 * The [[New Zealand]] programme purchasers rejected this story in late 1970. The reason for the rejection is not known. Were the prints damaged? If so, why were replacements not acquired?

 * Significantly, [[Nigeria]] did not screen this story either. As we've noted on the page for [[The Ice Warriors]], it appears that Nigeria could only buy the same serials that the NZBC had, under the BBC's quota system, which is why these two serials were not screened by BPTV in 1974/75.
 * The sale to [[Gibraltar]] was actually "back-catalogue", as they had already started screening [[Jon Pertwee stories]] by this time.

 '''FILM CAN'''
 *A film can labelled "Cutting Copy" of part six was found in 1988 along with four "Cutting Copies" of [[The Ice Warriors]], but it actually contained something else. The exact origin of the (missing) "Cutting Copy" print is unclear. But based on the style of and text layout on the label, we can rule out it having been returned from any of the countries in Australasia.
-*It is entirely possible that the film '''was''' returned from overseas (along with [[The Ice Warriors]] from [[Singapore]]?), and was placed in a replacement can with a blank spare "Cutting Copy" label (the can itself was a smaller sized one, used for 35mm film, which meant that the 16mm film would have to be cut in half and wound onto two reels in order to fit); the handwritten text on the label therefore reflects the status of the film ''after'' its return -- the handwritten detail on the "Cutting Copy" sticker was copied over from the text of the label that was on one of the cans the films were returned in (i.e. the episode was returned on two reels to fit into the 35mm cans, hence the A + B / "reel 2 of 2" / "join in both reels" notations that would be applicable for a two reeler); it's clear that the recorded duration and length of footage are correct for the full episode.

 *[[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]].
