Trivia[]
- Recording date: March 25, 1996.
- The brush in the Post Office is the same one from the “Bertha” episode "More Speed Less More".
- In the beginning of the book version, Peter Fogg along with his motorbike appears by dashing on his way to do the milking. Also Pat mentions that he saw a postal trolley on a trip to London. This might be a reference to the book "Postman Pat Goes to Town" in which Pat spends a week working in London. The Royal Mail is also mentioned in the book version.
