10 Doctor Who Cameos You Definitely Missed
5. John Nathan-Turner (Arc Of Infinity)
This is by far the hardest cameo on the list to spot – but persevere with that pause button and you’ll find it eventually!
The episode in question is part four of Arc of Infinity, towards the beginning. Here, the TARDIS lands in Amsterdam, and the Fifth Doctor consults the directory inside a telephone booth. Pay close attention and you might just glimpse a man walking behind the booth in a brown sheepskin coat.
That man is Doctor Who stalwart John Nathan-Turner, the producer who oversaw the show from 1980, to its cancellation in 1989. Unlike the Silver Nemesis cameos however, Nathan-Turner's inclusion was nothing more than an accident.
The filming in Amsterdam attracted lots of attention, with many shots ruined by people pointing at the camera. Consequently, JNT had to act as a crowd marshal, which is how he ended up in-shot.
Reportedly, on another occasion, an old woman started attacking him, believing him to be a thief. Sadly, this particular instance of crowd control wasn’t committed to camera!
