 * The [[New Zealand]] film prints were "DESTROYED", date unknown, but likely to be in 1974. (The NZBC's rights to screen the story had expired on '''31 May 1973'''.)

 *By April 1976, the BBC held at least one episode of the serial, as it was viewed by Terrance Dicks during pre-production work on what ultimately became '''"[[Whose Doctor Who]]"'''.
 **Dicks described what he saw as "The Doctor encounters the Daleks again, this time in Victorian London". That he makes no mention of the Dalek Emperor on Skaro does suggest that he did not see the entire serial, but only one episode - and that brief synopsis (albeit slightly inaccurate, since the London scenes take place in 1966, and the Victorian-era action in Canterbury...) could easily be a description of just part 2. Since no episodes of "Evil" were held in November 1976 when the researchers for '''[[Whose Doctor Who]]''' accessed the available material, the BBC must have discarded it soon after Dicks had viewed it - but it was salvaged, and later resurfaced in 1987...

 * The story screened out of sequence in [[Australia]], airing between [[The Web of Fear]] and [[Fury from the Deep]], instead of after [[The Faceless Ones]] in late January 1968. It is believed that this delay was due to the ABC having to wait until the rights had been cleared following the lifting of the sales embargo imposed by Terry Nation in late 1966, and after the serial had been repeated by the BBC, which it did from 8 June to 3 August 1968. The Australian censors viewed the prints on 30 October 1968, and the ABC formally purchased the serial in January 1969. (It's unknown if the prints supplied to the ABC were telerecorded during the first UK screening, during the repeat or at a separate session; if during the repeat, the Australian print would have contained the narration that had been dubbed onto the first episode.)

 *In early 1987, a print of part 2 was found in the possession of film collector Gordon Hendry (along with a copy of [[The Faceless Ones]] part 3), which he had acquired from a dealer in 1983. (Hendry put new labels on the film -- see photo above).
 **If Hendry's print of part 2 was an overseas return, it may have been the Australian print (the episode was missing the first few seconds of the titles, and as such was also missing a tell-tale leader). But if it was not the ex-ABC print, it can only have been the [[Hong Kong]] / [[Singapore]] copy.
