Thanks to Rachel Selby from the costume department, for keeping these scene by scene breakdowns for Boys from the Black Stuff ep 1 ‘There’s Nothing For You’, safe since the early 1980s, and for allowing them to be shared here.
This episode ends with the death of Snowy, as he falls from a window onto the street below.
The photo of Snowy’s death is from make-up designer, Maggie Thomas.

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.

This is the cast and crew list, and scene breakdown for one of the episodes (Goats and Tigers) of the drama series, Nanny, starring Wendy Craig. The episode was transmitted in February 1981 on BBC1. It was a London production, hosted at Pebble Mill, and recorded in Studio A.
The pages have been shared by costume assistant, Rachel Selby. It is interesting to see her hand written notes on the sheets, and the crossing through, when the scene had been completed.
The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:
Lesley Weaver: ‘Wonderful time for me as a Make up lady and I was lucky enough to work on all three series.’
Susan Astle: ‘Wendy was such a great person, all us make up ladies loved working with her.’
Chris Rogers: ‘I loved this series it has never been repeated on other channels? Wendy Craig is fabulous.’
Raymond Lee: ‘Never worked directly on the series but remember vividly showing Wendy Craig how to use the canteen coffee/tea machine!!’
Keith Brook: ‘Oh, that brings back memories. What a wonderful series to work on.’
