Warning: top secret! (Original title: Mission Top Secret ) is an Australian youth and action series . After a pilot film from 1990 ( The Eye of Salomon ), two seasons with six episodes of 85 minutes each were created in 1992/93 and 1995. There is also an alternative version in which each episode consists of four parts of 25 minutes each, each of which also includes a review of the last episode and a preview of the next episode. The pilot film was broadcast in four parts from November 1992 and has not yet been repeated. The other episodes ran several times in both versions in Germany from October 1994. The series can currently no longer be seen on ARD , as the broadcasting rights have expired in the meantime (first season: end of 2012; second season: end of 2007). The first season was released on DVD on April 8, 2016.
action
In the pilot film, the young Spaniard Pedro stumbled upon a highly computerized secret center, the Centauri headquarters, while hiking through Australia. In the following he fights with a team against the arch villain Neville Savage, who will also be the opponent of the Centauri children in the further episodes.
The first season is about the siblings Albert and Victoria Wiggins, whose parents were killed and who had to leave an orphanage in Sydney because of behavior problems , whereupon they were adopted by their uncle Sir Joshua Cranberry. Cranberry is an inventor and tinkerer who houses a super computer in the basement of his farm away from Sydney. Due to a technical accident, this becomes the center of the Centauri network, a global network of children communicating with each other. The name Centauri is derived from the constellation in which the telecommunications satellite used was located at the time, Alpha Centauri .
From now on, Centauri prevents the arch villain Nevill Savage from carrying out his dark machinations, usually for his own enrichment, to success. For example, Centauri initially prevents Savage from getting important data from the Astrotel Spacelab project, on which the late father of Victoria and Albert worked. The Centauri kids then travel around the world, for example to Great Britain, Germany, Spain and South Africa, where they always prove themselves in a race with Savage. They are supported in this by the other members of the Centauri network and by the headquarters in Australia.
In the second season, Albert, Victoria and the computer specialist Jemma Snipe, who had taken care of the headquarters, are no longer mentioned. In their place are Spike Baxter, who followed Albert and Victoria from the orphanage at the beginning of the series, Sandy Weston, who was initially smuggled into the Centauri network by Savage as a spy at the end of the first season, and the siblings Kat and David Fowler, whose mother lives and works as a housekeeper on the farm.
