Although a great many director/producers, journalists, and editors passed through the programme, one [[camera operator|cameraman]] played an overwhelming role in shaping the appeal of the series. George Jesse Turner served on the programme from 1966 until its end. By his own count, he shot the principal footage for some 600 of its 1,400 editions, and filmed all of Michael Apted's documentaries in the ''Seven Up!'' series.<ref>George Jesse Turner & Jeff Anderson, ''Trouble Shooter'', p. viii.</ref> Turner was shot himself – in the backside – by an Israeli bullet while filming a clash between [[Fatah]] guerrillas and the [[Israeli Army]] in 1969.<ref>George Jesse Turner & Jeff Anderson, ''Trouble Shooter'', pp. 7–13.</ref> Shortly before he retired from Granada, Turner was honoured by BAFTA in 1999 for his work as a documentary cameraman.

Among the many cameramen who also contributed to ''WIA'' was [[Chris Menges]], who went on to become a distinguished cinematographer – ''[[Kes (film)|Kes]]'', ''[[The Killing Fields (film)|The Killing Fields]]'', and ''[[The Mission (1986 film)|The Mission]]'' are among his credits – and a film director for ''[[A World Apart (1988 film)|A World Apart]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theasc.com/ac_magazine/February2010/ChrisMenges/page1.php|title=Artistry and Conscience|work=The ASC – American Cinematographer|first=Mark|last=Hope-Jones|date=February 2010|access-date=30 March 2013}}</ref>
