The book also contains summaries of foreign airdates, which have been derived from material presented here in '''BroaDWcast''' (with our blessing).
 The book also draws upon Molesworth's previously published exposés into the secrets of the BBC's archives, specifically his three-part article in '''DWM''' (issues 255-257, July-September 1997). This was itself based in part on Molesworth's articles previously featured in the fanzine ''DWB'' (issue 77, May 1990), and the ''DWB Compendium'' (1993).
