Born Into Thunderbirds. Built Her Own Life. Meet Dee Anderson | S02 Ep05

Welcome to The Gen-X-Perience Podcast,  where nostalgia meets now!

Stacey Jackson and Roy Basnett welcome Dee Anderson to Mayfair Studio for a funny, uplifting and wonderfully honest conversation about growing up with Thunderbirds - and finding the courage to create a life entirely her own.

As the daughter of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, Dee grew up surrounded by the creative world behind Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and Space: 1999. But this episode is about far more than an extraordinary childhood.

Dee shares how she stepped away from the path that others may have expected her to follow, broke through barriers and built her own career in music, acting and voice artistry. It is a conversation about identity, resilience, ambition, family legacy and refusing to be limited by the role people think you should play.

There is also plenty of love for Lady Penelope. Dee’s mother, Sylvia Anderson, created and originally voiced the iconic character, while Dee has continued that connection by voicing Lady Penelope herself.

A warm, inspiring and very funny episode for fans of Thunderbirds, Lady Penelope, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, classic British television, women making their own way, Gen X nostalgia and unforgettable behind-the-scenes stories.

Dee is currently touring with her live show, Growing Up with Thunderbirds. Visit deeanderson.co.uk for show information and current dates.
