+*Since the last scene of part 6 featured a 'flashback' lead-in to the repeat of [[The Evil of the Daleks]], this story may have been treated the same as all other Dalek serials, and only had a limited sales period, which was shorter than the rest of season five, expiring in 1973 instead of 1974/75.
 *The [[Hong Kong]] prints were presumably sent to [[Singapore]] soon after transmission.
 * A 16mm print of episode 3 was returned to the BBC in 1984. The then-owner had acquired it from a collector who had possessed it since 1971. The only possible source of this would be [[Singapore]], but only if the films had been returned to the BBC soon after transmission in 1970. With part 3 missing when the sale to [[Gibraltar]] came through a few years later, a replacement copy was struck. (See also [[The Dominators]]).
 * The sale to [[Gibraltar]] was actually "back-catalogue", as they had already started screening [[Jon Pertwee stories]] by this time.
 *The films may have been borrowed by [[Nigeria]], where they were screened first, then sent (back) to [[Gibraltar]] for screening a few months later.
-* The [[New Zealand]] prints were likely disposed of by the end of 1974. (The NZBC's rights to screen the story had expired on '''31 May 1973'''.) This was the final '''Doctor Who''' serial to be purchased by [[New Zealand]] until 1974...
+*The [[New Zealand]] prints were likely disposed of at the end of 1974. (The NZBC's rights to screen the story had expired on '''31 May 1973''', which ties in with the serial's shorter sales rights period.)
-*Since the Australian prints were not returned to the BBC with the bulk consignment in 1975, it's likely the films had already been disposed of by then.
+** This was the final '''Doctor Who''' serial to be purchased by [[New Zealand]] for some time; the NZBC later  acquired a run of Pertwees in 1974.

Since no clear airdates have been found for the [[Nigeria]] screening, it's possible that the print was the ex-[[Hong Kong ]] / [[Singapore]] film, either never sent to [[Nigeria]], or sent to [[Nigeria]] but never aired and returned to the BBC, or it did air in early 1974, and then sent back to the BBC.
