- New Zealand sent its film prints of this serial to Singapore on 10 January 1972. The sale to Singapore was actually "back-catalogue", as they had already started screening Jon Pertwee stories by this time.
- After screening the serial in February 1972, Singapore sent the prints to Nigeria.
- The Australian print of part two was later found in the possession of an Australian film collector.
- The films were recovered from Nigeria in 1984. New Zealand and Nigeria had both made censor or timing edits to the prints.
- The prints still held by Sierra Leone were reportedly lost when the film storage facility was destroyed in 1999 during the 1991-2001 civil war.
Reissue
- The newly-recovered serial was quickly made available to:
| United States | from Sep 85 | b/w |
| Canada | 1990s | b/w |
- Apparently the regeneration sequence from Hartnell to Troughton was grafted onto the end of part four.
- For the later DVD release, the films were restored by combining elements from the New Zealand / Singapore / Nigeria prints with a print of part two and censor clippings recovered from Australia.
