- The New Zealand programme purchasers rejected this story in late 1970. The reason for the rejection is not known; but it has been suggested, given that the New Zealand government was at the time having negotiations with British Petroleum (BP) to exploit a newly-discovered field of natural gas in the Tasman Sea, that the broadcaster thought it unwise to screen a serial featuring sea monsters attacking a gas platform...
- Significantly, Nigeria did not screen this story either. 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 film can of a "Cutting Copy" of part six was found in 1988 (along with four episodes of The Ice Warriors), but it actually contained something else. The exact origin of the (missing) "Cutting Copy" print is unclear. But based on the style of and text layout on the label, we can probably rule out it having been returned from any of the countries in Australasia.
- See also the Troughton Junkings page.
