Lost Future? A treasure from the FUTURESPY archives...

A treasure from the archives recently recovered: In 1967, the producers of X-06 FUTURESPY were asked to contribute a very short entry on the subject of space exploration for an educational LP record intended for school children.

The 'Who', 'What' and 'Why you should listen to...' of X-06 FUTURESPY!

Ghosts of Christmas Past

Christmas is always a busy time for X-06. Here's a reminder of some of his seasonal exploits, past and present. Operation Attenuate In the final episode of the first series, X-06 gives a traitor a second chance at Christmas. Red Alert! X-06 is called in to assist when British airspace is invaded in this silly You Tube video Should Auld Acquaintance In the latest episode, set over two Christmases, X-06 tackles a sinister Santa! X-06 Versus The Mince Spies The joke is so obvious it had to be done. Check out an Annual story that isn't meant to be taken too seriously. Christmas isn't a great time of year for everyone (it certainly wasn't for X-06!) so if you don't have a Merry one, we hope you have a quiet one. Thanks for supporting the show!
