Every large urban centre has its own Special Talents Response Team, a small cadre of… unusual personalities with unusual abilities.
Manchester’s is the infamous GOON SQUAD, a team that has been operating continuously since the 1940s. Based in the heart of the city, their brief is to deal with threats ranging from the slightly odd to the very strange indeed.
