Trivia[]
- This is the first episode to get Season 14 in the UK airing.
- This is the first of only two episodes to feature the edited sketch of the Lion and Bear, the other episode was Dragonflies.
- In addition, These two episodes, this one and Dragonflies are the only Lion and Bear episodes permitted for rerun on CBeebies, following the 2002 ban on all episodes featuring the original sketch, which was deemed too frightening for young viewers.
- This episode is also known as Asian Storyteller 2.
- The Asian Storyteller: The Fox video was featured in the VHS What's That?
- The last appearance of Vinata Godbole.
- In the Mandarin Chinese version, instead of the complete edited sketch, a hybrid of the original edited sketches is shown for the first third and the rest is the original sketch. Also, when it shows the edited sketch, half of the time it’s the original sketch audio is used with the edited sketch video. But occasionally it switches to the English dub of the edited sketch. There is no explanation on why this was happening.
- In the Mandarin Chinese version, after the Windmill stops spinning, a fade effect is not used between the scene of the Windmill and the Voice Trumpet rising. This also occurs in Snowy Story, Irish Dancing, Tropical Fish, Colours - Brown, Dragonflies (Mandarin Chinese version), Hedgehogs (Korean version) and the US Versions of Colours - Blue and Collecting Garnets (Namibia).
- This is the last episode where The Lion and Bear happens straight after the TV event.
- Laa-Laa was the boo shouter. Po was the boo shouter in the Mandarin Chinese version.
- Tinky Winky was the missing Teletubby.
