      Note/s:
      • The script is labelled 'Episode JB' on cover page. A notation in top right-hand corner indicates that it is the 'Blocking' script. A handwritten annotation on the cover page directs the script to the attention of Rod Hardy.
      • The script is heavily annotated throughout in black ink (the same ink as the annotations on the cover page). The annotations largely show the set up of particular shots and the blocking of scenes.
      • The annotations may be in two separate hands, though the distinction is not marked.
      • The final page includes a list of crew credits:
