• A 16mm film print of episode three was found at a memorabilia store in California in the late-1970s. Where it came from or how it got there is currently unknown, although one possibility is that it was Terry Nation's own copy (Nation's then-agent, Associated London Scripts Management, had purchased four episodes of this serial in 1965); he gave it away / sold it soon after he'd relocated to Los Angeles in 1979.
