Commissioned Writers' Contracts, 1983 - 1991

 Sub-Sub-Sub-Sub-Sub-Series
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.10275/3/2/1/1/1/1/1

Scope and Contents

Contracts and accompanying letters and other documentation for writers, and some lyricists and composers, who were commissioned by Spitting Image Productions Limited to produce work for some or all of the first six series of Spitting Image, between 1984 and 1989, along with the special episodes produced in this period. Some of these writers were also commissioned to work on merchandise items, such as publications and audio recordings, and contracts for these projects are also present.

The contract files are in alphabetical order, spread across three boxes. When there is a writing partnership between two or more writers, the surname that comes first in the partnership (not necessarily in alphabetical order) determines were their file sits.
