  • The story may have been dubbed into Arabic.
  • It was not sold anywhere in its original PAL format. The tapes had been wiped by the end of 1973.
  • The b/w film-recording of part 2 was not taken from the episode as transmitted but from an earlier edit in error; this had no music or sound effects and also contained a few seconds of additional material that had been removed from the broadcast episode. Only those countries screening the serial in b/w saw this 'extended' version. (The NTSC conversion came from the UK transmission tape.)
  • The NTSC tapes were recovered from Canada by March 1983.


Reissue

Billing from San Jose's KTEH listings magazine, June 1984
