* This story was made as a standard four-parter, but re-edited into a double-length two-parter. The original four-part version was supplied to the North American distributor, Lionheart. However, the print of part two was without music or sound effects. The omnibus "movie" version was similarly affected, but this time it was the entire second half that was missing its music and effects. There were also several extra scenes in these episodes not used in the final UK cut.

These 25 minute episodes played without "Part Two / Three / Four" captions, and the 'new' parts two and four had very brief recaps.

Also supplied were copies of the two 45 minute edits, although Part 2 was an earlier cut minus its music and sound effects. Lionheart made its omnibus "movie" edition by joining together the two 45 minute edits (so the entire second half was the raw studio sound only), while the 4-part version consisted of the proper edit of episode 1, the undubbed episode 2, and new parts 3 and 4 created from cutting the undubbed 45 minute Part Two in half as had been done in Australia, but with a different cliffhanger ending: apparently the Doctor crying "You're destroying my mind!"

The "wrong" edits remained in circulation throughout the late 1980s, which meant that many stations in the US aired different versions of the story.

  • The serial was originally made and edited as a 4-parter, but was modified into and aired as an extended 2-parter in the UK.
  • The serial was sold to Australia in its 2-part broadcast version, but the ABC cut the episodes in half for transmission -- new cliffhangers were thus created: the first falling on Lytton's line, "Release Davros", with the third falling on Davros's declaration that his Daleks would once again become "the Supreme beings!". These 25 minute episodes played without "Part Two / Three / Four" captions, and the 'new' parts two and four had very brief recaps. The same 'edited' versions later aired in New Zealand, and presumably also in the United Arab Emirates since it was also a PAL broadcaster.
  • For US syndication, Lionheart was supplied with the dubbed final edit of the original 25 minute part 1 and an undubbed earlier edit of the 25 minute part 2, which had several extra scenes but no music or sound effects. Also supplied were copies of the two 45 minute edits, although Part 2 was an earlier cut minus its music and sound effects. Lionheart made its omnibus "movie" edition by joining together the two 45 minute edits (so the entire second half was the raw studio sound only), while the 4-part version consisted of the proper edit of episode 1, the undubbed episode 2, and new parts 3 and 4 created from cutting the undubbed 45 minute Part Two in half as had been done in Australia, but with a different cliffhanger ending: apparently the Doctor crying "You're destroying my mind!"
  • Lionheart distributed new 4-part and "omnibus" edits with the correct soundtrack in 1986: WNYC in New York aired the corrected omnibus on 5 September 1986, and Canada's TVOntario screened the proper 4-part edit in December 1986. The "wrong" edits remained in circulation throughout the late 1980s, which meant that many stations in the US aired different versions of the story.
