Welcome to Wanted.

The British Secret Service was founded in the early 1900s, where its main concentration was focused on the activities of the imperial German government.

The Bureau was initially split into naval and army sections, which over time specialised in foreign target espionage and internal counter-espionage.

Prior to the beginning of World War I, due to a number of administrative changes, the Home Section became known as Directorate of Military Intelligence Section 5, and of course its abbreviation MI5.

Later on down the track, the Foreign Naval Section of the service was to become known as MI6, of course made famous by British spy Commander James Bond 007.

The headquarters for the British Secret Service is located in the heart of London.

It's situated right on the banks of the River Thames.

Other than its imposing size, it's a very unassuming building and it's situated almost 300 kilometres away from a small channel island known as Guernsey.

And Guernsey in 1968 was the birthplace of Annie Macron.

She was born into a family that had no real government ties, and in fact, quite the opposite, as she had journalists in her family.

And little did you know how much of an impact that would have on you in later life.

Annie would end up gaining a very rich education through her high school and would in fact win a scholarship to attend the prestigious Cambridge University.

It's a gateway into the British establishment, with many high-profile individuals having been educated here, in fact many spies having their start at Cambridge.

The likes of Sir Isaac Newton, Sir David Attenborough, Stephen Hawkins and even King Charles himself have all been alumni of Cambridge University.

And it was while studying here that Annie would get her first contact from the world of espionage.

You know, going there, obviously, as you said, it's kind of a golden ticket.

You know, the world sort of opens up to you.

There's lots of connections of people that go there.

Did you have any aspirations of what you thought you might want to do?

Because he desperately wanted to hear what that conversation, how that conversation went.
