Western Cabaret was a live variety programme series broadcast in 1939 on BBC Television. It was one of several spin-offs from the BBC series Cabaret. It was compered by Big Bill Campbell and produced by Harry Pringle. Four episodes were broadcast.[Note 1] The BBC television service was suspended on 1 September 1939 with the outbreak of World War II, and no further episodes were made.
The Radio Times said that the television studio "will be turned into a camp clearing, with a glowing camp-fire and log huts, and all the artists will be introduced as though they were part of the place".[2]
No episodes have survived.[Note 2]
