- In May 1968, a set of audition prints of this serial was sent to ZDF in Germany, but the offer of the series was given a unanimous thumbs down and "rejected".
- The New Zealand censors viewed the films in October and November 1970, but awarded the serial with a "Y" classification. The serial did not screen. Significantly, Nigeria did not screen this story either - was there a connection? Did / could Nigeria only buy the same serials that the NZBC had?
- The sale to Gibraltar was actually "back-catalogue", as they had already started screening Jon Pertwee stories by this time.
- The ABC in Australia returned its prints to the BBC on 4 June 1975.
- See also the Troughton Junkings page.
- Parts 1,4,5,6 of the serial were recovered from BBC Enterprises in 1988. The exact origin of these "Cutting Copy" prints is unclear. But based on the style of and text layout on the labels (see The Moonbase for comparison) we can probably rule out these being returned from any of the countries in Australasia. (See also Fury from the Deep.)
- A popular thought is that the "Cutting Copies" were struck in order to remove any potential faults in the telerecordings: the original video tapes may have had drop-out or other artefacts in them which were transferred onto the film during the telerecording process. Any such faults could then be removed from the telerecording negatives prior to the positives being struck. But until such time that a direct comparison between the film prints and an off-air audio recording can be done, it is currently unknown whether any footage is missing from the film prints. (It is known that the original telerecording of The Keys of Marinus part two was edited in this way prior to any overseas copies being made, a fact that was not realised until a comparison was made with an off-air audio recording.)
