| Story Code: DD / Season 4 | UK Airdate: 8 Oct to 29 Oct 1966 | Doctor: William Hartnell |
| 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 | Jun 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- When the Dalek stories were withdrawn from sale by agreement between the BBC and Terry Nation (covering late 1966 to the end of 1967), the sale of this story and The Power of the Daleks to Australia had already been completed.
- It is thought that the BBC withdrew The Tenth Planet from sale as well, 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 made available again in early 1968, by which time Barbados was about to complete its screening of the other season three serials, and may have been too late to accept an offer of an extra serial. (Or was maybe never offered it? See note below about Caribbean...)
- The first sale was to New Zealand, who censored the serial in June 1968. (The serial was the last in a total package of 44 William Hartnell episodes, starting with The Space Museum.)
- For reasons unknown, two further countries still screening season three stories did not acquire this story: Zambia did not acquire the serial to play after The Smugglers in October 1968, and Sierra Leone did not have it for broadcast in September 1970. (Was the story available only to countries in Australasia because of the original sale to Australia, and not elsewhere, such as Africa and Caribbean (see above)?)
| New Zealand | Aug 69 | b/w |
| Singapore | Apr 72 | b/w |
- 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.
- The ABC in Australia returned its prints to the BBC on 4 June 1975.
