Bruce Grenville
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruce Grenville (Born 1950 in New Zealand), is a New Zealand anarchist, film buff and producer of artistamps.
In the 1970s and 1980s he rose to notoriety for a hoax involving the fabrication of the Utopian Sultanate State of Oecussi-Ambeno, located as an exclave on the Island of Timor, with himself as the self-proclaimed Sultan.
He has been producing artistamps for the state of Oecussi-Ambeno since 1968.
In January 1999, he was noted for the discovery of a long missing 1967 original episode of the BBC television series Doctor Who, discovered in a garage sale in Napier; the episode has since been verified by BBC historians as genuine.
