Remembering that the film was made in the 1960s (as also was "Doctor Who
and the Daleks" IIRC), I'd have thought that the chance of finding a US
distributor for a British film based on a TV show which 99% of Americans
would never have heard of was remote. So if they did hope to sell the
film to the US I think they were being very optimistic. But I think that
it was actually made mainly for a British audience, but one that -
rather oddly - was assumed to have little familiarity with the TV show.
