Did you know

  • Trivia
    In an interview on Can You Hear the Earth Scream (2006), Terrance Dicks recalled a conversation in which Camfield lamented the fact that he wanted to make more artistic work like Antonioni (Michelangelo Antonioni) or Godard (Jean-Luc Godard), but that people tended to think of him as Don Siegel. Dicks told him "There's nothing wrong with being Don Siegel!".
