About this Item

Comprising, title page, then 66 pages + 3 of notes. The script is bound with two steel paper fasteners with a brown card front cover, the rear cover, if there was one, is missing. The front cover is somewhat creased and marked. The pages are slightly foxed, toned and creased. There are minor hand corrections in pencil and ink. The script is from the estate of Bob Baker (1939-2021), a prolific writer most famous for his work on Doctor Who and Wallace and Gromit. I can find no evidence that this play was ever performed, though an agent's label to the title page indicates that a production was seriously considered. It is undated but the aging to the paper and the type would indicate late-1970s or early 1980s, and it seems entirely unconnected to the book of the same name published in 2013.
