Black and Blue (TV series)

Black and Blue is a BBC TV comedy-drama series, first broadcast in 1973. Its overall title refers to the black and blue humour of the episodes.

The show consisted of 6 television plays of 50–60 minutes duration, each being separate and self-contained from the others, the only connection between them being the two types of humour.

The first episode was broadcast on 14 August 1973, with the last episode airing on 18 September 1973. The episode "Secrets" was wiped, only surviving because a domestic videotape copy was made from the mastertape by its producer, Mark Shivas.
