It's panto, so the characters are probably inspired by the original, but any storyline would be pretty much unrecognizable.
Ah. You just about doubled what little knowledge I have of panto, right there [g]. I've never actually seen one.
Do you mean A Midwinter's Tale?
Yes. It was originally released in the UK as In the Bleak Midwinter, and, like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone that's how my brain thinks of it. It doesn't have a panto, but, since it takes place in the UK at Christmas amongst a bunch of actors, there's more than one mention of panto in the script.
He has many guises! I like the Captain Jack Harkness look best myself, with the braces and the boots and the greatcoat and the dark shirts.
Well, I like that sort of clothes on men in general (as long as they've got the body for it), so I'd have to agree with you. Although I do rather like the whole 18th-century ponytail and breeches thing very well, too...
