] All four episodes of this serial are considered missing. As usual, the soundtracks and telesnaps survive, along with bits of Australian censor footage.

"The Smugglers" was the first story to feature major location shooting. All previous location shots had been conducted at locations around London, but substantial portions of this story were filmed in Cornwall.

This was the last story filmed in the third season's production block, although it was intended to be held over until the beginning of the fourth season. During filming, the production team realized that William Hartnell's health had deteriorated beyond the point where he could continue to work. Many months' discussion about replacing Hartnell finally came to a head, and Innes Lloyd decided not to renew Hartnell's contract. It is unclear if Hartnell was contractually obliged to appear in "The Tenth Planet" or if he agreed to do so after being informed of Lloyd's decision.

On initial airing, this story posted the lowest audience figures, at an average of 4.48 million viewers per episode, since the show had started. It would remain the least-watched story in "Doctor Who" history for twenty years, until "The Trial of a Time Lord": "The Mysterious Planet" aired in 1986 and posted an average of 4.35 million viewers per episode.

Commercial releases

The soundtrack for the story exists due to fan-made recordings. These have been released on CD together with linking narration provided by cast member Anneke Wills.

Several brief clips cut by Australian censors for violence were recovered in 1996 and were released on the "Lost in Time" DVD box set in 2004. Also included in the set is amateur on-location film footage made during production at Trethewey Farm, Trethewey, Cornwall.

In print

A novelisation of this serial, written by Terrance Dicks, was published by Target Books in June 1988.
