Trivia[]
- When this episode first aired in English on BBC One London on 19 December 1988, it aired at 16:05.[1]
- Despite this episode being copyrighted in 1988, during it's first English airing, the credits showed it as being copyrighted in 1987 for a brief second, before an extra "I" was added to the Roman Numerals to change it to 1988.
Goofs[]
- When Sam takes the bus at the beginning, there is no "Bus Stop" sign it indicates whether Trevor stopped at an unauthorised place or not.
- When Dilys reacts to Bella's scream, her lipstick disappears.
- The jackdaw would have been too frightened to steal any of the stuff he had stolen, as they were all indoors when they were last seen.
- The siren on Jupiter sounds faulty when Sam switches it on.
- Bella is smiling when she screams about the fire and when she is crying about her café.
- When the sausage goes flying into Station Officer Steele's tea, you can see the wires holding it in the air, which brush against and shift his hair between frames.
- Continuity error: The date this episode was released in Welsh was before The Wishing Well. In that episode, Station Officer Steele is presented with his long service medal (not seen), but in this episode, his medal is stolen by the jackdaw.
