26. A Coventry conversation with...Iain Lauchlan

The Cov Pod

A festive treat with an interview with Coventry’s Dame, Iain Lauchlan; star, writer and director of the Coventry Belgrade pantomime

With a career spanning over 40 years in the children's entertainment industry presenting many well-loved children's programmes such as Playschool, Fingermouse, and Playdays, and outside of Coventry, he is perhaps best known as the writer of the BAFTA award-winning children's television series, The Tweenies.

However, this episode takes a look at something close to the heart of almost every Cov Kid; the Coventry Belgrade pantomime.

Iain has been the driving force behind the panto as writer, director, star and savior of the theatre at the time, and this year marks Iain's 26th Coventry panto!
