Trivia[]
- Frequently used stock footage from seasons 3 - 5 is used.
- This is the second time Pumpkin's trailer has been towed by another vehicle.
- The dough used to make the biscuits is actually yellow plasticine.
- The "Stop That Pony" song features in this episode.
- This is the only episode where Pat makes a special delivery in PAT 1 (though he was mistakenly seen driving PAT 4 at one point).
Goofs[]
- When Pat turns the corner towards the sorting office, he is driving PAT 4, even though it is PAT 1 which is towing Pumpkin's horse box for the majority of the episode.
- A spare PAT 1 number plate should have been added to the back of Pumpkin's trailer when Pat was driving it to the sorting office.
- Biscuits may get bigger as they cook but they cannot change shape.
- Sarah Gilbertson is accidentally shown riding in the bus instead of Sara Clifton.
- P.C. Selby says he does not want to give Pat a parking ticket, yet he makes him park his van and the horse box in a spot which blocks any entrance and exit of three houses and he says nothing about Pat driving a vehicle with two number plates.
- When Pat and Jess arrive at the sorting office on Pumpkin, PAT 2 has disappeared and then it reappears again when Pumpkin is brought in for Ben.
