One of my favourite panto characters was the irrascible caretaker Arnie, who was not that keen on children and who always interupted scenes saying what rubbish they were.

We have a photo of Arnie, and Norman (in case you're wondering, he was chef at the Trusty and made a guest appearance wearing some very tight and brightly coloured leggings belonging to a member of our family)
