 *The BBC still had copies of all four episodes by the end of 1976 (possibly the ones returned from [[Australia]], [[Mauritius]], [[Sierra Leone]] or [[Zambia]]?), but by late 1977 they had junked all bar episode 2, unless that print of episode 2 was a different one that had been subsequently returned to the BBC?
 *A film collector acquired prints of episodes 1, 2 and 3 sometime in the mid-1970s. These would have been a different set to the ones held by the BBC in 1976, and may have been some of the ones returned by [[Australia]] or earlier from [[Mauritius]], [[Sierra Leone]] or [[Zambia]]. These prints were returned to the BBC but not until the early 1990s.
-* The ex-NZ prints were recovered from [[Nigeria]] in 1984. It was found that the opening five minutes set in the TARDIS was missing from part one. The cut ''may'' have been made in [[New Zealand]] to reflect that the previous story [[The Chase]] had not screened, although edits of that nature were not common in NZ. If not NZ, the cut can only have have been made by the station in [[Nigeria]] for the same reason (although one has to wonder why they would have bothered!). (There were also further edits made to the prints of [[The War Machines]] that were retrieved from [[Nigeria]], so these additional cuts could certainly be attributed to the Nigerian station.)

 * Unlike all the previous serials, this was not sold to [[Ethiopia]].
 * Like [[The Web Planet]], this serial was sold 'twice' to [[Nigeria]], but to different broadcasters. The 1973 sale to [[Nigeria]] was probably done to make up the non-sale to [[Ethiopia]].
