| 1 | After serving in the Royal Air Force, his first civilian jobs included bouncer in a coffee bar, actor, photographic assistant to Balfour de Havilland (dismissed when he loaded the wrong film into the camera for a fashion shoot and none of the photos came out), builders' labourer, leaf-sweeper in Hyde Park, and vacuum cleaner salesman. |
| 2 | There was friction between Dee and David Frost, part-owner of London Weekend, after whose show Dee's was broadcast. Both were talk shows, and Frost thought that some of Dee's items would make the shows too similar. Dee felt that Frost was deliberately sabotaging his show. |
| 3 | After his media career was destroyed, he worked as a bus driver. |
| 4 | He took the name "Simon Dee" because he felt his birth name sounded too upper-class. |
| 5 | He joined BBC Radio 1 when it was launched in 1967. He got his big break on TV that same year. |
| 6 | According to actress Elizabeth Hurley, his "sixties grooviness" made him the inspiration for Mike Myers's Austin Powers character. |

| 8 | With Bunny he had a son and daughter, Simon Jr. and Domino. |
