Don’t Forget to Write! is a British television sitcom, broadcast by the BBC from 1977 to 1979.

The central character is George Maple (George Cole) who was formerly a successful playwright, but is now procrastinating, lacking self-confidence and suffering from writer's block. He is seen at home with his supportive wife Mabel (Gwen Watford), son Wilfred (Ron Emslie) and daughter Kate (Claire Walker). They are frequently visited by neighbour Tom Lawrence (Francis Matthews) who is a confident, suave and successful playwright and cleaner Mrs Field (Daphne Heard).

The sitcom was written by the distinguished playwright and screenwriter Charles Wood. Each of the 12 episodes ran for longer than most sitcoms at 50 minutes and there is no laugh track or live studio audience. The first series of 6 episodes was broadcast on Mondays from 18 April to 23 May 1977 at 9pm and the second series on Thursdays from 18 January to 22 February 1979 at 10pm. There have not been any repeat showings of the series but in 2013 a Region 4 DVD was released by BBC Worldwide for the Australian market.
