Drama 61-67 is a British anthology drama series which took a different title, based on year of transmission, each year.[2] It alternated with Armchair Theatre from ABC in the Sunday evening slot.[3]

The series was described at the time as epitomising ATV drama.[4]

It is unknown how many episodes exist or are missing, although Nigel Kneale's Drama 64 episode The Crunch is known to exist and is available on DVD. This episode marked the screen debut of a then twelve-year-old Olivia Hussey.
