The Catacombs The Production Guide
Script To Screen: The Taybor
by Martin Willey

Script To Screen


Filming started in Command Center on Thursday 15th April 1976, just before the four day weekend (Good Friday/Easter Monday), and finished on Thursday 22nd April after 4 days.

The Taybor The Taybor

The call sheet includes Nick Tate. Alan Carter had already been written out of the dining scene (on 8th April) and his only lines would be when drives the moonbuggy to search for the Emporium. As he was essentially just a background extra during these Command Center screens, it was decided to not include him (perhaps by Tate himself). He does not appear on other call sheets.

The Taybor

Sarah Bullen has the name "Barbara", as in the script. Only in the final scene will Helena call her "Kate". She is only seen in later shots (she is in the Solarium during much of the early events of the episode).

The Taybor

There are three Command Center operatives, but we only see Simon Dawson in these early shots. Two Alphans who had appeared in The Metamorph are also listed here, Chris Figg and Maryanne; neither are visible in the episode.

The Taybor The Taybor

On the following days, and later scenes, are Paul Barton and Gail Hunter.
