The Big Revue

The Big Revue

"The Big Revue" was a Canadian variety television show. It was the first ever production of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's television network when both debuted in 1952. The show was directed by Norman Jewison and written by John Aylesworth and Frank Peppiatt. The pilot episode first aired on September 9, 1952.

The series was hosted by actress Toby Robins who would later rise to fame as a panelist on "Front Page Challenge". It was on "The Big Revue" that Don Harron introduced TV audiences to his country bumpkin alter ego, "Charlie Farquharson" (who years later would be immortalized on the American series "Hee Haw").
