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,[1] with the last episode airing on 18 September 1973. The episode "Secrets" was wiped,[2] only surviving because a domestic videotape copy was made from the mastertape by its producer, Mark Shivas.
