Theatre 625 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Theatre 625 was a British television drama anthology series, produced by the BBC and transmitted on BBC2 from 1964 to 1968. |
 | | It was one of the first regular programmes in the line-up of the channel, and the title highlighted the fact that it was produced and transmitted on the higher-definition 625-line format, which at the time only BBC2 was available in: the other channels, BBC1 and ITV, initially remained on the lower-quality 405-line format. |
 | | Overall, 114 ninety-minute plays were produced, and for its final year from 1967 the series was produced in colour, in common with the rest of the BBC2 line-up, the channel being the first in Europe to broadcast in colour. |
