Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode of the second series of Boohbah.
  • Auntie and Little Dog Fido don't appear in this episode.
  • Every time Grandmamma or the other Storypeople turn off the light, there are stars, but every time they turn the light back on, the stars suddenly disappear.
  • Grandmamma gets mad every time the other Storypeople turn on the light and the stars disappear.
  • When each Storyperson shows up with the light off, they're glowing.
  • After the Storyworld segment ends, the kids off-screen only say "Boohbah" once instead of twice.
  • In the present giving segment, the music starts playing for a few seconds before the kids shout "Boohbah!" This also happens in "Little White Cloud".
  • When Grandmamma turns off the light using the light switch to make it look like it's nighttime, all the stars she collects and the moon for the other Storypeople are made from tinfoil, and her jumps when she grabs them, the stars glowing and floating in the sky, and the light switch in thin air are all computer-animated.
