"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Thunderbirds Are Go!"
In this unmissable episode of Chatterbox Redux, hosts Nick & Sue are joined by British television royalty: Dee Anderson. As the daughter of legendary creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, Dee provides an intimate, first-hand account of life inside the creative powerhouse that gave the world The Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, and Stingray.
From memories of her mother, Sylvia—the true inspiration and voice behind the iconic Lady Penelope—to the "Supermarionation" magic that defined a generation, Dee shares what it was really like growing up on film sets at Pinewood Studios.
As we approach the 60th Anniversary of Thunderbirds, Dee reveals the exciting global celebrations, her new memoir, and how the Tracy family’s missions of "International Rescue" continue to inspire fans today.
