Trivia[]
- This episode's Storyworld segment was shot on 24 September, 2002.
- At one point, when Mr Man pushes the pedal of the bubble blower and when a bubble comes out, it makes the same sound as the doors from the Tubbytronic Superdome in Teletubbies.
- This is the 1st episode with Australia & China as the 2 country intro, the "Jump with the Bouncing Boohbahs" warm-up, and the "Scrunching and Stretching" dance.
- The "Somebody's Coming" music doesn't play at all for any of the Storypeople coming.
- The bubbles inside the bubble machine are made of clear plastic balls and pink liquid, whilst the pink bubbles that come out are computer-animated.
- This is the second (known) episode to have the extra dances Run Around/Loopy Leaping; the first was "Big Windows".
- When the extending hand pops up, instead of saying "It's an extending hand," the narrator just says "An extending hand."
- In the present giving sequence, after the kids put the present in the centre, the background music doesn't play when the kids blow on the present. This also happens in "Settee & Cushions" and "Big Comb".
- This episode shares similarities with "Bells". Both have the Australia & China intro, the "Scrunching and Stretching" dance, Jumbah leading a warm-up that appeared in only one other episode, and Grandmamma and Mr Man appearing in the Storyworld segment.
Goofs[]
- In the US version of this episode during the end credits, they forgot to mention that Little Dog Fido was played by Dash.
