Series 1, 1984
Scope and Contents
Two boxes containing 15 sub-files holding various forms of scripts for all 12 episodes of series 1 Spitting Image, which originally aired on British television between 26 February and 17 June 1984. The different kinds of scripts present are: rehearsal; camera; production; and post-production; the latter is the most predominant. Also present in some of the episode sub-files are scripts for 'quickies,' which were short vignettes inserted into a show in the final day of filming. Many of these sketches were submitted by members of the public and freelance professional writers.
Along with the episode sub-files, there is a sub-file with 'quickies' scripts, and a sub-file containing paperwork that documents the sketches used in each episode, the name and contact details of a sketch's writer, and fees for work.
