• Tunisia did not screen this serial.
• In mid-1967, New Zealand was sent the prints that had been used by the ABC in Australia.
• A UK film collector acquired prints of both episodes sometime in the 1970s. It's not known what format these are -- Suppressed or Stored field -- and as such it is not possible to determine their origin.
