TERRAHAWKS REUNION: ANDERCON GUESTS 3

The Terrahawks reunion featured no less than eleven guests on stage, so much so that as I spent so much time taking snaps I more or less missed most of what they talked about.


I did catch Jeremy Hitchen doing his Jack Nicholson impression, a variation of which was chosen for the voice of Tiger Ninestein.


Robbie (Ben) Stevens did his gurgling vocalisation of Yung Star.


Strangely enough, I don’t recall Denice Bryer doing a Zelda cackle.


Other guests from the show were puppeteer, Judy Preece,


and Gary Tomkins, the Terrahawks art director.


Peter Holmes is a name I do recall from earlier days. Apart from Terrahawks, he is credited as props master on Anderson series Joe 90 and Thunderbird 6.



Steve Begg has made quite a name for himself in the area of special effects thesedays but when he was just starting out  he was thrown in at the deep end on Terrahawks.


Here's Steve( pictured left )with another of the effects team, John Lee.

At the end of this session Jamie Anderson brought on special guest, Nicholas Briggs to reveal that Big Finish would be producing new audio adventures of Terrahawks using the original cast.

Next up - Taking a break from the Main Hall I have a wander into the dealers' room.

  1. Terrahawks to Dick Spanner? Not exactly a career progression, more a crash and burn. DS made Terrahawks look like a multi million dollar epic. What was Anderson thinking?

  2. It might not be Shakespeare but it was still work, Bill.
