  • This serial was the only historical that had a Music / Effects track made and was dubbed for the Spanish and Arabic language markets.
  • Prints of three episodes were found in Cyprus in late 1984.
  • The Arabic print of episode four that had aired in Morocco (the can still bears a label for the Moroccan TV station RTM) is held by a private collector. According to a slate that appears on the film leader, the Arabic negative from which this print was struck was created in November 1967, which ties in with the contracted sale date of this story to Morocco. This means the prints struck for Tunisia came from a different negative.
