Theatre 625 was a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) drama anthology series transmitted on BBC2 between 1964 and 1968. In all, 114 ninety-minute plays were produced. Some of the best-known productions were a 1965 production of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (using Nigel Kneale's 1954 theatrical adaptation); John Hopkins's four-part drama Talking to a Stranger (1966), which told the same story from four different viewpoints; and the 1968 science-fiction allegory The Year of the Sex Olympics. Among the screenplays known to have been written by an Australian or Australian resident is The Swallow's Nest by Robert Wales (1968).
