| Story Code: SSS / Season 10 | UK Airdate: 7 Apr to 12 May 1973 | Doctor: Jon Pertwee |
| First airings by location | UK Repeats / Foreign Cable and Satellite | Previous Story / Next Story |
This story aired in the following known countries. They are listed in chronological order according to known airdate. If no month is noted, the actual airdate is not confirmed, and is a close approximate. (Refer also to Selling Doctor Who for expanded airdates.)
| Australia | Dec 73 | b/w |
| Singapore | May 74 | b/w |
| Hong Kong | Jul 74 | b/w |
| United Arab Emirates | 75 | PAL |
| Gibraltar | Jan 77 | b/w |
| Saudi Arabia | Feb 78 | NTSC or b/w |
- The story was dubbed into Arabic.
- The BBC wiped the colour PAL tape of part three sometime in late 1974, but certainly after the sale to the United Arab Emirates, where it screened all in colour. (The UAE returned their tapes of parts four, five and six in 1991.)
- The serial was not sold to New Zealand in 1974/75 because it no longer existed in full colour.
Reissue
- The serial was released again in early 1985, as part of a package of all 24 Jon Pertwee stories, and sold to Australia (in Aug 86, for the first time in colour), and also to:
| United States | from Mar 85 | NTSC |
| New Zealand | May 86 | PAL & b/w |
| Canada | 1990s? | NTSC & b/w? |
- In New Zealand and Australia, part three was supplied and aired in black and white.
- For the Canadian screenings, the black and white third episode wasn't used, and instead a "new" colour episode three was created by editing together the last 10 minutes of part two and the first 15 minutes of part four.
- For the 1985 US compilation screenings, a special edit was provided that cut 'around' the missing colour episode. Stations airing the episodic version received one of two packages of five episodes: either episodes 1-5 (with part 3 in black & white) or episodes 1-2, 4-6 (with parts 4-6 renumbered 3-5). It wasn't until 1993 that all six episodes were available.
