The countdown to the millennium begins, New dangers face Brigadier
Winifred Bambera, Sergeant Jean-Paul Savarin and Dr Louise Rix –
some manmade, some uncanny, and some from beyond this world. To
defeat them they must stand together… or there’ll be no
tomorrow. 1. The Frequency by Tajinder Singh Hayer. UNIT has been
invited to take part in the testing of a top-secret US Air Force
project designed to make military groups function better as a team;
the ‘Hoplite Frequency’. However, the implications of this
powerful mind-altering technology make Sergeant Savarin
uncomfortable. Will Bambera heed the misgivings of her loyal Number
Two, or take the charismatic Colonel Hagen up on his offer and
choose to embrace the Frequency? 2. Haunt by Lizzie Hopley. Bambera
joins Rix on an excursion up north to investigate strange goings on
at the abandoned Greensands Hotel. Are local legends true that the
hotel is haunted by a murderous bogeyman known as Baghead, or is
there a more down-to-earth explanation? The only way to uncover the
truth is to stay in the hotel overnight, but their digging into the
building’s past has awoken something that would have been better
left alone. 3. The Last Line of Defence by Robert Valentine. With
the civil war in Valge Maja threatening to spark an even greater
conflict, Bambera is put in charge of security at a secret
Millennium Eve peace conference to settle the matter. But as all of
Earth’s leaders gather to debate the future of humanity, dark
forces have conspired to ensure that this meeting will usher in a
terrifying New World Order – and with the clock ticking, who can
possibly stand in their way? CAST: Angela Bruce (Brigadier Winifred

This is a distinct new era for UNIT. Set in the late 1990s, the
Cold War is over and the geopolitical landscape is in flux.
Brigadier Bambera is deemed the right candidate to lead UNIT into
the 21st century. But in this shadowy, unpredictable world of
deadly threats and hidden enemies, Bambera and her new team -
including sarcastic second-in-command, Sergeant Jean-Paul Savarin
and tough scientific advisor, Dr Louise Rix - will need to prove
their mettle. The stakes are higher than ever. 1. Rogue State by
Robert Valentine In the war-torn republic of Valge Maja, Brigadier
Bambera is hot on the trail of arms-dealing terrorist Roman Krojac,
when she's ordered back to Geneva. Her old sponsor, Dame Lydia
Kingsley, offers her a job as the new head of UNIT. Reluctant to
accept, she nevertheless teams up with sarcastic UNIT officer
Sergeant Jean-Paul Savarin to prevent a monstrous Soviet-era weapon
from falling into Krojac's hands. 2. Time Flies by Alison Winter
Bambera and Savarin are summoned to a secretive genetic research
facility by Dr Louise Rix, UNIT's rebellious new scientific
adviser. Two scientists have vanished in mysterious circumstances,
and despite the assurances of the sinister Dr Grange, UNIT suspects
there's something very wrong with the centre's caterpillar
population. Can they survive the fruits of Dr Grange's experiments?
And will Savarin survive Bambera and Rix's rocky new relationship?
3. Dark Side of the Moon by Alfie Shaw A new British space station,
the Britannia, is due to be launched at the end of the week, but
Bambera, Rix and Savarin fear that some kind of psychic entity is
trying to sabotage it. Is it really the spirit of Helena McNamara,
deceased astronaut and old friend of Rix? And does it speak the
truth when it warns that something terrible is waiting for humanity
on the dark side of the moon? CAST: : Angela Bruce (Brigadier
Winifred Bambera), Alex Jordan (Sergeant Jean-Paul Savarin), Yemisi
Oyinloye (Dr Louise Rix), Silas Carson (Dr Winston Grange), Simone
Lahbib (Sylvia Brooks/DI Alison Lees), Simon Ludders (Dr

Michaels (Dr Megan Hollands), Wilf Scolding (Roman
Krojač/Professor Ian Fenning), Liz SutherlandLim (Dame Lydia
Kingsley), Homer Todiwala (Trooper 1/Astronaut 1/UNIT Medic),
