He was born Cyril Nicholas Henty-Dodd in Lancashire. He changed his name, combining his son’s forename with the initial letter of his surname to become Simon Dee.

Dee… became a bus driver and lived in Winchester, Hants after his television career ended.

Now Dee’s time is up and his clipboard is interned in the TV vaults.
