DOCTOR WHO

On Dr Who’s 10th anniversary, Radio Times put out a special 30 pence colour supplement to accompany the main magazine. It included interviews with various Doctors, a new fiction story by Terry Nation, and instructions on how to build a Dalek.

Radio Times Editor/Art Director David Driver initially asked Hampson to illustrate the Terry Nation story. Frank should have jumped at it but ill-health dogged him and I think he was scared he couldn’t do it. Or couldn’t do it in the time.

Over a slap-up lunch they persuaded him to do this Dalek page instead and were delighted with the result. He wrote them a note saying how nicely it had reproduced, and please could he have the artwork back
