- The BBC sold the first five serials / 26 episodes as a package. The fact that this serial does not end with a link to the next story, The Aztecs, was probably deliberate, so should there be any country that did not purchase any further episodes -- such as was ultimately the case with Canada, Bermuda and Ghana -- the series would not end on an unresolved cliffhanger...
- Cyprus sent its prints to Hong Kong.
- 16mm film prints of two episodes were found in Australia (found prior to 2009), presumably these were the original broadcast prints that were disposed of after their final transmission by the ABC in December 1965. (Based on the summary of the restoration undertaken for the 2009 DVD release, at least one of the two episodes was episode 4 -- see The Restoration Team's Website.)
- A 16mm b/w print of episode 6 was found in Taiwan in 2013. It is believed to have been part of a package acquired for free by the AFRTS /American Armed Forces Network in the mid-1970s, however no airdates have been found.
