Intimate Cabaret
Intimate Cabaret was a British television programme which aired from 1937 to 1939 on BBC Television. It was a variety programme. There were nine episodes; the first seven were produced by Harry Pringle and the last two by Eric Fawcett. None of the episodes still exist: they were broadcast live, and methods to record live television did not exist until late 1947, and were used rarely by the BBC until around 1953–55.
