Trivia[]
- The chest for the golden ball and cup from the "Noddy's Toyland Adventures" episode "Noddy and the Treasure Map" can be seen in the front window of the post office.
- This episode introduces Rosie to the series.
- This episode's plot is quite similar to Postman Pat and the Beast of Greendale as both feature an animal breaking loose and causing chaos by eating things they shouldn't.
- The model of Rosie may have been re-used from the "Gran" episode "Gran's Goat".
- The original Woodland Animations PAT 1 model is used when Pat and Doctor Gilbertson puts the parcels and letters in Pat's van outside the Post Office, for the scenes at Thompson Ground and when Pat and Alf continue to chase Rosie in the village after seeing P.C. Selby.
Goofs[]
- In a close up of Pat and Alf in the van, the glow of the blue screen can been seen on the van's edges.
- P.C. Selby ticks off the same part of his washing list twice.
- Logically, the labels should have been stuck to the parcels instead of tied.
