Twenty-first Century heroes STEVE ZODIAC, TROY TEMPEST, CAPTAIN SCARLET,
and JOE 90 all bear Sylvia’s hallmark for creating appealing and extraordinary characters. 

Most famously of all, she fashioned the popular TRACY family for the award-winning
series THUNDERBIRDS together with her most iconic character, the elegant, charming
and deadly dangerous super-agent LADY PENELOPE - for whom she also supplied that
unforgettably aristocratic voice.

New worlds of live action adventure followed, with the launch of futuristic alien
invasion UFO and the mind-stretching voyages of Moonbase Alpha in SPACE 1999,
both now recognised as outstanding achievements in science fiction television
production.

In the 1980’s Sylvia began a new role at the forefront of transatlantic film and
television production as the UK’s representative for America’s leading cable TV
channel Home Box Office (HBO) with responsibility for developing new production
ideas and talent. 

It was during this time that her programmes enjoyed a spectacular return to popularity
with repeat transmissions, best-selling toys and DVD releases, culminating in the
Hollywood big screen live-action revival of THUNDERBIRDS and even a highly prized
accolade of an appearance on the cult comedy ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS –
an appropriate description for Sylvia Anderson’s remarkable contribution to popular
entertainment.

FAB!

Sylvia Anderson
