The Cabaret of Dr Caligari

The Cabaret of Dr Caligari was a BBC Radio 4 comedy series first broadcast in November and December 1991. It was written by Alan Gilbey, and produced by Anne Edyvean.
Starring John Woodvine as Dr. Bryon Caligari, Victoria Wicks as Anthrax and Sylvester McCoy as Snuff, "The Cabaret of Dr Caligari" is a macabre comedy about the goings on at a night club owned by Dr Caligari. The episodes centre on the unpleasant actions of an individual (usually a character strongly associated with the 1980s), who finds themselves in Dr Caligari's nightclub, catching up with them in a suitably ironic way. 
The title of the series is a reference to the German Expressionist film "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920). This has caused confusion for some listings sites, and some radio presenters have stumbled when introducing it. A previous use of "The Cabaret of Dr Caligari" was in "The Sandman" No.17, Calliope, 1989, in which it is a novel.
It was originally created as a late night live show created for the London Bubble Theatre Company featuring early career performances by Sharron D. Clarke, Lisa Spenz and Lynn Whitehead.
