The family friendly classic vroomed its way to the Birmingham Hippodrome for a six night pitstop in a seemingly never ending national tour. 

With a star studded cast, with over 2000, soap episodes between them with Emmerdale's Liam Fox and Eastenders Charlie Brooks, taking centre stage.

It is the Childcatcher. One of the great villains of stage and screen. 

From the twisted imagination of Bond author Ian Flemming the Childcatcher easily surpasses Blofeld and Odd Job.
