Trivia
- This was the first UK VHS release for two things:
- The first UK VHS release to feature the Britt Allcroft logo, albeit without the accompanying music. However, the Welsh release and a later UK copy included the music.
- The first UK VHS released by The Britt Allcroft Company.
- The back cover of the English release features an image from Edward and Gordon.
- This was the last release by Pickwick Video.
- Percy's Predicament is listed out of chronological order compared to the rest of the episodes on the tape.
- Coincidentally, the pictures used on the UK cover are the same ones used on the 1990 release of the US release, Thomas Gets Tricked and Other Stories.
