- New Zealand sent its film prints of this serial to Singapore on 20 September 1972.
- A print of episode four was found in the ABC's film store in 1984. The print was missing the "NEXT EPISODE HOLIDAY FOR THE DOCTOR"' caption. Since New Zealand was the only country to screen The Celestial Toymaker and The Savages, but not The Gunfighters, it is logical that the excision was made in New Zealand. However, the NZ print was sent to Singapore in September 1972 - so how did it end up in the ABC film store? It is possible that Singapore returned the print to Australia - in error? (Otherwise, why did they not send any others at the same time?)
- The New Zealand censors requested removal of Cyril's line "-- or you will be killed". The surviving print does not exhibit this censor cut. So, maybe this isn't the New Zealand / Singapore print after all! Or was the censor cut carefully spliced back in? Maybe it was never removed in the first place? Mysteries, mysteries, mysteries...
