Trivia

 * At the end of the 1986 UK and Australian releases, the end credits from Percy Runs Away are from the actual episode while subsequent UK releases used the credits from Coal.
 * The Video Collection release cover featured illustrations by Owen Bell.
 * Some of the 1993 releases included a warped audio track with extra music playing over the narration, at times nearly drowning it out.
 * The 2002 re-release, which was exclusive to Marks and Spencer store chain, doesn't feature the nameboards, but rather the remastered title cards and end credits.
