Arrangement
The arrangement of this sub-sub-series reflects how the material was originally stored. The contracts for the first six series were stored together, separated by category (i.e. writers' files, puppeteers' files, etc). From series 7 onwards, all contracts for a particular series were kept together in a ring-bound file (sometimes two), with each file internally subdivided, separating each category of contract.
