Trivia[]
- Since the series was produced in France, it included some characters especially made for the country, such as Little Miss Prim in 'Mr Cheerful Doffs His Hat' and Little Miss All-goes-Well in 'That's Enough, Little Miss Bossy'. The French version also had lyrics to the theme tune, as well as a selection of episodes being novelised in France, which became a set of books by Adam Hargreaves, available in England in 2014.[2]
- The specials were not produced by Marina Productions; instead, the 1991 special was produced by Flicks Films Ltd. for TV-am and Mr. Films, while the educational special was produced by Abbey Home Entertainment and released on videocassette in 1992.
- The episode "Hello, Pizza Express?" is Mr. Busy's own episode; his name is not mentioned on the title card.
- Mr. Snow is the only character who doesn't appear in the series (if one does not count The Christmas Letter).
