X-06: FUTURESPY

 

An off-duty X-06 autographs copies of the book. Nice polo neck/jeans combination. I might try that some time.

 Some of you may remember or even own the FUTURESPY Annual, from which is this none-to-challenging board game. Can you get back to Earth with the secret papers?

 It is very vain of me but I couldn’t resist putting a draft copy of the forthcoming book on a shelf with its spiritual brothers and sisters. More details will follow soon. If this is of interest to you, please share and subscribe to this blog.

The declassification process continues but we’re reasonably confident the X-06: FUTURESPY book will be made available for your eyes only within a matter of weeks. I realise this is all a bit weird... a faked novelisation of three non-existent TV shows that were never transmitted because I only just thought it up this year... but I hope you find it was worth your time and attention.  I will say that if you are a fan of any (or all) of the following there is something especially for you in these stories: Thunderbirds Captain Scarlet Stingray Doctor Who The Prisoner Danger Man The Man From UNCLE ... basically everything broadcasted on the UK’s BBC2 in their early evening ‘cult tv’ slot during the 1990s plus an extra sprinkle of McGoohan!

 A couple of photos have emerged of X-06 in action, the exact episode these are from is unknown:

 From Total Cult magazine July 1997: (This is, of course, a fabrication!) Does anyone else miss Woolworths?

 In contrast to David Smellie’s review, young Sadie from Lancaster clearly enjoyed the show... perhaps a little too much.... from Girlie Weekly magazine:

Hard to believe, but not all contemporary reviews of X-06: FUTURESPY were favourable. It was especially disliked by TV critic David Smellie, who wrote about the show at least a couple of times in his column, ‘David Smellie on last nights telly’: Just goes to show that you can’t please everyone, especially grumpy old critics!

I thought it’d be fun to fake some historical documents -yes, I’m that kind of guy.... The ‘teleplays’ of these - entirely imaginary - adventures form the basis of the novelisation to be released within the next few weeks.  Would you have circled these in your TV guide?
