Goofs[]
- In a close-up of Pat's notebook, he seems to be wearing P.C. Selby's jacket.
- Because stock footage from Postman Pat and the Job Swap Day is used during Mr. Pringle's class, the children keep changing their places throughout the scene. At one point Julian is even sitting at the back of the class with his jacket off, even though for the rest of the time, he is sitting at the front with Meera and still has his jacket on.
- Mr. Pringle has no eyebrows during his class.
- Ted has no eyebrows during the meeting at the school.
- Because stock footage from Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket is used during the meeting at the school, Doctor Gilbertson seems frightened at the mention of the bell ropes in the church and at helping the Reverend to bring them down.
- The Reverend says that he has ropes in the church tower, but the church does not have a tower.
- When Pat and Ted try to put the dinosaur shapes in Pat's van, the van is suddenly facing the other way it came in.
- Pat left the van's back doors open when he and Ted left the workshop with the dinosaur shapes, but when the children arrive, the doors are closed.
- The ropes are too thin for formerly bell ringing.
- Julian says "Come on. It'll get away." without moving his lips.
- When Lucy falls over at the Green, she has no eyebrows.
- Julian is smiling when he says "Hide!".
- When the children think they have seen the dinosaur, Charlie says "Wow!" in Meera's voice.
