Just a couple of technical points:
- To be honest, that *is* a big "if". Yes, he said it and no, I'm not
saying he isn't truthful, but it was twenty years ago remember, and quite
a
few of the people involved have gone through some rich and strange sea-changes of memory since then.
True, very true-- but Chris B. said it in 1988, which was a bit closer to the time.
- Chris was the script editor, but Terry Nation (remeber him? the guy
who's
copping all the 'Deliverance' flak) wrote all of Greif's scripts, someone else directed him to play it the way he did and Greif ... errr ... played it. So Chris's view isn't the be-all of the matter
Again, that's fair, but Chris Boucher did have an unusual amount of input on the scripts and characters, given that he did a lot of rewriting on Nation's scripts early on cos of the time constraint, and in the second series he did write a lot of the Travis stories, so I'm inclined to give his opinion more weight in these matters than I usually would.
