 * When the story was sold into US syndication in 1984, it was supplied in several versions, but not without a few hiccups along the way. The original plan had been for Lionheart to distribute just the colour episodes, to be renumbered 1 to 5. However due to an error, the BBC supplied Lionheart with the first five episodes, including the b/w part 3, but not part 6. A number of stations aired it like this (even billing the serial as being a 6-parter in the newspapers but only ever screening five of the episodes), attracting many complaints from viewers - such as this report in the Allentown ''Morning Call'', when [[WLVT]] / [[Lehigh Valley]] Channel 39 didn't screen episode 6. ([[WLVT]] later scheduled "part 3" on 10 March 1986, which they billed as "the missing final chapter of "Daleks", although this was ''probably'' actually part 6. You can see how confusing this can be!)
 *After it had eventually received part 6, Lionheart made two versions for their syndication package: an episodic 5-parter, that omitted the b/w third episode, and renumbered the others parts 1 to 5, as had been the original plan. Scenes from part 4 that related to the 'missing' third episode were removed, and other scenes were re-sequenced to smooth over the joins. The other was an omnibus "movie", which was simply a re-edit of the new 5-part version, with the credits and cliffhanger recaps removed.
-*Apparently a full-colour 6-part version was also later made by Lionheart; a replacement colour "Episode 3" was created by editing together the last 10 minutes of part two and the first 15 minutes of part four. Some accounts report that this was made only for use in [[Canada]], but since this version of the serial wasn't shown on [[YTV]] until 1990, and a number of US newspapers continue to list the serial as a 6-parter in 1987 and 1988, long after the earlier mix-up had been resolved, we wonder if this reconstruction did screen in the States after all. One of the stations billing it as a 6-parter was [[WLVT]], when it was repeated in December 1987. So, they either screened the newly-reconstructed part 3 or, despite being caught out by the earlier mix-up, made the same mistake again!
