| Story Code: EE / Season 4 | UK Airdate: 5 Nov to 10 Dec 1966 | Doctor: Patrick Troughton |
| First airings by location | UK Repeats / Foreign Cable and Satellite | Previous Story / Next Story |
This story aired in the following three countries. They are listed in chronological order according to airdate. (Refer also to Selling Doctor Who for expanded airdates.)
| Australia | Jul 67 | b/w |
- When the Dalek stories were withdrawn from sale by agreement between the BBC and Terry Nation (covering late 1966 to the end of 1967), the sale of this story to Australia had already been completed.
- It is thought that the BBC also withdrew The Tenth Planet from sale at the same time, as it might have felt that it couldn't offer Hartnell's final story without Troughton's first to follow-on.
- The serial was eventually re-released, and the first sale was to New Zealand, who censored it in February 1969.
- Both Singapore and Hong Kong were already airing Troughton stories by this time, and thus were too late to acquire his introductory six-parter.
| New Zealand | Aug 69 | b/w |
| Singapore | May 72 | b/w |
- For reasons unknown, Zambia did not acquire the serial to air ahead of The Highlanders in early 1970. (Was the story available only to countries in Australasia because of the original sale to Australia, and not elsewhere, such as Africa?)
- New Zealand sent its film prints of this serial to Singapore on 10 January 1972. The sale to Singapore was actually "back-catalogue", as they had already started screening Jon Pertwee stories by this time. (Indeed, Singapore aired The Power of the Daleks at the end of a run that had started with The Evil of the Daleks!)
- The ABC in Australia returned its prints to the BBC on 4 June 1975.
- In issue #105 of DWB (September 1992) it was reported that the six parter may have been shown in Ghana "six years ago..." (i.e. in 1986). Two issues later (#107, November 1992), they reported that the Ghana television film library had been completely destroyed by fire in 1989. The story turned out to be a hoax; the perpetrators had chosen Ghana as it was the obscure place they could think of.
