Doctor Who, Logopolis Part 1 Script

original production material

An original presentation script for the repeat transmission of "Logopolis" episode one. This script was carefully compiled by the production office from the original studio recording scripts to produce a chronological record of the scenes within each episode. Studio recording scripts normally show scenes in recording order, so for instance all scenes within the TARDIS are normally recorded together and script pages are color coded scene by scene. A studio recording script is not suitable as a guide to transmission so "Presentation" scripts have to be compiled. Copies of these scripts were also sent to the BBC Drama Script Archive. The BBC TV Presentation Department is the section of the Corporation responsible for putting programs on air and part of the requirement for each transmission is the provision of a script for review purposes. This script is the actual copy supplied to Presentation in November 1981 for repeat transmission as part of the Five Faces of Doctor Who celebration.
