Kaleidoscope
TV Show
ReportKaleidoscope was a British television programme, transmitted on BBC Television Service from 1946 until 1953. A light entertainment show, it was one of the most popular programmes of the immediate post-war era.
The first episode was transmitted on 2 November 1946; thereafter, it was usually transmitted at 8:30pm on Friday evenings. Initially, it was a thirty-minute broadcast airing every other week, alternating with the early sitcom Pinwright's Progress, but later in its run, the episodes increased to one hour.
The programme had a variety of different features, including 'Collector's Corner,' in which antiques expert Iris Brooke would show various items of interest; 'Word Play,' a charades game performed by young actors and actresses from the Rank Organisation's "Company of Youth," also known as the "Charm School;" the 'Memory Man' and 'Be Your Own Detective,' a series of short thrillers designed to test the viewers' powers of observation, written by Mileson Horton in a similar style to his earlier series Telecrime. There were also various comedy sketches – Tony Hancock had his first regular television role on the programme, appearing for four episodes in 1951.
Kaleidoscope was transmitted live from the BBC's studios at Alexandra Palace. McDonald Hobley acted as the presenter, and it was initially produced by John Irwin. The final episode was shown on 26 June 1953.

(Episode violet) A character mentions the death of a cat, only for it to become clear very quickly that this is not a real cat and the character is making up a story for sympathy. There are no details about anything in the story, it’s only casually referenced and played for comedy.

if someone's partner dies (or even if they just believe they're partner is dead because that is what they were told) and they date somebody else, that is not cheating.

Not direct hate speech, but definitely racist behavior and language. Ex., In Violet episode, a white man fires a black woman for bringing her daughter to work and says "this isn't some ghetto, backyard cookout;" a woman is seen clutching her purse when a black man sits near her.

In episode Yellow at around 36 minutes there is a scene with a close up on a really bad hand wound. It is very bloody and graphic. I dont have too many specifics because it is too gorey for me to watch and I will be skipping through so if anyone else wants to give more detail please do.
