Broadcast and DVD Releases
"World War Three" received a final rating of 7.98 million viewers in the United Kingdom.
The episode's initial Canadian broadcast on CBC had a programming error. The action before the title sequence which was supposed to resolve the previous episode's cliffhanger — by showing the Doctor turning the tables with the electrified ID badge — was omitted. This led to understandable confusion from Canadian viewers. The error was corrected on the repeat broadcast, although the sequence appeared after the opening titles.
This episode together with "Aliens of London" and "Dalek" were the first released on the UMD format for the PlayStation Portable.
