The Production Guide
The script of The Taybor was dated Wednesday 31st March 1976, just over 2 months into the filming of Year 2. The first pink page revisions were published a week later, on Wednesday 7th April, with more the next day on Thursday 8th April. Just before filming, on Tuesday 13th April, a set of blue page revisions were published.
Filming began on Thursday 15th April, just before the long Easter weekend (Friday and Monday were UK holidays). Filming lasted 10 days, ending on Friday 30th April.
It was the last script to include the opening narration.
