A weblog falsely reported that some episodes no longer exist in the BBC archives.

A full set of tape copies exist at the British Film Institute, where they can be viewed on request. It has never been released on DVD, although a French dubbed version, called "La couronne du diable", is available as a paid (legal) download.
