 The first serial is identified in ''El Mercurio'' as [[The Invasion of Time]], but five days later, [[The Android Invasion]] is billed for the next four dates, which means either the series started two days earlier without being billed in the newspaper, for two of the dates two episodes of [[The Invasion of Time]] aired back to back, or that particular 6-parter was actually replaced by a 4-parter.

 '''A SALE OF TWO CHILES??'''
-[[BBC Records]] have '''two''' separate sales of the same twelve stories recorded for Chile: the twelve stories were first "sold" by '''22 October 1968''', and again by '''27 May 1969'''. The second sales date certainly corresponds with the '''5 January 1969''' to '''15 March 1970''' Santiago screenings, but one can see, at a stretch, how the first sales date could also apply to those airdates, if the rights were paid for in advance of screening.

 There was certainly no other airdates on Canal 13 found before or after the ones noted. But since there were regional screenings of the Tom Baker stories, on Santiago's Canal 13 and again on Canal 5 in Concepción, it is entirely possible that the Hartnells also had regional screenings, with each of the two recorded sales being for one of the regions – i.e. Universidad Católica bought the rights for just one screening in one region, then decided later to purchase a second set of rights for another region.

 Interestingly, the "second" sale to Chile is dated the same as the "Cancelled" sale to [[Dominican Republic]]: '''27 May 1969'''. This can't be a coincidence. What may have happened was Chile and Dominican Republic both purchased the series at roughly the same time, and as such the regional fees payable were scaled accordingly, with the second purchaser paying a slightly lower rate than the first purchaser. But when Dominican Republic cancelled its purchase, Chile had to pay the full cost, and the second of the two "sales" is simply Chile's payment of the "cancelled" balance.
 ====Fate of the Prints?====
-Chile was the '''last''' country to air William Hartnell episodes of '''Doctor Who''' in [[Spanish]]. It's possible that the [[Spanish]] prints held by the BBC in the late 1970s were returned from Chile in 1970...
+The prints were probably bicycled to [[Costa Rica]], where they aired from '''June 1971'''. (It's possible the films went to [[Dominican Republic]] first, but were sent on to [[Costa Rica]] unaired after the sale had been "cancelled".)
