She Had the Legacy. She Made the Life. Meet Dee Anderson | S02E05

🎧 Welcome to The Gen-X-Perience Podcast - where nostalgia meets now! This week, Stacey Jackson ‪@staerox_official‬ and Roy Basnett are joined in person at Mayfair Studio by the fabulous Dee Anderson: singer, actress, voice artist, proud glam-ma and daughter of Thunderbirds creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson ‪@GerryAndersonTV‬. Dee grew up surrounded by one of Britain’s most iconic creative legacies - Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, Space: 1999 and the world of Supermarionation. But this is not simply a story about growing up with famous parents. It is the story of a woman who refused to stay inside the path laid out for her. Dee talks openly about breaking through barriers, doing more than was expected of her and carving out her own career, voice and identity - while still celebrating the extraordinary imagination, glamour and cultural impact of the Anderson family legacy. Of course, there is also plenty of Lady Penelope. Dee’s mother, Sylvia Anderson, created and originally voiced the iconic character, and Dee herself has carried that glamorous legacy forward by voicing Lady Penelope too. Roy’s affectionate reference to that unmistakably glamorous Lady Penelope voice has everyone in the studio laughing. Expect warmth, brilliant stories, nostalgia, humour, resilience and plenty of F.A.B. moments.
