A Time for Love (TV series)

A Time for Love is a 1972 television series for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. It consisted of ten stand alone episodes on the topic of love. It was entirely show in Melbourne.

The series was inspired by the British series Love Story although series producer James Davern said "This series will be nothing of the boy-meets-girl type nor the narrow type of romantic interchange," of that show. "It is a very broad interpretation of love in Australia... The function of an anthology series like this one is to stimulate people intellectually and a lot of people just don't want stimulus. I think, however, we have a certain moral obligation to produce this sort of program."

It was followed on the ABC schedule by another anthology series, Quartet.
