  • The serial was dubbed into Arabic.
  • This story was telerecorded as a black and white film print for foreign sales, however only three (known) countries aired the serial in that format.
  • Australia received the black and white films by July 1974 (when they were viewed by the censor), but subsequently acquired PAL colour tapes in time for the commencement of colour broadcasts in March 1975. (Although the b/w films may have been aired by the smaller regional stations cross Australia in 1975.)
  • The serial aired in Boston only; the rest of the United States did not get the serial until the 1983 re-issue. This appears to have been a special one-off deal struck between WGBX and the BBC that was in addition to the standard Time Life deal that was available elsewhere. (The BBC took the opportunity to also sell the serial to Canadian stations TVO and CKVU at the same time, presumably to cover the costs of having NTSC conversions made.)


Reissue

  • The serial was issued in mid-1983, as part of a package of 14 full colour Jon Pertwee stories, to the USA.
