- A picture of Mole as Napoleon Bonaparte from "The Wind in the Willows" episode "May Day" can be seen on the table of items in the market.
- One of the ice cream bowls amongst the stuff for the market is a stage prop from Cosgrove Hall’s other production made for the BBC “Noddy’s Toyland Adventures”.
Goofs[]
- Pat, Ted and Alf should have taken their hats off when they went into the church.
- For some reason, PAT 1's rear number plate is blurred at one point.
- In an aerial shot of Greendale, Ted can be seen in the Greendale Rocket's cab, but in the next shot he is not.
- Greendale Farm is referred to as Pottage Farm.
- Pat should have known that Mrs. Pottage was ready for the market, as he saw her there earlier. Also if Mrs. Pottage was helping out at the market, Pat should not have seen her at Greendale Farm.
- In a close-up of Pat leaving Greendale Farm, the village can be seen in the background.
- Pat was supposed to realise Cedric at Greendale, yet he later decides to let him go by the river.
- Pat should know that Cedric can fly straight as he has known him to do it before.
- Because stock footage from Postman Pat's Pigeon Post is used, Cedric flies away with a message attached to his leg for no reason at all.
- Jeff and Charlie's old cuckoo clock is on their stall at the market and even gets borrowed by Pat at one point to make Cedric come down from the church belfry, even though the clock had already been sold to Pat and then given to Dorothy in Postman Pat and the Jumble Sale.
- The Reverend could have just rung the bell anyway, because it would have then scared Cedric away from the belfry.
- Cedric could not possibly have gone a whole afternoon without food.
- Meera's kite and the noisy music should have scared Cedric away.
- Ted's lorry has no rear number plate.
- The shot where the Reverend runs into the church is also played early on at rejuiced speed.
- Alf should know that Bill would know how precious Cedric is to him.
