Forget Doctor Who, this is the one they really need Capaldi to do!

(As the self-proclaimed world’s greatest fan of The Time Tunnel, I do have some thoughts about this, but I’ll wait and see if a thread appears for the topic.)

:eyes::eyes: I have never heard of this series but for Seàn…

Also what’s with BF branching out so much lately? Is it too much to hope for more Omega Factor…? :thinking:

I don’t really understand what First Action Bureau is apart from being something to do with Gerry Anderson.

It was a new one for me. There was a Series 1 BF release, but that was JUNE '21.

It also didn’t show up on the “What’s New” section when I checked earlier this week.

I did some digging and it looks like series 1 is fully available as a podcast, seprate from Big Finish, on most podcast services and the official Gerry Anderson youtube channel

And it seems to feature Nicola Walker and Sacha Dhawan in its cast.

Looking at the Big Finish Summary (same as the IMDB one but with better spacing)

The First Action Bureau exists to protect the Earth - near-utopian by 2068 - from criminal elements before they get the chance to act. Using decades of ‘big data’ and globally connected quantum artificial intelligence, the Bureau is able to predict criminal activity before it occurs.

Nero Jones may be the best agent the Bureau has, but something strange is going on. Headaches and bizarre dreams are troubling this deadly assassin, and as her missions continue it becomes increasingly clear that all is not well… not just with her, but with the Bureau itself. But where do the lies end? And where does the truth begin?

Seems interesting

Thanks for that :slight_smile:

What I can’t work out is whether this is an existing Anderson IP from days past or something new that’s just being produced by the company in conjunction with BF.

Seems to be a new thunderbirds spinoff created in conjunction with BF

It sort of implies as much on the site, but I guess it doesn’t say explicitly
