Two stills related to Scenes 107 & 108 that are worth revisiting:
That still appears on page 211 of the DS Memories.
...
And before we get back to the script, I want to share the following candid production still that I made reference to back when we were dealing with Scene 69(the picnic). It's of David Selby, Kate Jackson and John Karlen taking a break from shooting the scenes at the greenhouse:
And one of the interesting things about what Karlen is doing is that he had never ridden a bicycle before he did so for the scenes for NoDS, so he practiced a lot before shooting so he wouldn't look ridiculous. Of course, if the film had been shot today, they could have just put training wheels on the bike and then taken them out in post. But that sort of technology wasn't available back in 1971.
That still appears on page 211 of the DS Memories.

... DS Almanac Millennium Edition ... - and page 154 of the same book features a still of Alex at the greenhouse -
- riding his bicycle - and I'm actually surprised (it) scanned as well as (it) did because (it) is only about 2 inches by 1 3/8 inches on the page...
