A STAGGERING 32,000 people have watched Eastbourne’s pantomime Dick Whittington and his Cat.

It has its last performance on January 14 at the Devonshire Park Theatre.

The show marks the 16th in-house produced panto and it’s the first pantomime to feature a 12-metre wide character.

The cast includes Todd Carty (EastEnders, The Bill, Dancing on Ice) as the rather flatulent King Rat, pictured.

Martyn Knight is Sara the Cook, comic Tucker is work-shy Idle Jack and Katherine Glover is hero of the hour Dick Whittington.

Tickets are priced from £14.50 to £23.50. Visit www.eastbournetheatres.co.uk
