| Story Code: WW / Season 6 | UK Airdate: 28 Dec 1968 to 18 Jan 1969 | Doctor: Patrick Troughton |
| First airings by location | UK Repeats / Foreign Cable and Satellite | Previous Story / Next Story |
This story aired in the following countries. They are listed in chronological order according to known airdate. (Refer also to Selling Doctor Who for expanded airdates.)
| Australia | Aug 70 | b/w |
| Hong Kong | Nov 70 | b/w |
| Singapore | Mar 71 | b/w |
| Gibraltar | May 72 | b/w |
| Nigeria | 75 or 76? | b/w |
- Hong Kong presumably sent its films to Singapore soon after transmission, as that was the fate of the RTV prints of The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.
- The films acquired by Nigeria may have originated from Gibraltar (i.e. sent back to the BBC first, then sold to Nigeria).
- The ABC in Australia returned its prints to the BBC on 9 June 1976.
- A 16mm b/w print of episode 3 was found in Taiwan in 2013. It is believed to have been part of a package acquired for free by the AFRTS /American Armed Forces Network in the mid-1970s, however no airdates have been found.
- See also the Troughton Junkings page.
