X-06: FUTURESPY

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!

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!

How would Patrick McGoohan have done a "Christmas Special" of the Prisoner? Probably not like this, but you get the idea of what I was aiming for. The episode is available from places that do podcasts , or directly below. Yes, I know the first of December is far too early for Christmas stuff (but my neighbours have their decorations out - so what do I know) but to give this episode as much of a chance of picking up listeners typing "Christmas" into their search bar, I wanted to bring this out a little early.
