    • Trivia
      There is currently no known as-broadcast copy of this edition in existence, although a recording lasting around an hour and ten minutes survives of all the unedited studio footage from July 2nd 1968. Network edited this material into episodic length for their 2010 DVD release.
    • Alternate versions
      While this episode, like many others in series 1 and series 2, was purged from the ATV/Thames archive, the raw footage for the episode still exists, with both completed sequences, alternate versions, and outtakes, providing the material from which the episode could in fact be reconstructed. This unassembled footage has been in fan circulation for some time.
