  • It is thought that the BBC withdrew The Tenth Planet from sale as well, as it might have felt that it couldn't offer Hartnell's final story without Troughton's first to follow-on.
  • The serial was eventually made available again in early 1968, by which time Barbados was about to complete its screening of the other season three serials, and may have been too late to accept an offer of an extra serial. (Or was maybe never offered it!)
  • The first sale was to New Zealand, who censored the serial in June 1968.
  • For reasons unknown, two countries still screening season three stories did not acquire this story: Zambia did not acquire the serial to play after The Smugglers in October 1968, and Sierra Leone did not have it for broadcast in September 1970.
New Zealand Aug 69 b/w
