Trivia[]

  • Going by production order, this is the seventeenth episode of the twenty-fourth series.
  • This is the first and last episode of a few things:
    • The last episode written by Paul Larson and Laura Beaumont.
    • The last original series episode where a character besides Thomas has a leading role.
    • Although it chronologically takes place before Cleo's First Snow, this episode marks the final appearances of Cleo and Ruth, as well as those of Bulgy and the Post Van.
    • The final appearance of Farmer McColl in the original series.
    • The last episode to feature William Hope, Colin McFarlane, Harriet Kershaw, and Dominique Moore as part of the voice cast.
  • In Poland, this episode premiered before A New Arrival, so the audience would not know who Ruth is.
  • In the Polish dub, Bulgy is voiced by a female actress instead of a male actor.

Goofs[]

  • On Netflix, when Cleo is passing Bulgy, the captions credit the latter's interrupted "free the roads" quip as Bertie's.
  • Thomas' brake van changes from black to orange and back to black.
