(2) This episode was shown in place of The Rotters, which was billed in TV Times magazine. Newspaper listings confirm this substitution and The Rotters was finally broadcast in the Grampian region on 26th February 1969.
(3) The episode Killer was scheduled for this date but appears to have been replaced with an unknown episode or another programme entirely. Get-A-Way! was shown instead in other ITV regions, but Grampian scheduled this episode on Wednesday 14th May 1969, seemingly ruling it out. The unplaced episode, Requiem, could not have filled this slot as it was not completed until mid-February 1969.
