• New Zealand sent its film prints of this serial to Singapore on 10 January 1972.

• After screening the serial in February 1972, Singapore sent the prints to Nigeria.

• The films were recovered from Nigeria in 1984. New Zealand and Nigeria had both made censor or timing edits to the prints.

• Apparently the regeneration sequence from Hartnell to Troughton was grafted onto the end of part four.
