This story aired in the following countries. They are listed in chronological order according to known airdate. (Refer also to Selling Doctor Who for expanded airdates.)
| Australia | Jul 70 | b/w |
| Hong Kong | Sep 70 | b/w |
| Singapore | Jan 71 | b/w |
| Gibraltar | Mar 72 | b/w |
- Hong Kong presumably sent its films to Singapore soon after transmission, as that was the fate of the RTV prints of The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.
- The ABC in Australia returned its prints to the BBC on 4 June 1975.
- The BBC held eps 2,3,5,6,7,8 in 1976. Episodes 5,6 and 7 can't have come from Australia, as those three do not display the cuts made by the censors. The generally poor condition of eps 2 and 3 suggests they had been played multiple times which would be true in terms of the regional and repeat screenings by the ABC, whilst ep 7 was "dirty" and episode 8 was "excellent" (as described on the Restoration Team's website). That the condition of the prints was so variable does suggest they came from multiple sources. (If the prints were all returns from overseas as opposed to unsold "on the shelf" copies, eps 2 and 3 may have come from Australia, with the others hailing from Singapore and/or Gibraltar.)
