James Anderson is the younger son of the late Gerry Anderson - the man behind cult TV shows like Fireball XL5, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Space: 1999, and, of course, Thunderbirds.
After Abingdon and Oxford where he studied Physiological Sciences, he initially worked in Equestrian Reproduction for five years and then returned home to help look after his father as his Alzheimer's disease progressed. Jamie was able to work on some writing with him in his last year in 2012.
Jamie had always wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and now, as managing director of Anderson Entertainment, he is the man tasked with keeping the Gerry Anderson legacy alive as well as developing Gerry's unfinished works.
He writes, produces and directs for television, film, and radio including Doctor Who audio dramas for Big Finish productions.
My Moulsford days were great! My talents and interests were carefully nurtured by the wonderful teaching staff - from art and design to sporting endeavours, and from creative writing to the sciences. I'm very grateful for my time there, and will always look back with great fondness and happy memories!
