The wealth of telesnaps that exist is down to the work of just one man - John Cura. Richard Bignell examines who he was and why he took the photos.

Additonal details

Many of these were in the private hands of people involved in the making of the show as a record of their work. The final discovery to date of telesnaps was in October 2003 which led to the recovery of six of the seven episodes of Marco Polo from director Waris Hussein.
  • There is no publisher's summary on the back cover which is instead given over to a full colour advertisement to the Royal Mail 50th Anniversary Doctor Who Stamp and Collectibles.
  • This magazine and had a cover price of £5.99 (UK) / $11.99 (US)
