Production notes

In order to provide enough episodes for a package (114?) a final 10 episodes were commissioned. John Marsden having left Yorkshire Television, Ann Ayoub was the Executive Producer. The "honeymoon" premise gave Neil fresh plot opportunities, and he managed to script the Raggy Dolls back into the Reject Bin so that subsequent repeats would appear to have continuity.
