BBC Two repeated the series in digitally-remastered form in the autumn of 2001 . After the September 11 attacks , the episode order was re-arranged : the second episode , " Winged Assassin " ( in which the Mysterons destroy an airliner and re-create it as a weapon ) , and the third , " Big Ben Strikes Again " ( in which London is threatened by a hi-jacked nuclear device ) , were postponed due to perceived similarities between the storylines and real-world events . In the week after the attacks , distributor Carlton Communications briefly took down the '' Captain Scarlet '' pages on its website
