthinkable before.
