Production notes

Since series 7 was thought to be the last of the Raggy Dolls, Orchid Production closed down their animation department and Mark Mason left to set up on his own. But YTV decided to commission one final series to wrap the series up, so Orchid hired Peter Hale to storyboard and supervise the new series.
