A Time for Love is a 1972 television series for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. It consisted of ten stand alone episodes on the topic of love. It was entirely shown in Melbourne. [1]

Contents

The series was inspired by the British series Love Story [2] although series producer James Davern said "This series will be nothing of the boy-meets-girl type nor the narrow type of romantic interchange," of that show. "It is a very broad interpretation of love in Australia... The function of an anthology series like this one is to stimulate people intellectually and a lot of people just don't want stimulus. I think, however, we have a certain moral obligation to produce this sort of program." [3]

It was followed on the ABC schedule by another anthology series, Quartet .
