Snow-hit panto goes on despite just nine people in the audience

Leeds: A snow-hit theatre was determined the show would go on after the bad weather left its pantomime cast performing to an audience of just nine.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs went ahead as planned at the Carriageworks Theatre, even though the audience made up just 2.5 per cent of its capacity.

• Southampton: A man who went to casualty with his penis stuck in a steel pipe had to be cut free by firefighters using a metal grinder.

Medics could not get the penis out of the stainless steel pipe because the restricted blood flow had caused it to become aroused. Hampshire Fire and Rescue freed it in a "delicate operation".
