The most famous name under the British Big Top is on the road again after almost 30 years.

Billy Smart's Circus is touring the country and is on it's way to Swindon.

Billy Smart's New World Circus hit the road in 1946 when the famous showman, 'The Guv'nor', bought a Big Top and tossed in a few circus acts as an 'extra attraction' to his funfair.

The circus took off, big time, leaving the funfair far behind.

Henri the Clown - "he's really fit"

Over the next 25 years Smart's, known as 'the Big Show', became a household name touring the country under a massive 5,000 seat Big Top.

And on TV 'the Big Show' pulled in record viewing figures, of 21 million plus, and a 'Tribute to Billy Smart' made history as the BBC's first-ever colour broadcast.

Even after Billy Smart's regular touring ceased, in 1971, the TV programmes continued as a Christmas tradition.

Now after 30 years the fabled Billy Smart's Circus has been brought back to life and is back on the road again.

There are no animal acts but it's still a traditional circus with an international company of human performers.

Performers including trapeze artists, tightrope walkers, hula-hoopers, acrobats and foot jugglers.

But if you check out the message board, on The Billy Smart's website, Henri the clown seems to steal the show.

Henri, it seem is not just a hard-working clown, and superb tightrope walker, but a teenage heart throb:

"We loved your show especially Henri the clown cause he's really fit."

"We both fell in love with Henri. I want to marry him!"

"Henri is soooooooooo fit!!!"

"Henri must have a big ego after reading the guest book but just to make it a little bigger my friend thinks he's gorgeous too."

So if you want to check out one of the most famous British Big Top circuses or just check-out Henri here's your chance.
