    Default BF Terrahawks

    Big Finish are going Terrahawks mad! It's time for the return of Terrahawks, those puppets that were in a show in the 80's with evil Zelda and some spaceships, plus some small droids that are sort of spheres except when they sit on little turrets and these cubes that in one episode all joined together into a really big gun.

    The entire original Terracast are on board the Big Finish Terrahacks are hard at work preparing scripts - Terrahawks are go... sorry, Anything can happen in the next half hour... no?... This is the voice of the Terrahawks... damn it! Anyway, they're back for more games of noughts and crosses in 2015!

    I bet Nick Briggs plays the Windsor Davies part.

    Anne "Kate Kestrel" Ridler died 3 years ago so I wonder who'll play her parts.Probably Beth Chalmers or India Fisher.

    Or Nick Briggs.

    I'm available to play Windsor's part. I can mispronounce Dix-Hewitt with the best of them!

    Just listened to the Zelda Christmas reading. Loved the bit about Stew Dapples wetting himself! Really looking forward to this release now

    Synopsis

    “Terrahawks, stay on this channel…”

    Back in action after thirty years comes Terrahawks, the fondly remembered action adventure comedy originally brought to you by the men who created Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Dick Spanner.

    In the not too distant future, the Earth finds itself under constant threat from Zelda, a blood-thirsty android who, along with her fiendish family and monstrous creations, has established a base on Mars. The only thing standing between this evil queen and her quest for the ultimate annihilation of mankind are the Terrahawks – an intrepid band of heroes led by the stern but fair clone, Doctor Tiger Ninestein.

    After a considerable period of inaction, the Terrahawks once again find themselves called into action when Zelda initiates a brand new campaign of destruction and devastation. Facing up against terrifying time travellers, fraudulent financial fiascos, sickening stand-ups, and deadly doppelgangers – their new adventures could prove to be the Terrahawks’ most challenging missions to date!

    Eight episodes on four CDs, with a bonus, behind-the-scenes CD featuring interviews with the cast and crew.

    PLUS! Bonus archive promotional material from the original TV series launch available as a PDF for download.

    1: The Price is Right by Jamie Anderson

    With the prospect of budget cuts and a spot inspection looming over their head, the Terrahawks intend to showcase themselves to the best of their ability. A surprise attack from Zelda, however, gives them a bigger chance to demonstrate their worth than originally bargained for.

    2: Deadly Departed by Stephen La Rivière and Andrew T. Smith

    After an epic battle, it appears that Zelda has finally shuffled of her mortal coil, but when their beloved matriarch’s will is read her android family is disgusted to discover that she has left everything to Ninestein. In retaliation, they organise a funeral the likes of which has never been seen.


    3: A Clone of My Own by Andrew T. Smith and Stephen La Rivière
    When his clones begin to fall foul of mysterious circumstances, Ninestein is forced to face some difficult home truths.

    4: Clubbed to Death by Stephen La Rivière and Andrew T. Smith with Jamie Anderson

    A night on the town turns deadly for the Terrahawks when the desperate proprietor of a hot new club just so happens to be in serious debt with Zelda’s new loan shark venture.

    5: No Laughing Matter by Terry Adlam

    Zelda intends to use her latest creation - Cy Splitter, the universe's funniest cyborg - to leave her enemies helpless with laughter. The Terrahawks only hope is that Twostein can play that game.

    6: Timesplit by Chris Dale

    Past, present and futures collide when an audacious plan by Zelda's Time Lord leads to the capture of one of the Terrahawks. Zelda is thrilled, but will the resulting temporal instability unravel the fabric of space and time?

    7: 101 Seed by Gerry Anderson, adapted by Jamie Anderson

    Zelda conspires to help the Terrahawks enter the record books when a seed of destruction is sewn on Hiro’s happy birthday.

    8: Into the Breach by Mark Woollard

    The Zeroids face termination when Ninestein and Hiro roll out their newest creation - the Cyberzoids. But will these super-soldiers be enough to fend off a direct attack on Hawknest from Zelda's mothership?

    Directed By: Jamie Anderson

    I love the plots:
    • A night on the town turns deadly for the Terrahawks when the desperate proprietor of a hot new club just so happens to be in serious debt with Zelda’s new loan shark venture.
    • Zelda intends to use her latest creation - Cy Splitter, the universe's funniest cyborg - to leave her enemies helpless with laughter.

    The first episode is FREE FREE FREE! And do you know what, it's rather good. Considering that Denise Bryer is 87, her Zelda & Mary are the voices that have really stood the test of time (okay Young Star sounds good too!) Whoever is voicing Sgt. Major Zero needs praise too. Of course he's not going to be on a par with Windsor Davies, but it's a very valiant attempt. Great to hear the original "bouncing zeroids" SFX! The story was really much in keeping with the original series (was this one of the stories mooted for Series 3??) Highly recommended - oh and Stu Dapples is back too!

    The acting was always a bit wooden wasn't it?

    "Never send an Earth Scum to do an Android's work"

    Just listened to "A Clone of my Own" in which Evil Zelda starts to bump off Ninestein's "clone brothers". Mr Eightstein sounded very intriguing. He had a British accent and wore a bowler I love these stories, they're really inventive and hilarious in places. The QueasyJet airline company made me chortle. Denise Bryer seems to be having a ball (or should that be zeroid) re-creating Zelda.
