Jack Whitehall outta nowhere

Who was the woman with the inspector when he was first shown? Kind of looked like Kylie Minogue... It wasn't her was it?

Th full play was exceptional. Off to see their Pantomime version called Peter Pan Goes Wrong soon and I don't think I'll survive.

Edit: not a pantomime, I'm a moron

If you liked that then you might also enjoy the play/movie "Noises Off" which is about a disastrous theater production as seen from both the the audience and backstage perspectives.

Sometimes you read a post title and have your doubts which are then utterly blown out of the water a minute later; this is one of those times.
