      Note/s:
      • The script is labelled 'Episode UU2' on the cover page. A notation in the top right-hand corner of the cover page indicates that this script was designated for Don Battye. A notation under that (in a different hand and different ink) reads, 'PRE-PRODUCTION'.
      • The script is annotated in blue felt pen. The annotations are alterations to dialogue (note, for example, page 16, where 'G’day' has been altered to 'G’morning') and to stage directions. The degree of annotation is fairly minimal.
      • The script also shows a single annotation in black ink: page 19, where a live scene has been changed to a film scene. This is the only alteration in black ink, and it is partially over-written in blue felt pen.
