  • When the Dalek stories were withdrawn from sale by agreement between the BBC and Terry Nation, the sale of this story and The Power of the Daleks to Australia had already been completed.
  • 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 re-released, but a sale wasn't made until 1969, by which time Zambia had moved on and was screening later Patrick Troughton stories, and Barbados and Sierra Leone had both dropped the series. Only New Zealand was still airing Hartnells and be able to schedule the serial in story order.
