A GALAXY of stars will be making their way to West Dorset this week as the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis throws open its doors to some of the nation's favourite entertainers.

On Sunday, master magician Paul Daniels takes to the stage for 'an audience with' evening. The show starts at 8pm and tickets are £12 (concessions and family deals).

He is followed on Thursday, May 16, by the smaller half of ever-green favourites Little and Large along with Frank Williams, who played the part of the vicar in Dad's Army.

The show, in two parts, will be made up of Syd Little paying tribute to his heroes such as Buddy Holly and Gene Pitney. Meanwhile, Frank will be recalling his career that saw him working with the likes of Tommy Cooper, Dick Emery and Morecambe and Wise and included hits such as Dad's Army, Monty Python and the Pink Panther.

The show starts at 8pm and tickets are £10. For further details and bookings for both shows, call the Guildhall on (01297) 442394.
