There Ought to Be Clowns

on BBC Two England

An Open Door programme made by Clown Cavalcade.
There have been clowns since time began because people have always needed a good laugh. Maybe it's something in the water, but the British have one of the oldest clowning traditions in the world. Clowns have popped up in palaces and market squares, theatres, opera houses, music-halls and circuses - they even found their way into the movies. But in these days of the recession where are the clowns? What price a good laugh?
