There must be something about Splinter Cell in the air at the minute, the people are demanding more Sam Fisher, and by Jove, they are going to get it. A new audio adaptation officially titled Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Firewall is imminent and will begin airing on BBC Radio 4 on 2nd December, and every Friday after at 2.15 pm, running for 30 minutes apiece.
Starring Andonis Anthony as Sam Fisher, a veteran of BBC Radio 4's long-running rural drama The Archers, and Daisy Head as his daughter Sarah, the plot will revolve around Fisher recruiting and training the next generation of Fourth Echelon agents.
In other Splinter Cell news, we recently got to see concept for the upcoming remake of the original game and learned that it would be possible to play the game entirely without killing anyone. In case that wasn't enough for you, there is even an animated series in the works at Netflix.
What do you think of this imminent radio adaptation of Splinter Cell? Will you be tuning in for some high-stakes stealth action in audio form? Listen closely to every last word in the comments section below.

The least expected article to be posted this year goes to..
Better not interrupt the archers, Jethros pumpkins are coming on a treat this year
I read one of the Splinter Cell novels this year and it was not good, so I wouldn't expect too much here.
Not really much of a surprise, we were all expecting this, it was inevitable, only a matter of patience and a little passing of time until this was bound to seep unceremoniously, with little fanfare, but much excitement, into our ear holes.
I guess I've watched too much porn, man... That title...
That's the strangest and most unexpected news of the year for me!
Living in the U.K. the last few years have got us used to seeing news articles that make you go ‘huh…..wait what?!’
But this still stands out as an odd one.
I never listened to it, but I can imagine this won't be a million miles away from the BBC radio adaptation of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, which I'm told is highly lauded. I'll keep an open mind for this.
@Scarko To be fair, the novels are based on the games and not the other way round. Tom Clancy had very little to do with the creation of the character and the series.
