UK folks - the TV variety show The Good Old Days is back on BBC iplayer and broadcast at the moment, looks like 5 episodes from the 70s being repeated this time round. Often one or two specialty or circus acts an episode.

(The City Varieties itself is still going as a theatre but the occasional variety shows it hosts are very much third artist syndrome at this point, copies of copies of the heyday of variety. Only worthwhile for specific acts you know you want to see, imho.)
