JB Priestley - The Demon King
A washed-up actor misses a provincial panto performance, but he鈥檚 got one hell of an understudy. Stars Ian Wallace. From 1962.
The Boxing Day panto was going to be a flop - even for Bruddersford.
But then the Demon King came on鈥�
Ian Wallace stars in JB Priestley鈥檚 vintage comic drama.
