Production[]
Unlike most Big Finish Productions, each story of this series was recorded live in a single take, with the sound effects and music being played into the studio as the actors were performing. A small audience was present for the live recording of Scorpius, but located in a separate room where they could not see the actors - Nicholas Briggs recalls that afterwards, a member of the audience said that they would have thought they were listening to a pre-recorded CD, if it wasn't for the fact that the speakers were also playing the audio from Nicholas's director cues.
In the behind the scenes feature included in the 2016 rerelease of the Cyberman series, two reasons were given for the use of live recording: firstly, it was thought that they would not have enough time to do all the editing and post-production necessary to finish the series before release. Secondly, Nicholas Briggs felt like he had been directing for Big Finish for a long time at this point, and wanted to try something new and different.
