Where Was Spring?

Where Was Spring? is a British television sketch comedy programme, which was first aired by the BBC in 1969-70.

The cast consisted of Eleanor Bron and John Fortune, two stalwarts of the British Satire scene in the 1960s. The show consisted of a series of two-handed sketches performed by Bron and Fortune, mostly playing married or romantic couples though often not seen romantically.

The sketches were performed in a television studio setting which reinforced the sophistication of the scripts.

One distinctive feature of the show's style were stylised photographs of both Bron and Fortune dressed as Graeco-Roman Gods, perhaps illustrative of the perfection or imperfection of classic male-female relationships.

Recordings of the show are believed to have been wiped by the BBC as part of an economy measure.

Many of the sketches were reproduced in the book Is Your Marriage Really Necessary? by Eleanor Bron and John Fortune.
