The Wright Way is a British television sitcom written by Ben Elton which aired on BBC One in April–May 2013. It concerns a health and safety manager, his staff, and his family. Widely panned by critics, it was cancelled after one series.

The series centres around Gerald Wright (David Haig), manager of the health and safety department of the fictional Baselricky Council implied to be in Essex. Wright's team includes Malika Maha (Mina Anwar), Clive Beeches (Luke Gell), and Bernard Stanning (Toby Longworth). His family includes daughter Susan (Joanne Matthews) and her girlfriend Victoria (Beattie Edmondson), and ex-wife Valerie (Kacey Ainsworth).

The Wright Way (originally titled Slings and Arrows) was commissioned by BBC One Controller Danny Cohen and Controller of BBC Comedy Commissioning Cheryl Taylor.

The series was filmed at the BBC's studios at MediaCityUK in Salford, Greater Manchester from January to March 2013.

Critics did not like the first episode. The second episode was heavily criticised by Tom Phillips in the New Statesman. Adam Postans in The Mirror called it 'the worst sitcom ever'.
