As previously announced, while the UK remains in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Big Finish is releasing free downloads of full-cast audio dramas – or #lockdownloads – for a limited time. 

Every Monday, a new story (or episode from a box set collection) can be downloaded for free exclusively from the Big Finish website’s Weekly Deals page.  

Each freebie 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). Accompanying each free release is a selection of discounts on related titles. 

This week’s #lockdownload is: 

Callan – Volume 1: File on a Deadly Deadshot  

Originally released in July 2018, File on a Deadly Deadshot is adapted by Peter Mitchell and directed by Ken Bentley. Starring Ben Miles as trained assassin David Callan with Frank Skinner as his friend, former cellmate and partner in crime Lonely, this devious drama takes us to the heart of high society with a murderer on the loose. 

With Lonely posing as his gentleman’s gentleman, the section’s top operative David Callan is sent to a country estate in Northumberland to infiltrate a rich men’s shooting party. One of his companions is an assassin but which one?  

High living and high stakes on the grouse moors as Callan attempts to work out which of the dead-shots is a man-hunter. 

Plus, for a limited time, Big Finish listeners can get up to 40% off Callan – Volume 1 and Callan – Volume 2. And for those who’d like to save more, there is also a bundle deal of 20% off Callan – Volumes 1-2.  

All deals are available as a collector’s edition CD box set and as a download. All the above offers can be accessed at the Big Finish Weekly Deals page and must end at 23:59 on 21 February 2021. 

Big Finish is currently operating a digital-first release schedule. The mail-out of collector’s edition CDs may be delayed due to factors beyond our control, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.
