Lynda’s delighted Berwick Kaler’s accepted her offer of accommodation. She and Lilian move on to the pressing matter of casting for the panto, using Lilian’s impressive availability chart. Kind-hearted Joy has put Mick forward for Buttons so that he can play alongside Berwick, and they’re hoping Alice will play Cinders. Vince accuses them of being unscrupulous, having cast a professional actor. He reckons it’s against the spirit of the thing – but not the law, declares Lilian. Vince bumps into Jazzer and quizzes him about the ‘ringer’ who’s been cast in the panto. Is he being paid? Jazzer reckons he might be – he saw Mick doing a deal with him yesterday. This gives Vince the ammunition he needs and he heads off.
When Leonard agrees to take on anything if he’s unsuccessful in the Dame-off later, Lynda pounces and puts him down for set building duties. Sure enough Leonard doesn’t pass the Ugly Sister test even with the help of Jill’s dressing gown, and Lynda consigns him to the under-stage store, where he finds Jazzer following instructions from costumier Paul to check for hats. Leonard becomes enthused when he finds an old Cinderella’s coach, however, and sets about planning a renovation. Meanwhile at the auditions Tony dons the discarded dressing gown and finds success as ‘Antonia’ – Lynda’s secured her second Ugly Sister. Vince puts in a cryptic appearance, claiming to suspicious Lynda and Lilian that he’s just passing. He heads off, commenting that he hopes it will all be worthwhile.
