Anyone got scripts from series 1-3 with prop footage notes?

[Sci]

I’ve been scrubbing back and forth through the first 3 series, making notes about what shots of the OG Dwarf prop are used where.

There’s 8 shots that are used in the show that aren’t included as DVD extras, (of which there are 9 that aren’t  distant photo-cutouts), but the slates indicate at at least 22 shots were taken at Peerless motion control.

So that’s at least 5 shots that never show up. But that’s the lower end. If any of the unlabled shots are more than first takes, that number goes up.

I’ve seen some versions of the show scripts include what prop shot will be used where. This would be helpful to better compile a list of what shots of the Ol’ Dwarf are truely missing and what are only available at broadcast quality.

I’m not after the physical scripts themselves, just asking “what does it have listed for this shot?” to tie up some loose ends in getting every bit of detail I can on the original prop.

The shots/episodes would be:

Series 1 –

The End @9:26 https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/141727/-/26/normal/bottom/2

Future Echoes @11:32 / Balance of Power @5:10 (possibly same shot, split) https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/165163/KExJU1RFUiBDT05USU5VRVMgU0lOR0lORyk./26/normal/bottom/2 and https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/182314/-/26/normal/bottom/2

Future Echoes @10:24 / Me2 @20:44 https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/164225/-/26/normal/bottom/2 / https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/238885/-/26/normal/bottom/2

Series 2 –

Kryten @2:36 https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/265698/-/26/normal/bottom/2

Kryten @16:37 https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/257481/-/26/normal/bottom/2

Parallel Universe @6:23 https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/357650/-/26/normal/bottom/2

Series 3 –

Bodyswap @16:14 https://smegadrive.ganymede.tv/memelab/449761/-/26/normal/bottom/2

And in the unlikely event that the ending credits-roll lists the top-rearfacing model shot in any script, that one!

Somebody shine the John Hoare Signal.

Interesting! I don’t have any scripts earlier than Series V, I’m afraid, and I think it would be very rare for them to include details of which model shot is used where. Maybe post-production documents rather than shooting scripts.

And then this one from Parallel Universe, which I haven’t spotted anywhere else. Notable that this shot, and the long distance shots from Series 2 and 3 feature different detailing on the model (no protruding bit behind the nameplate, less protruding antenna from the bumpy bit on top).

This shot is the smallest that model has ever looked on screen.
