Production
It was directed by Alan Burke, who was borrowed from the Elizabethan Theatre Trust. It was the first directing he did for the ABC. "In those days there were really no people there to provide support and guidance," recalled Burke. "All one could do was talk to other producers afterwards. What I was not confident was 'calling the shots'. But as we had only 2 cameras in those days it was not a big problem."
