- At the beginning, the clock in the post office reads 7.30, but when Pat reaches the station, the time in cafe shows 11.00. Then when Pat returns to the post office, the time is 8.20. Later when Pat, Jess, Julian, Meera and Charlie find Ted covered in bubbles, the clock reads 10.15. When Pat are sorting the letters in the post office, the clock reads 12.00, then 3.30 and finally 10.00. After this, the clock in the station cafe is pointing to 10.15.
- For some reason Lucy is shown flying her kite in Pat's garden.
- Because stock footage from Postman Pat and the Green Rabbit is used, Nikhil's push-chair can be seen inside Pat's van at one point.
- The episode description on BBC iPlayer says that Pat was mistaken for an alien even though it was Ted.
- Some of the letters in the post office have smudged addresses.
