| Story Code: LL / Season 4 | UK Airdate: 20 May to 1 Jul 1967 | Doctor: Patrick Troughton |
| First airings by location | UK Repeats / Foreign Cable and Satellite | Previous Story / Next Story |
This story aired in the following four countries. They are listed in chronological order according to known airdate. (Refer also to Selling Doctor Who for expanded airdates.)
| Australia | Jan 69 | b/w |
| Hong Kong | Aug 69 | b/w |
| Singapore | Dec 69 | b/w |
| New Zealand | Jun 70 | b/w |
- The story screened out of sequence in Australia, airing between The Web of Fear and Fury from the Deep, instead in late January 1968 after The Faceless Ones. It is believed that this delay was due to the ABC having to wait until 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 was probably this delay in getting the serial cleared in Australia that prevented Uganda from acquiring the serial, which is why it was not part of the season four package that was sold to Uganda in 1968.
- Hong Kong may have sent its film prints to Singapore soon after transmission.
- The serial was withdrawn circa 1972, after the sale to New Zealand, which meant that Zambia could not purchase it in 1973.
- 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.)
- The ABC in Australia returned its prints to the BBC on 4 June 1975.
- By mid-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". But no episodes were held in November 1976, suggesting any that were held had been discarded by then. There is a strong likelihood that what Dicks saw was episode 2, junked in late 1976, but salvaged and later resurfaced in 1987.
- If the print of part 2 that was recovered in 1987 (Gordon Hendry put his own home-made labels on the film can) was an overseas return, it may have been the Australian print (although it did not have the usual "ABC" film leader that all the other ex-Australian prints had). But if not the ex-ABC print, it can only have been the Hong Kong / Singapore copy.
