In ''Sinderella'', Jim Davidson plays the part of Buttons, manservant to Baron Hard-on (a phallic play on the [[PerpetualPoverty Hardup]] surname normally used in the pantomime; played by Charlie Drake) and best friend of the Baron's daughter Cinderella (Dianne Lee, half of folk/pop duo Peters and Lee), who also has to put up with abuse from [[BigSisterBully Cinderella's stepsisters]], Camilla (Roger Kitter) and Madonna (Dave Lee), but later receives guidance from the [[FairyGodmother Fairy Godmother]] (Mia Carla). Meanwhile, the [[BiggerIsBetterInBed well-hung]] {{Prince Charming}} (Jess Conrad), with the help of his assistant Dandini (David Kristian), organises a [[DancesAndBalls ball]] to try and find a potential wife.

--> '''Camilla (Roger Kitter)''': You got a man?

** Taken UpToEleven when Camilla [[spoiler:moons the audience with the words FUCK OFF written on her naked bottom]] during a confrontation with Buttons.

* PrecisionFStrike: Buttons, the Ugly Stepsisters and (especially) Baron Hard-on took full advantage of the [[AdultsOnlyRating adults-only]] setting of this show. Even [[spoiler:[[BewareTheNiceOnes Cinderella]]]] lets one out at [[spoiler:her stepsisters]] toward the end of the show.

--> '''Cinderella''': No, no, Buttons! [[LargeHam ''(miming writing, very slowly)'' You]] [[SlowMotion caaaaaaaaaan't!]]

* HeliumSpeech: Hilariously invoked when Buttons drinks [[UtilityMagic "weird" water]] offered by Cinderella [[VocalRangeExceeded when he tries to imitate Joe Cocker's higher vocal range]] during a rendition of [[LoveTheme "Up Where We Belong"]].

* MediumAwareness: Buttons occasionally points out the fact the performance is being videotaped for posterity and - potentially - the hope of [[RevisedEnding editing the video to show Cinderella marrying Buttons instead of Prince Charming]], [[spoiler:which, unfortunately for Buttons, does not happen]].
