“Dirk Benedict attends the First Family Entertainment photocall in London. This season Dirk is starring as King Rat in "Dick Whittington" at the Milton Keynes Theatre.” (November 26, 2010)
I found these photos here If anyone knows where I can find footage of the play I’d appreciate it!

4th April
Dick Whittington
Source: alchetron.com
On this day in 1406, Richard Whittington became Lord Mayor of London for the third time, fulfilling the contemporaneous rhyme ‘Turn again Whittington, thou worthy citizen, Lord Mayor of London’. The timeless rags-to-riches tale of the kitchen lad being persuaded by London’s bells to turn back to the city Dick had almost given up on, and then making his fortune thanks to his cat’s rat-catching abilities aboard a wealthy merchantman, is sadly completely made up. Whittington was the son of a Gloucestershire landowner, and therefore elevation to the London Lord Mayoralty was perhaps not so remarkable - although achieving the office three times was quite impressive. Even his famous cat may have been a play on words: Richard made his fortune by trading in coal which was carried up and down the waterways in cargo boats known as “ketches”. It is a wonderful story though.
Early April is also the time you are most likely to encounter Britain’s only venomous snake, the adder, as they emerge from their winter sleep and go in search of a mate. In Britain, adders were often depicted as well-guardians, probably reflecting an ancient belief in serpent-deities who protected wells before they became progressively dedicated to Christian saints. Adders also have a reputation for divination and a carving of Verbeira, a Romano-British river goddess, has been discovered in West Yorkshire, clutching two snakes. The carving now rests, perhaps a little incongruously, in the church at Ilkley.

#most fuckable taskmaster contestant#Julian Clary#Lucy Beaumont#Sam Campbell#Sue Perkins#Susan Wokoma#fun fact when i was a kid i was in the village panto & we did dick whittington & i played puss in boots. the guy who wrote the script based#puss on julian clary but i was too young so no one would let me watch anything of his bc they thought itd be inappropriate#we also a female cat who ran the kit kat club who was puss's love interest which i always thought was ironic bc even though i wasnt allowed#to watch anything he'd done i did know JC was gay. looking back though we circled right back around bc when i realised i was queer & though#back on all the crushes i didnt know were crushes the actress who played Kat Ballou was right underneath the original Cat Ballou#(a very nice place to be)#also yes the spelling change did irritate me. if youre going to use a cat pun dont change the c to k#it was already right you dont have to change it

I’ve been working backstage for the panto my friend is directing and had a sudden question: is panto something that other cultures and countries do, or is it specifically United Kingdom based?
#for those who don’t know#it’s a very camp comedy theatre production of a family tale (Aladdin Peter Pan Cinderella dick Whittington etc)#and there’s always the dame (usually the hero’s mother) in drag and the prince is normally played by a girl#and it’s musical and heavily focuses on audience participation#it’s quite raunchy but the whole family goes and watches

Turn Again, Whittington, Thrice Lord Mayor, Etc
October 17, 1907
Shouts of "Run again Roosevelt" echo from Popularity on Capitol Hill. Roosevelt himself sits outside town, dressed in medieval clothing, with his cat, Jacob Riis.
The caption reads 'A new version of the Whittington story being enacted in the United States'.
Whittington was three times the mayor of London, and folklore had it that his cat had led him there. Roosevelt was refusing to run for a third term, but Jacob Riis, a close friend, insisted that his policies had to be continued, and urged him to run again.
