Thunderbirds are Go! - The Tivoli Theatre

Dee Anderson – Growing up with Thunderbirds

As one of Britain’s best-loved sci-fi series, Thunderbids was loved by millions. It revolutionised television with groundbreaking supermarionation puppetry and jaw-dropping miniature special effects. Audiences were hooked by high-stakes rescue missions, unforgettable futuristic vehicles like Thunderbird 2 and Barry Gray’s iconic score.

Dee Anderson was at the heart of it – and is the only person on earth who can say this: ‘Lady Penelope was my mum.’ As the daughter of Sylvia and Gerry Anderson, Dee Anderson, lived and breathed the magic of Thunderbirds as a child. She saw how Thunderbirds’ unmatched sense of heroic scale and futuristic wonder captivated generations worldwide.

And now she’s paying a heartfelt tribute to the boundless imagination and thrilling adventures that defined a generation. Gerry and Sylvia’s extraordinary legacy will come to life on stage like never before. It promises to be FAB.
