Trivia
- This title seems to be a reference to the famous phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" from The Shining.
- The episode shares the same name with a The Magic Adventures of Mumfie episode that was in an airing of Storytime with Thomas in 1999.
- In the plot outline of the episode:
- There is a note saying "Emma - this is your mission...should you choose to accept it...." According to her LinkedIn, this episode would have been written sometime between May and June 2002.
- Underneath the title, it is noted that the episode is also known as "Seriously, Folks". This could have been an alternate title for the episode.
- The document of this episode's plot outline was created on January 27, 2003, followed less than an hour later by a document confirming that all 13 completed episodes of Jack and the Sodor Construction Company had been filmed by then, and then followed by jpegs of concept art of all five new engine characters introduced in the seventh series the next day.[1]
