Trade Mark

Famous for his shows which employ "Supermarionation" - marionettes with control wires connected to interior mechanisms that control facial features and other functions of the puppets. However, since this kind of puppetry makes it difficult to depict them walking realistically, his shows are usually science fiction series that emphasize the characters operating futuristic vehicles.

Trivia

Father of Jamie Anderson.

He was awarded the M.B.E. (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 2001.

Anderson's ancestral (from the Russian-Polish border) name was Bieloglovski. This was changed to "Abrahams" by a British immigration official in 1895. His mother, Deborah, changed it to "Anderson" because she liked the sound of it.

His film career started as a teenager under George Pearson at the Colonial Film Unit.

Personal Quotes

The real tragedy of my life is that my son, Jamie, is a "Doctor Who" (1963) fan.
