      Note/s:
      • The script is labelled 'Episode HK' on the cover page. The cover page has been heavily annotated in blue and black ink: the script running times are crossed out in both blue and black ink; a name in the top left-hand corner of the page (seemingly 'Caitlin' but the surname is unintelligible) has been written in blue ink and crossed out in black ink, and the name 'Bill Hughes' has been written in black ink across the top right-hand corner of the page. (The Crawford Productions tribute website (crawfordproductions.tv) indicates that Hughes was working in the sound department at this stage, and had not yet moved on to directing.)
      • The script is annotated in blue ink. Annotations are primarily stage directions (for example, the length of time to hold a shot). This includes blocking in the movement of characters in certain scenes. For certain scenes involving full rooms and/or complicated movements, the scene is blocked out in the blank spaces on the page (see, for example, page 33). The annotations seem to be in two different hands, both in blue ink.
      • On page 42 are two loose pages (on blue paper but apparently a duplicate of the original) , showing the sketches of the stage sets for the baccarat school: the sketches are drawn on graph paper and accompanied by explanatory notes. One of the sketches has been annotated in blue pen (a single alteration of or addition to a portion of the set).
      • The final page includes a list of crew credits:
        Written by John Dingwall.
        Edited by Jim Stapleton.
        Typed by Hilary Burgess, Christine Rook, Shirley Ballard, Margaret Younger.
        Checked by Hilary Burgess, Christine Rook, Shirley Ballard, Laurel Vassett, Margaret Younger.
        Duplicated by Jeanette Tilley.
        The space below these for 'Producer's Remarks' has been left blank.
