Trivia

 * Going by production order, this is the ninth episode of the seventh season.
 * Stock footage from Trucks!, Thomas and the Rumours, Oliver's Find, Make Someone Happy, James and the Red Balloon and Edward's Brass Band is used.
 * The Fat Controller references the Greek legend "Hercules".
 * Pegasus' cart is really Trevor's hay cart from Twin Trouble.
 * Some US versions have the original music instead of the new music.
 * A production made miniature model of Pegasus was sold to The Coffey Man Preservation from The Prop Gallery.
 * This is one of several episodes from the seventh season to have its title card read on Nick Jr. and PBS airings.

Goofs

 * When Thomas leaves the station, a white blotch (presumably a film glitch) is visible in the centre-right.
 * In the US narration, the event is referred to as a garden party, but the sign still says fete.
 * When Percy arrives at Maithwaite, Toby and Henrietta pass by, but in the next scene, they are no where to be seen.
 * In a deleted scene, Henry is on Thomas' Branch Line.
 * When Harold leaves the party, it is daytime. However, because stock footage is used, in the next shot it is sundown.
