- From 1973, this was the earliest full colour story in the PAL format. As the sole representative from season 9 to be retained by the BBC, it may have been kept for the simple fact that it was a Dalek story, the first in colour.
- When the story aired in the United States, it was often billed in newspapers as just "The Daleks" (see clipping below), a 'title' taken from Time-Life's sales literature.
- The United Arab Emirates appears to have been the first PAL country outside the UK to screen the story in that format; this was on its Arabic language channel, so may have been dubbed, narrated or subtitled.
- New Zealand was potentially the first to screen the story in PAL colour in English.
- It was repeated in Australia in May 1978, now in PAL colour for the first time.
- The serial was released circa the late 1980s on subtitled VHS in Israel.
Reissue
- The serial was reissued to the United States in 1983, as part of a package of 14 full colour Jon Pertwee stories, and again in 1985 as part of a package of all 24 Pertwee serials.
- It was also repeated in New Zealand in Nov 85, as well as later appearing in:
