Once upon a time, I was told that in the early 1990s during his final years of DW tenure, John Nathan-Turner submitted a memo containing ideas for the 30th Anniversary. One of those ideas was using the telesnaps kept by Hugh David for a reconstruction of The Highlanders.
I suspect that this is an apocryphal tale, but I thought that I would ask if anyone knows of any evidence that corroborates the story?
Thanks in advance, h

Yes, I refer to this early on in the article on Lost in the Dark Dimension that I put together in Nothing at the End of the Lane #3.
It appears on the memo (along with various other suggestions) that JNT wrote to Penny Mills, the Head of Video Production for BBC Enterprises, on 18 February 1992.

Cheers Richard! My memory is suspect & I started to wonder if it was just rumour. Thank you for pointing out the reference, time for a re-read. Ironic isn't it that your article about off-air air photos for Evil from the same issue stuck but the recon reference in the very next article didn't  |

Well, the article is nearly 35,000 words long, so I can forgive you for missing a sentence or two!  |

Apart from The Power of the Daleks in Chris Barry's collection, no one knew of the existence of the other telesnaps in the BBC at that time.
