Six Dates with Barker is a series of six one-off, half-hour situation comedies showcasing the talents of Ronnie Barker. All were broadcast by London Weekend Television early in 1971.
Writers on the series included John Cleese and Spike Milligan. The producer was Humphrey Barclay.
There were several spin-offs to come from this series.
Unlike many television programmes of the time, all six shows exist in the archives. They have been released by Network DVD, both as a single-disc individual release and together with Hark at Barker as The Ronnie Barker Collection.
All episodes were produced in colour except The Odd Job, which was videotaped in black and white due to the 1971 ITV Colour Strike.
