After nobody got into double figures since round 17, two of you did this round and a couple more were very close. Well done to @cheeky~k8 and @KingWilliams!

@cheeky~k8 - 13

@ARLukomski, @Chris - 9
@Dan, @william1984 - 8

@DangerousSausage, @gtownjohnno - 3
@liampie - 1
@Fan of Big Tone, @nottsnutter - bah, humbug - zero.

This is the table at the halfway stage. @ARLukomski has a healthy lead and is on target for a record score, but @gtownjohnno is also on course to top last season's title-winning score. @cheeky~k8 returns to the top three, but I'm holding the real prize, which as we all know is sixth place.

That's our lot for this round. But fear not - there is a round on Boxing Day, and you can already post your predictions!

While we're here, I'd like to thank you all for playing this year and wish you a very happy Christmas! Here's a jolly song to help you celebrate.

It’s confirmed, @DangerousSausage will be the villain in the PON pantomime.
@super_ram and @Fan of Big Tone to be dames.  

Good job everyone, keep sharing your predictions!

I used to be addicted to panto, but it's behind me now. 

It doesn’t exactly seem like you’ve ‘Let it go’, @DangerousSausage. I wager that every Friday night, you find a bar in Germany where you can sing all your favourite Disney tunes, with memories of your pantomime days at the forefront of your mind.
