Broadcast notes:
This was an unscheduled repeat, owing to the events in the United States overshadowing television the previous weekend. This led to a truncated Grandstand and the next episode, The Cave of Skulls, being pushed back from 5:15pm to 5:30pm.
The repeat wasn't shown in Northern Ireland.
