Cabaret Cartoons was a live light entertainment series broadcast by BBC Television 1936–39 and 1946.[Note 1] It was a spin-off from the series Cabaret. Its distinctive feature was that English artist Harry Rutherford (1903–85) drew cartoon sketches of the performers during the broadcast.[1] Rutherford did not speak: the producer, Cecil Madden, decreed that his Mancunian accent was inappropriate to be heard on the BBC.[2]
No episodes have survived.[Note 2]
