(4) This run was mostly conducted in tandem with HTV Wales, but both they and HTV West opted out on occasion. This included HTV West missing the first episode of these repeats - The Eagle's Nest - which aired on their sister service.
(5) While HTV West were airing Title Chasing and Database, HTV Wales screened The New Avengers episode Faces.
(6) As Three Handed Game and Complex were again added to the schedule later in this repeat run, it suggests that their first transmissions may not have gone to plan.

(7) Listed in regional variations for HTV in the Midlands area TV Times but not reflected in daily newspapers - Matlock is listed in this slot. Therefore, almost certainly, The New Avengers was not shown in this slot.
(8) The Shropshire Star newspaper notes this episode as being the "Last in the series".
