Cabaret Cartoons is a live light entertainment series broadcast by BBC Television 1936–1939 and 1946. 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. Rutherford did not speak: the producer, Cecil Madden, decreed that his Mancunian accent was inappropriate to be heard on the BBC.
No episodes have survived.
