Trivia
- Despite airing in 2003, this episode was produced in 2002 according to the UK credits.
- Bob wears the same shirt he wore in Bob's Day Off (Season 3) and Wendy's Surprise Party (Season 5).
- Bob never wears his hardhat or work uniform in this episode.
- Lofty oddly does not say his usual catchphrase when Scoop says "Can we fix it?".
- This episode may take place before Mr. Ellis' Art Exhibition (Season 7) as Spud says he never won a prize before even though he did in the mentioned episode.
- Oddly, that episode was aired after this episode on PBS.
- This episode is somewhat a sequel to Bob's Day Off (Season 3).
- This episode was paired with Mr. Bentley's Trains (Season 8) when it was shown in Canada and Latin America.
- This episode was later paired with the TV premieres of Lofty the Artist (Season 8) and Molly's Fashion Show (Season 8) when the series moved to PBS in the US in 2005.
- During the late 2000's, this episode was paired with Mr. Bentley's Trains (Season 8) on Sprout on weekend airings only.
Goofs
- This episode is shown on the Dizzy's Favorite Adventures (2004) home release, but Dizzy only plays a minor role and this one focuses on Bob. Dizzy the Sheepdog (Season 7) would have been a more appropriate episode to include in its place.
