Oh In Colour was a comedy television sketch programme broadcast on BBC 2 in 1970. It ran for one six-episode series from September to November 1970.{{Cite web|url=https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/oh_in_colour/|title=Oh In Colour - BBC2 Sketch Show|first=British Comedy|last=Guide|website=British Comedy Guide}} It was written by and featured Spike Milligan, who was accompanied by different stars every week.{{Cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312178/fullcredits|title=Oh in Colour (TV Series 1970) - IMDb|via=www.imdb.com}} 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. (Milligan later complained of the BBC's cold attitude towards the series and stated that he would have made more programmes had he been given the opportunity.)
