Goofs[]

  • In the first bird's eye view of Greendale, Ted can be seen inside the Greendale Rocket even though he is supposed to be back at the mill at this point.
  • At the post office, the clock reads nearly 7.00, but a few minutes later, the clock at the station shows a few minutes before 10.00.
  • At one point, Pat is driving past the post office even though he already left it. At this same point, the van does not have its rear number plate.
  • When Ted first takes his helmet off, his hair instantly tidies itself up.
  • When Lucy wipes the icing off Nikhil's face, his right eyebrow disappears.
  • When Sara says "I wonder where Pat's got to with those balloons," Green Rabbit suddenly switches sides of Nikhil.
  • Alf has no eyebrows.
  • Throughout the episode, the hair on P.C. Selby's moustache keeps changing its length.
  • Ted has to pop five balloons in order to bring the post bag back down to earth, yet it only took two out of those five balloons to lift up the bag in the first place.
  • Ted pops a yellow balloon, a pink balloon and an orange balloon, but as the post bag drops from the sky, those three balloons are still inflated.
  • Throughout the episode, the amount of balloons attached to the post bag keeps changing.
  • When Ted is hovering alongside the post bag, there are no green balloons, even though we see him pop one a few seconds later.
  • Because stock footage from Postman Pat and the Runaway Train is used, Jess is not seen in the Panda Car with Pat and P.C. Selby when he should be.
