Story
Secret Agent X2 (in other words Captain Neddie Seagoon) is called to MI5 and told that the Russians have perfected a time machine, which they can go forward into the future and, once there, build planes that travel faster than the speed of light. The Russian Intelligence has a deadly counter-spy — The Silent Bugler. This is the story of Seagoon's mission, ends successfully in the Dresden Opera House.
Technical
Originally recorded on T1/AG/4597 (Agfa FR tape stock at 15 ips ¼" tape recorded at St. Hilda's, Maida Vale). This tape survived almost intact at TS but was cut about in the making of the simulated stereo PotG issue. A cover copy made as part of the same process emerged from a wall cavity in Kensington House in 1986, and this has been used to repair the original recording.
