Watch the TV show that never existed!


"Whilst I've done a little writing and a tiny bit of animation in the past, in order to "resurrect" X-06: FUTURESPY, in the last few months I've had to become a producer, scriptwriter, actor, sound effects guy (making whooshing noises with my spit, mainly) editor and distributer. I've developed a new-found respect for YouTubers creating "content" - it is bloody hard work, made all the more painful when you release something, and it only gets a handful of views. Or one, as one video got.

Why do it then? It isn't to sell books; I thank those of you who got a copy. I want to share this silly thing I've made with people. I want to honour my TV heroes. I wanted to get off my butt and make something - blame Nebula-75 for providing inspiration for that. Also, I want to try and get some return on decades of sitting in from of the telly watching Patrick McGoohan or Scott Tracy, or Illya Kuryakin..."

Here's the final product then - the penultimate episode of X-06: FUTURESPY beaming to you from an alternate 1965 - in full colour. Try to accept my "acting" for what it is... Avert your eyes when characters walk in such an odd manner... Ignore the rubbish bits... Maybe you'll find something in it you like?"

X-06 is being reactivated - and rebooted?

X-06: FUTURESPY returns on Friday 19th April in a special episode. X-06 has been reactivated, and also rebooted -There will be some changes! By Series Creator James Baxter The X-06: FUTURESPY podcast has been around for quite some time, and you can check out the older episodes here starting with  Series 1 . The latest series, starting this week with an episode called 'The Brain Centre', comes with a few improvements which I hope will meet with the approval of long-term fans. Move to Full-Cast Previously, the show has had only one voice (with a few minor exceptions), with me playing multiple roles in each story and stretching my ability to do accents beyond the limit! I was constantly finding ways to not feature characters whose voice I couldn’t approximate – And it was all getting a bit ridiculous, never hearing any women! I finally gathered enough confidence to ask if others wanted to be involved, and I was taken aback by the quantity and quality of folks wanting to take a rol...

Listen to the older episodes while you still can!

A new episode of the X-06: FUTURESPY podcast blasts off later this month. There's just time to catch up on the series so far, but do it quickly as the older episodes will soon 'disappear' for a while to ensure the focus is on the new... The earlier episodes will be permanently available within these pages (Start here ) and can also be found on YouTube. While it may seem counterproductive not to make all episodes easily available, this is being done to try and create demand, to encourage new subscribers who didn't gel with the early episodes, and to not confuse new listeners who may be expecting a full cast production. All episodes will be returned to the feed eventually. Trailer - Music by Mister Brown. Quotes are from an itunes review
