These pages include the cast and crew for episodes 1 and 5 of the series, Boys from the Blackstuff from 1982. The lists include the stuntmen, and the day by day schedule of the two episodes. Episode 1 includes the death of Snowy, in a fall from a window, which obviously involved a stuntman.
Thanks to Rachel Selby, from Costume, for sharing these pages, and for keeping them safe since the early 1980s.

Tony Wass: Myself and Andy Redfern were the Boom Ops on this and I was also the dubbing editor and gram op – we got a BAFTA for the sound too! This was the first time video audio was track laid like film, it took me some weeks……
Jane Partridge: I was working as Props Clerk, then. Can remember the faces of the lads who worked on it but not the names! ? Chris, Alan Fortey (Props Buyer Toni’s son), Dave Ackrill possibly – not sure if Bill did that one, too. Remember them getting ready to go away for the filming.
Just looked at the date when boys from the blackstuff was filmed. It says from april to may 1982. But that cant be right because if you look at the episode georges last ride, he’s in his living room holding up a letter. Camera faces the letter, and on it you can see an apoinment saying for 29th september 1982! Reply please.
