 During the production of ''[[The Crusade (TV story)|The Crusade]]'', Camfield had a falling out with Doctor Who's regular composer, [[Dudley Simpson]] and as a result, refused to use him on further stories in which he directed.
-The [[location filming]] for ''[[The Time Meddler (TV story)|The Time Meddler]]'' actually included [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]]'s return to [[London]] in the final episode of ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'', "[[The Chase (TV story)#The Planet of Decision (6)|The Planet of Decision]]". Therefore he was either, as [[William Russell]] claims, the actual [[still photographer]] for the montage at the end of "The Planet of Decision" ([[DCOM]]: "[[The Planet of Decision]]") or the director of a now-unknown BBC still photographer, according to [[David J Howe]] and friends. ([[REF]]: ''[[Doctor Who The Handbook: The First Doctor|The First Doctor Handbook]]'') The two sources agree he was present throughout the still session, even if they disagree about who actually opened the shutter.

 For the DVD release of ''[[The Web of Fear (TV story)|The Web of Fear]]'' in [[2013]], an in-joke reference to Camfield was featured in the video reconstruction of the currently missing episode three — using [[John Cura]]'s [[tele-snaps]] linked up to the existing soundtrack — where the wrapper of a [[chocolate]] bar [[Driver Evans]] takes from a platform vending machine reads "[[Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate]]".
