Here's a lovely interview with Michael Hurst in the New Zealand Herald, which opens with the line "Michael Hurst likes playing with his breasts."

Yup, Twanky's back, but this is stage Twanky, the real pantomime Dame, starring in Hurst's stage production of Jack And The Beanstalk, and the picture next to the article shows just how different she is from Twanky in H:tLJ, who was probably more a mix of panto dame and drag queen. Hurst talks a bit about the differences too, and I love this quote:

As Hurst has already pointed out, his Twankey is channelling his mum, who is now dead. "Twankey has a lot of earthy practicality and a lot of the stuff I do comes from the sayings my mother had: if a cup of tea was cold, it was stone plonk, if it was too weak, maiden's water."
