Big Finish may be best known for their stories based on Doctor Who and its spin-offs, but the company has produced material from many different franchises, as well as some excellent originals. This week’s pair of free offerings come from the worlds of Gerry Anderson – in particular, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, the epic tale of Spectrum vs. the Mysterons that first hit screens 53 years ago.

These will be made available to download exclusively from the Big Finish web site’s Weekly Deals page at https://www.bigfinish.com/collections/v/weekly-deals.

These stories can be unlocked by anyone who has registered for a Big Finish account (which is free to create) and played on the Big Finish listening app (which is free to install). 

Each download will be available for one week only, and comes accompanied by a special discount offer on related titles, available as either downloads or collector’s edition CDs or box sets. 

This week there are two Weekly Freebies:

Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons: Spectrum File 1 (chapters 1-2) written by John Theydon and adapted by Jamie Anderson

A violent thunderstorm floods London. Florida is laid waste by hurricanes. Somehow the Mysterons are controlling the world’s weather, and only Spectrum can stop the devastation.

Captains Scarlet and Blue head into space aboard Fireball XL19 to destroy a weather-control satellite that has been taken over by the Mysterons – only to discover that the real cause of the destruction is much closer to home.

As Scarlet and Rhapsody Angel confront the mastermind behind the latest Mysteron attacks they discover the true scope of his plan, and if they cannot stop him then the Earth faces certain climatic catastrophe.

Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons: The Heart of New York written by Tony Barwick – from the 50th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set 

As the Mysterons threaten to destroy the “Heart of New York”, Captains Scarlet and Blue investigate the theft of Grade A Security documents from the Spectrum security vaults. The trio of thieves learn of Spectrum’s war with the Mysterons and decide to fake their own deaths to effect a daring robbery…

Big Finish listeners can also get up to 50% OFF Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons: Spectrum Files 1-3, available as a 5-disc CD deluxe slipcover book while stocks last, or as a download, at the Weekly Deals page.
