  • Eastern Cabaret was a live variety programme series broadcast in 1938–39 on BBC Television. It was one of several spin-offs from the BBC series Cabaret. Three episodes were broadcast; they were produced by Harry Pringle, and the first two were presented by Cyril Fletcher. The BBC television service was suspended on 1 September 1939 with the outbreak of World War II, and no further episodes were made. According to Radio Times (20 May 1938), "Harry Pringle, Reginald Smith's officemate, is having a busy time preparing for his Eastern Cabaret, to be given next week on Monday, May 30, and Saturday, June 4. One of his difficulties was getting snakes without temperament and susceptible to the charms of native charmers. He went to five different agencies and gave auditions to thirty-two snakes, and even then failed to find a satisfactory performer". A later entry in Radio Times suggests that this may not have been entirely serious, saying that the background had been "codded" (i.e. parodied) by compere Cyril Fletcher. No episodes have survived.
