*It was reported in '''DWM''' issue #114 (July 1986) that the serial aired in [[Canada]] as a compilation called "The Hunter". 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 Hand of Fear]] and [[The Sun Makers]].)
