If you’re already sick of Bump-watch The Second, please spare a thought for old Lizzy Deux, who has lost her favourite knick-nacks and can’t get them back.

Adapted from the wonderfully puerile children’s book, The Queen’s Knickers stage show follows maid Dilys, official caretaker of the Queen’s special keks (space pants anyone?), as she desperately tries to find the gone-missing trunk full of a thousand-odd panties.

The story is thin on the ground, as it is in the book, but none of that really matters, with the gaps filled in with joyous songs, genuinely funny slapstick, and knickers galore: knickers the size of a boat, elephant knickers, knicker bunting, and even a special pair for state funerals.

Actors Keddy Sutton (Dilys) and Luanna Priestman (The Queen) are a pant-based dynamic duo with the kind of chemistry normally reserved for big time, grown-up productions of serious stories.

When the Queen furiously dismisses Dilys from service after losing the precious trunk, the audience is genuinely moved at the loss of friendship, despite having spent the previous 20 minutes having “Knickers!” yelled in their faces.

Tasteful enough for Royal-a-philes, playful enough for republicans, and silly enough for kids. What’s not to love about an hour of songs about royal pants?
