The Production GuideScript To Screen: Dorzak
by Martin Willey
The Production GuideFilming began on Tuesday 2nd November 1976, and lasted 14 days later on Friday 19th November, three days over schedule. This is the shooting schedule, published shortly before filming (and before script amendments issued on 3rd November).
As usual, initial shots were done on the standing sets on stage L for 6 days. On Tuesday 9th they to the specially constructed sets of the Docking Port and Croton ship. On most episodes these were built on stage M, but during this episode these were being used for the Walt Disney film One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (Devil's Planet sets were on stage B), so the North Tunnel stage was used instead.
By Monday 8th they were slipping behind schedule; shots in the Tech Lab and Detention Room fell to Tuesday 9th. The docking port scenes (due on 9th and 10th) were then pushed back to the end, moving straight into the Croton ship.
They finally finished the Croton ship scenes on the 17th, one day late, but then they had to do the docking port shots. Together with Croton reshoots, these final shots anothe 3 days, until 19th, after 14 days of filming, and 3 days late.
