"Kisses at Fifty" was a British television drama, part of the Play for Today series, originally broadcast in January 1973.

It was written by Colin Welland, directed by Michael Apted,[1] and starred Bill Maynard as a man who kisses a barmaid (played by Marjorie Yates) on his 50th birthday. Rosemarie Dunham played his wife, and Lori Wells played his daughter Sandra.[2]

It dealt realistically with issues of adultery and failed marriage, and won the British Academy Television Award for Best Single Drama in 1974.[3] In real life, Maynard was only 44. As of March 2024, it is available on BBC iPlayer.[4]
