'''''BBC-3''''' is a [[BBC]] television programme, devised and produced by [[Ned Sherrin]] and hosted by [[Robert Robinson (broadcaster)|Robert Robinson]],<ref name="BBC3-1">[[Radio Times]] entry for {{Cite episode | series = BBC-3 | network = [[BBC Television]] | station = [[BBC One]] | date = 1965-10-16}}</ref> which aired for twenty-four hour-long editions during the winter of 1965–1966.

It was the third in a line of weekend satire-and-chat shows, successor to ''[[That Was The Week That Was]]'' and ''[[Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life]]'', though [[David Frost]] did not participate in this series.

Regular performers included [[John Bird (actor)|John Bird]], [[Lynda Baron]], [[David Battley]], [[Roy Dotrice]], [[Bill Oddie]], and [[Leonard Rossiter]].<ref name="BBC3-1" /><ref name="BBC3-2">[[Radio Times]] entry for {{Cite episode | series = BBC-3 | network = [[BBC Television]] | station = [[BBC1]] | date = 1965-11-27 }}</ref><ref name="BBC3-3">[[Radio Times]] entry for {{Cite episode | series = BBC-3 | network = [[BBC Television]] | station = [[BBC1]] | date = 1965-12-11 }}</ref> Guests included [[Millicent Martin]] and [[Alan Bennett]].<ref name="BBC3-2" /> The musical director was Dave Lee.<ref name="BBC3-1" /> With its white sets, ''BBC-3'' retained the look of its predecessor, ''Not So Much a Programme''. Its name was a reference to the BBC's second channel, [[BBC2]], which had started the previous year.

== Swearing ==

In the edition of 13 November 1965, during a discussion on theatre censorship in which [[Robert Robinson (broadcaster)|Robert Robinson]] and [[Mary McCarthy (author)|Mary McCarthy]] also participated, [[Kenneth Tynan]] became the first person ever to say "[[fuck]]" on British television; he claimed, perhaps disingenuously, that the word no longer shocked anyone.<ref>{{cite news|title=My TV 4-letter word by Tynan|work=Daily Mirror|page=1|date=1965-11-15}}</ref> The storm which resulted forced the BBC to make a public apology for Tynan's comments. No recording of the incident is known to exist.
