• This was one of only a few Hartnell serials that did not have its foreign debut in Australia.
• When Terry Nation was trying to sell his Dalek spin-off series, the BBC agreed not to sell any Dalek stories from late-1966 to December 1967. The story was therefore withdrawn from sale. A number of countries had already bought the story prior to it being withdrawn, and they were able to air it. But of the sixteen countries that had bought The Space Museum, three were not able to purchase or air The Chase -- Mauritius, New Zealand and Venezuela.
• The 9 November 1971 edition of the BBC's "Something for the Children" featured a mute clip from episode 1.
