Take Three Girls

 Take Three Girls  was a drama series broadcast by BBC1 between 1969 and 1971 which followed three girls sharing a flat in Swinging London (17 Glazbury Road, West Kensington W14). It was BBC1's first colour drama series.[ 1 ]

For the second series, Kate and Avril were replaced by journalist Jenny and American psychology graduate Lulie (played byCarolyn Seymour and Barra Grant).[ 2 ]

Two series of 12 episodes were shown on BBC1 between 1969 and 1971. Only 10 episodes ofTHE ORIGINAL 24 still exist.[ 3 ] A four-episode series - Take Three Women showing theORIGINAL characters later in their lives - was broadcast on BBC2 in 1982. Victoria was a widow with a young daughter and Avril an art gallery owner while Kate was sharing her life with her son and his teacher.
