- (*) The US date is based on the airdates for WTEV, which was the first US station to screen the initial package of 98 Tom Baker episodes.
- This story was dubbed into Spanish (for Latin America).
- It was classified A by the censors in Australia, and did not screen there until July 1987 (when it was reclassified as G). Of note, New Zealand was able to screen this story in 1979, presumably because the clearances that would normally have been paid by Australia had instead been met by the sale to the USA, Gibraltar or the UAE? (if clearances were still built around Commonwealth sales in the late 1970s)
Reissue
- The story was reissued in the mid-1980s, during the THIRD WAVE of sales.
| Saudi Arabia | late 85? | NTSC |
| Armed Forces Network | Jun 86 | NTSC |
| Australia | Jul 87 | PAL |
