| Story Code: XX / Season 6 | UK Airdate: 25 Jan to 1 Mar 1969 | Doctor: Patrick Troughton |
| First airings by location | UK Repeats / Foreign Cable and Satellite | Previous Story / Next Story |
This story aired in the following countries. They are listed in chronological order according to known airdate. (Refer also to Selling Doctor Who for expanded airdates.)

| Singapore | Apr 71 | b/w |

- Hong Kong presumably sent its films to Singapore soon after transmission, as that was the fate of the RTV prints of The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.
- The ABC in Australia returned its prints to the BBC on 4 June 1975.
- Some of the ex-Australian films may have been sent to Zambia.
- A 16mm b/w print of episode 2 was supposedly found in Taiwan in 2013. It is believed to have been part of a package acquired by the AFRTS / American Armed Forces Network in the mid-1970s, however no airdates have been found for the story, and the film has not been verified. (See also Taiwan Prints.)
- See also the Troughton Junkings page.
