Episodes by Production Location

One of the benefits of Nightfall being an anthology -- as opposed to a dramatic series with a regular cast -- was that it gave the drama units at other CBC locations the opportunity to produce episodes for the show.

During the first season, all 38 episodes of Nightfall were produced at CBC Toronto by either BIll Howell, Paul Mills or John Douglas. Regional production of Nightfall episodes began during the second season with episode #47:"Your Fortune In Twenty Words or Less", produced at CBC Edmonton by Lawrie Seligman*, followed quickly by episodes from Bill Gray in Calgary, John Juliani in Montréal, Elizabeth Fox in Halifax, Don Kowalchuk in Vancouver and, finally, Glen Tilley in St. Johns at the end of the second season.

Regional production of Nightfall continued throughout the third season with the majority of episodes being produced in Toronto. The final episode of the series, #100: "Waters Under the Bridge", was produced in Montréal by former Toronto recording engineer, John Jessop.

The following is a list of all 100 Nightfall episodes, sorted by production location and in descending order by the number of episodes produced at that location.

*While episode #46: "Mindrift" was produced outside of Toronto, it was not originally produced as an episode of Nightfall. It was originally a demo program made by Clack Sound Studios in NYC, producers of the then-popular Nightwatch horror series airing on the Mutual Broadcasting System. The Nightfall Unit purchased "Mindrift" from Clack Sound Studios, spliced on a Luther Kranst introduction and close, and aired it as part of the series. This was the only time an outside program was packaged in this fashion.
