Oh In Colour

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.)

The show ran for 30 minutes without commercial breaks, as is typical for programmes broadcast on the BBC.

The entire series ironically exists as black-and-white telerecordings made for foreign sale.

The cast are similar, too, with mainstays John Bluthal and Fanny Carby taking part in both programmes.
