  • The New Zealand programme purchasers rejected this story in late 1970. The reason for the rejection is not known; but it has been suggested, given that the New Zealand government was at the time having negotiations with British Petroleum (BP) to exploit a newly-discovered field of natural gas in the Tasman Sea, that the broadcaster thought it unwise to screen a serial featuring sea monsters attacking a gas platform...
  • Significantly, Nigeria did not screen this story either. Did / could Nigeria only buy the same serials that the NZBC had?
  • The sale to Gibraltar was actually "back-catalogue", as they had already started screening Jon Pertwee stories by this time.
  • The film can of a "Cutting Copy" of part six was found in 1988; it actually contained part six of The Ice Warriors! It's unclear whether or not this "Cutting Copy" was one that had been returned from overseas, but the style of and text layout on the label suggests it was not returned from any of the countries in Australasia.
