Snow White 2 is an episode of the British comedy television series "The Goodies".

This episode is also known as ""Pantomime".

Plot

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the pantomime ....

The Goodies live next door to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".

When "Snow White" runs away with a handsome prince, she arranges for the dwarfs to be garden gnomes. When only four of the seven dwarfs are left, they advertise for three other dwarfs to join them. Tim, Graeme and Bill pretend to be dwarfs and join, but they are forced to leave the group because they are too tall.

The Goodies, who are then out of work, leave home. They get hopelessly lost in a forest and are kidnapped by some ladies. Taken to a large palace, they have to wait on the princes and princesses (including "Snow White", "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty"), following which they are thrown on the scrapheap with Buttons, the ugly sisters and other pantomime characters played by men. The Goodies rebel against their position and are able to win out against the odds.
