MEN dressed as women in Glasgow? Well it must have been pantomime time, and here is Rikki Fulton and Walter Carr appearing as the Ugly Sisters in Cinderella. The note with the photograph says 1986, but it was probably 1987 when they appeared at the King's.

Not sure why they are brandishing hockey sticks, but no doubt there was some gag in the script that fitted in with the sports theme.

Rikki once appeared in panto with Walter - not sure if it was this one - and realised that Walter had false teeth. So he devised a scene where Walter's teeth would fall out and they would continue for a few minutes with Walter trying to enunciate with just his gums. It was hilarious, and the audience thought it was all spontaneous, although it had been meticulously rehearsed with Walter able to release his dentures while making it look like an accident.

Music teacher Jim McJannet, who once worked with Walter, tells me: "Walter was never as famous as Rikki or Stanley Baxter, but he was a very clever actor who had worked with the Citizens Theatre where you turned your hand to anything.

"He was the foil to Lex McLean on TV, and he also appeared as the servant in Moliere's The Miser where he executed a sweeping routine that was as good as Laurel and Hardy."

Walter's biggest TV role was as Dougie the Mate in The Vital Spark. Rikki of course dominated Scottish comedy with panto, Francie and Josie and the TV series Scotch and Wry.
