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! 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!

 A bonus Podcast Extra - A reading from the short story 'Flying Colours', from the extremely rare 1968 FUTURESPY annual - is out now, as a special treat for Christmas. You can listen on your podcast provider , or read each page individually below.

You can now listen to the final episode of Series 3 of X-06: FUTURESPY - and you may detect a Christmas theme... Christmas in Paris offers the ex-secret agent the chance to find himself, and maybe even a little romance. But they don't just let spies resign and walk away, do they? X-06 better watch out. Santa Claus is coming to town. It's a complicated episode, this one - at least it was for me to plot it - and very much inspired by the Prisoner. 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.
