Trivia[]
- The Italian title is "Attività Estreme a Pontypandy" (Extreme Activities in Pontypandy).
- The trouble situation is quite similar to The Wishing Well with Norman falling into the wishing well, and the concept of Norman trying to raise money to replace his broken skateboard is reminiscent of Trevor's Boot Sale.
- This episode along with Cat Magic are currently the only two CGI episodes where a victim gets stuck down the well.
Goofs[]
- It is impossible to buy a skateboard with only a few pennies as in real life, the cheapest skateboard costs £10 and one would have had to grab 1,000 pennies from a wishing well; another reason that this isn't possible is because the situation depends on the amount of pennies inside a wishing well, or an object that has something where one throws their money inside. Though, it's most likely that Norman was so desperate for a new skateboard, that he didn't think of this.
