7TV Campaign: Across The Pond...

Just time before nipping off to tonight's instalment of the 7TV campaign to bring you SpyForce UK's version of the events that transpired on 25th November.  Over to you, Major...

As the producers of SPYFORCE UK had promised, it did not show them as superhuman or always victorious. A reduced cast were seen in the first episode: Major John Erskine MC (SPYFORCE UK's leader, the programme's focus), Jill Steward (lovely in her Viking re-enactment clothes), Mike French (Technician and boffin) and finally Private Wheeler (their driver with his trusty Landrover).

 

SPYFORCE UK was up against a crafty and nefarious group led by the S.P.A.C.E Man, made up of various American renegades and possible Soviet Spymasters plus robots.

As in any adventure, luck played a major part. In this episode all the luck went with the S.P.A.C.E Man.  Nefarious VOSTOK had stolen a C-130 containing parts of a new third stage booster vital to NASA’s Mars Mission. Whilst the plane had been forced down it had managed to dump its cargo of parts and technical reports across an abandoned industrial complex in Florida. Both the S.P.A.C.E Man team and SPYFORCE UK raced to the location. As luck had it, the S.P.A.C.E Man was nearer and able to create a cordon around the industrial complex. SPYFORCE UK which had been stationed in Belize took longer to reach the industrial complex. Although they had their trusty Landrover, the S.P.A.C.E Man had managed to quickly secure two parts and its associated paperwork.

Whilst Major John Erskine made a rush to gain one part, the S.P.A.C.E Man group infilitrated and stole the part before Erskine could get there.  All was not lost as Jill Steward dived out of the Landrover and snatched another component elsewhere. After successfully obtaining yet another part, John Erskine and Private Wheeler fell into a chemical tank which luckily only had dirty water in it.  This distraction left the route open for John RedStone to race for and leap over a fence to secure the final piece.  

After the show had finished it was possible to see the implications of the first episode and to learn the necessary lessons to improve. Despite the episode ending with the US team victorious, SPYFORCE UK was seen to be “riding a crest of a wave” and hopes are high that ratings will soar after the next episode is broadcast.  SPYFORCE UK earned enough production kudos to gain MOD assistance with extras, precise details of which will be revealed in future episodes!
