The script features a large quantity of pink revision pages which are dated August 23, 1968 and is heavily annotated throughout with various inscriptions in Whitehurst's hand and the name of the episode inscribed to the spine in black pen.

The script is accompanied by a large collection of production paperwork comprising of a 19 page staple bound scene breakdown, script notes, cast list, memo on Hammer Film Productions headed paper, two loose script revision pages on yellow paper dated 11th July 1968 and 14 artist contract sheets for the principal cast members, each inscribed with the name Derek in pencil.

An incredibly rare, interesting and concise collection which clearly saw heavy use during the production of this well regarded series.
