- 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.
- 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, we can probably rule out these being returned from any of the countries in Australasia.
