 [[Jamaica]] had started screening the series a month earlier, and since both countries were customers of the programme distributor '''[[TIE Ltd|Television International Enterprises Limited / TIE (Programmes) Ltd]]''', it’s more than likely that Barbados was sent the same set of prints for the first twelve serials that were used in [[Jamaica]] (and which had previously been screened in [[Trinidad & Tobago]] and [[Bermuda]]).

 As noted below and illustrated in the October 1967 newspaper clipping above right, the sale of the final 36 episodes – which would be [[Galaxy 4]] to [[The Smugglers]] -- was made at some point between 26 May and 11 August 1967. Of note, the article does not mention [[TIE Ltd]], so it's possible that the distributor was not involved in the sale of that final package.
