- (*) 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 often shown after Robot and before The Ark in Space, the stories being screened in production code order.
- This story was dubbed into Spanish, Arabic, Italian, and Galician.
- The story wasn't part of the package that was bought by France in 1986; new "music/effects only" soundtracks were therefore not made, which is probably why the serial wasn't sold to a number of other European countries in the late 1980s and 1990s.
- It was reported in DWM issue #114 (July 1986) that the serial aired in Canada as a compilation called "The Hunter". This cannot be, since the serial only ever aired episodically in Canada, never as an omnibus. If the anecdote is in any way true, however, it may have been an omnibus that screened on one of the US PBS stations in a state that bordered with Canada. Also, it's doubtful the story would have a brand new opening sequence showing the alternative title; if anything, the other title was only published in a listings magazine rather than something seen on screen. (See also The Hand of Fear and The Sun Makers.)
