Series 3

 Series 3 of X-06: FUTURESPY


The Gerry and Sylvia Anderson influences are strong in this season, with cameos from characters who are vocally rather similar to Phones (Stingray) and Brains (Thunderbirds). 'Mission to J7' is very strongly inspired by Fireball XL5, which I was greatly enjoying during it's re-run by Talking Pictures TV in the United Kingdom.
The final episode of the series - a Christmas special - is rather unusual and sets up some themes I'd like to return to one day - X-06's frequent brainwipes by his employers. It's my favourite episode of the series, but I also like 'New Rules' due to X-06's relationship with his new boss, Commander Sinclair.

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
