Although this edition saw Aquarius enter a more viewer-friendly timeslot of 5:15pm in the London region, it was a series that was often shown by other ITV regions, if at all, in different slots and on different days. On the day of broadcast, this edition was only listed as airing in the London region.
Despite airing just eight days after The Aquarius Mahler Festival: Das Lied Von Der Erde: The Song of the Earth (1972), presenter Humphrey Burton announces this as a new series.
