- New Zealand sent its prints to Denmark in 1968, but the serial did not play there.
- It has been reported that Cyprus sent its prints to Uganda - and yet, Uganda screened the serial two months before Cyprus! Or was Uganda merely an intermediary in the bicycling process, receiving and sending on the films without screening them? (See Bicycling Chains for more on this...)
- The serial was one of just six Hartnells still being offered for sale in 1974. As noted under The Web Planet, it appears that the BBC may have edited the serial's conclusion to reflect the fact that the next serial, Marco Polo, was not available. (See The Web Planet for more...)
- 16mm prints of both episodes were found in the possession of a UK film collector in 1982; he had owned them for several years. It's not known what format these are -- Suppressed or Stored field -- and as such it is not possible to determine their origin.
