''Logopolis'' was repeated on BBC2 in November/December 1981, as part of "The Five Faces of Doctor Who". Stripped across four consecutive evenings from Monday to Thursday 9–12 November 1981, with viewing figures of 4.4, 4.6, 4.6 and 4.5 million respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://guide.doctorwhonews.net/story.php?story=TheKrotons&detail=broadcast|title=Doctor Who Guide: broadcasting for The Krotons|last=doctorwhonews.net}}</ref>

The serial was the last ''Doctor Who'' story aired on its traditional Saturday evening slot for four years. When Peter Davison took over as the Fifth Doctor in January 1982, the BBC moved ''Doctor Who'' from Saturday nights to a new weekday prime time slot, airing two episodes per week. It did not return to Saturday evenings until January 1985.
