This story aired in the following 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.)

First-ever newspaper billing for Doctor Who outside the UK - 18 September 1964, Christchurch Press, New Zealand. Not exactly awe-inspiring, is it...
