TRADITIONALLY pantomimes are seen as a fun entertainment for all the family but Cheltenham group regularly bucks the trend.

The Friends Theatre Company will be presenting their latest adult panto, 1000 Arabian Nights (Ooh What A Carry-On), at The Playhouse next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

With characters such as Cher Itallabout and King Slugera, spokesman Mike Kingston said: "Our happy band of Carry On-style adventurers will sing, dance and pick their way through a minefield of double entendres."
