 * This story was chosen by Time-Life Television to "test" the US market for '''Doctor Who''' before the major launch of the series during the Fall TV Season later in the year. The serial apparently aired in an omnibus "movie" format in [[WOR|New York]] in June 1978 but we cannot find any evidence of this. The story ''did'' however screen on '''24 July 1978''' on [[WPTV|WPTV, in West Palm Beach, Florida]]). With a positive response, Time-Life commenced their country-wide promotion of the new series...

−	*It was reported in '''DWM''' issue #114 (July 1986) that the serial aired in [[Canada]] as a compilation called "Eldrad Must Live". This cannot be, since the serial only ever aired episodically in [[Canada]], never as an omnibus. If the anecdote is in any way true, however, it may have been an omnibus that screened on one of the US PBS stations in a state that bordered with Canada. Also, it's doubtful the story would have a brand new opening sequence showing the alternative title; if anything, the other title was only published in a listings magazine rather than something seen on screen. (See also [[The Sontaran Experiment]] and [[The Sun Makers]].)
