Certainly Jeremiah Croakson and his two sidekicks Hammy and James Maybe-Knot will be seen in Baslow Players’ ‘The Panto Adventures of Master Toad’.

Zoe Wareham, writer and director said: “I am sure that whether you love or hate Top Gear you will like our irreverent approach. Our Master Toad remains as affable as his not-so-distant relation Mr Toad!”
