Premise

This bilingual series featured a set that resembled a two-ring circus and recorded before an audience of approximately 700. Ringmaster Monsieur Loyal (Guy Mauffette) presented various circus acts such as animals, lion tamers and trapeze performers. Two clowns (Guy L'Ecuyer, Giani Scarpi) were also series regulars.[1]

Production

The Montreal-produced Caravan occasionally recorded episodes in other communities in Ontario, Quebec and in 1962 the Atlantic.

Scheduling

This hour-long series was broadcast on Fridays on CBC's English network at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern) for three seasons, each from early July to September. On Radio-Canada, the French network, episodes were seen on Saturdays.

gollark: You really can't do the "mysterious/obfuscation" thing.
gollark: Well, then how will you ship "PotatOS Light"?
gollark: If you change it it would just autoupdate anyway.
gollark: Well, .registry uses potatOS's binary serialization format (not CBOR, it's weird and proprietary for historical reasons) and potatoBIOS is compressed.
gollark: The UUID does basically nothing except... confuse logs slightly?
