22nd December 2012 4th January 2013

The first night of Dick Whittington leads to theatrical tension in this comedy drama written by Jonathan Harvey. The pantomime has been in rehearsals for weeks and tonight a dress rehearsal has been called before the curtain goes up. Tensions are beginning to show. Producer Di (Samantha Spiro) has lofty ambitions for the performance, which means that director Francis (Mark Benton) must try valiantly to pull the show to order despite her constant interfering. Adding to Francis's troubles is a backstage romance between panto newcomer Lewis (John Bishop) and local celebrity Tamsin (Sheridan Smith), who is playing principal boy Dick. Lewis is not only fond of Tamsin but also fully aware that his own career path may take an upward turn if their relationship continues. Unfortunately, a potential fly in the ointment appears in the form of his ex-wife, who unexpectedly delivers his son to the stage door. Lewis realises that he must take his fatherly duties seriously. Other members of the cast include faded theatrical actor Johnny Darby (Michael Cochrane), nervous Chantelle (Ami Metcalf), and Chesney Hawkes (playing himself), an accident-prone good guy trying hard to show that he has more to his musical repertoire than The One and Only. The dress rehearsal proves to be disastrous, but this is nothing compared to the bombshell delivered during the performance when Tamsin decides to leave at the interval. Maybe a curmudgeonly dwarf playing Tickles the cat could come to the rescue?

New Year at Leopards Den sees Du Plessis (Deon Stewardson) making a last-ditch effort to heal the rifts in the family.

Vernon Kay returns to present a brand new festive episode of the popular game show in which two teams battle it out to win up to 30,000 for their chosen charity. A soap star team from Emmerdale (pictured), headed up by their captain Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas Dingle, and featuring fellow stars Natalie Anderson, Mark Charnock, Fiona Wade and Gemma Oaten, compete against an all-star team from ITV1's lively breakfast show Daybreak, led by captain Aled Jones and featuring fellow presenters Dr Hilary Jones, Ranvir Singh, Gethin Jones and Richard Arnold.

More murders follow, replicating scenes from Stellas films, including one in which the victim was swathed in bandages like a mummy. Barnaby fears that the killers work is not yet done, but can he figure out the clues in time to prevent further deaths?
