Cabaret Cartoons is a live light entertainment series broadcast by BBC Television 1936–1939 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.
[Note 2] The following performers appeared in Cabaret Cartoons five or more times, or as of February 2016[update] are the subjects of Wikipedia articles.
