  • When the story was rejected in December 1971 by the censors in Australia, the serial (in b/w) was then not able to be sold to any other Commonwealth country, such as New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Gibraltar.
  • The only sales were to non-Commonwealth countries that broadcast in NTSC or black and white.
  • It was not sold anywhere in its original PAL format. The tapes had been wiped by the end of 1973.
  • It was dubbed into Arabic.


Reissues

  • It was reissued in black and white from March 1985: United States and Canada aired the serial in that format in the mid-1980s.
  • New Zealand screened it for the first time in 1985, and Australia aired it in 1986.
  • It was by using an off-air recording taken off an April 1976 (?) broadcast in Los Angeles, California, that enabled the BBC to restore the serial to full colour.
