Adrian Anscombe

Adrian Anscombe has been a part of Edward Thomas' art department at the BBC Wales DWU studios since Rose. He has served in a variety of capacities on Doctor Who itself, all having to do with props. While he has occasionally been credited as a standby propsman, and props buyer, he quickly established himself as a senior member of the props team and has since about the midway point of series 1, most often been credited as the (chief) property master. He also served in this capacity for the first episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures. His latest work on Doctor Who was its most recent episode, Before the Flood.

He also contributed to the first two series of Torchwood, but here he was variously a set decorator and art department manager.

Anscombe's career began in about 2001. He worked with props on a few one-off tele-movies before being employed by Ed Thomas. His work in the Doctor Who universe is, as of 2010, the most notable part of his work history.
