Pinwright's Progress is a British television sitcom that aired on the BBC Television Service from 1946 to 1947, and was the world's first regular half-hour televised sitcom.[1] The ten episodes, which aired fortnightly in alternation with Kaleidoscope, were broadcast live from the BBC studios at Alexandra Palace. Still photographs are all that remain of the show's transmitted form.

Pinwright's Progress was written by Rodney Hobson, produced and directed by John Glyn-Jones, and the script editor was Ted Kavanagh, who also wrote the BBC radio comedy series It's That Man Again.
