3 unusual facts about Big Ben Strikes Again


Big Ben Strikes Again

However, the chimes issuing directly from the Big Ben were delayed due to the distance travelled, so the "thirteenth" chime was a repeat of the twelfth that Macey heard just before over the radio.

When a digitally-remastered re-run of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons began in the United Kingdom in September 2001, "Big Ben Strikes Again" was originally going to be broadcast as the third episode, but was postponed from its intended BBC Two transmission date due to parallels between the plot, with its depiction of the threat posed by an atomic device, and the September 11 attacks which occurred the same month.

Macey, who was knocked unconscious during the journey and does not know his location, awakes in time to hear Big Ben strike midnight both through the air and over his radio, but hears thirteen chimes instead of twelve.
