Goofs[]
- For the majority of the episode, except for one shot, PAT 1's rear number plate is missing.
- The breakfast cereal seen at the beginning is clearly Kellogg's Corn Flakes with the graphics censored out.
- Mrs. Goggins could have given Bonnie a walk whilst she was delivering the letters and shouldn't have let her go off on her own.
- Just because he is confined to bed, Julian hasn't got to change back into his pyjamas.
- What is the difference between resting on the sofa or in bed whilst one is ill?
- When Bonnie passes Pat's house, PAT 1 has suddenly been moved round to the front of the house, even though it was parked round the side before and after this.
- Pat could have gone to his own bedroom at the end of the episode instead of going to Julian's bedroom.
