Oh In Colour

Overview

Oh In Colour was a comedy television sketch programme broadcast on BBC TV in 1970. It ran for one six-episode series from September to November 1970. It was written by and featured Spike Milligan, who was accompanied by different stars every week. It was shown after the thoroughly more popular Q5, also written by Milligan and Neil Shand. It is likely the programme was written to bridge the long production gap between Q5 and the next series, Q6, which did not appear on TV screens until 1975. Due to the BBC's then-policy of deleting old programmes to save film, only one episode is currently known to exist, which, ironically, given the programme's title, exists only in black-and-white.
