Goofs
- The jack-in-the-box is much more tilted when Sweep winds it up and it hits Richard's bottom.
- When Richard puts the lid on the creature features machine it is not properly on, but in the next shot, it is.
- In some of the shots at the North Pole, you can see fold marks on the backdrop.
- In the song Snow Time, Soo suggests that the snow is "thanks to Sooty and his magic", but it was Father Christmas who magicked the snow.
- In one shot, the entry sign, has "Cadells" on it, this is because in reality it is owned by Richard and his brother David, on television it's owned by Mr Slater, so Richard's name shouldn't be on there, unless Richard is the licensee of the park as Mr Slater isn't on location.
- It's seems very sunny for the winter months, this is because, in reality, the episode was taped in the summer of 2013.
- The sheet of felt is a lighter shade of yellow before the teddy-bears are finally manufactured.
- Before Soo put the teddy-bears into the eye machine, the ears and noses were not black but when they came out they were, even though Soo only put eyes in the machine.
