== Behind the scenes ==
=== Lost in translation ===
Norwegian speakers have noted several real world difficulties with the name.
* Despite actor pronunciation in the episodes featured, it is actually pronounced "Dorli Ulv-Stranden".
* The adjective "dårlig" can be translated as "poor in quality" or "feeling bad; as in feeling sick", rather than the context the Bad Wolf entity entails. A better translation would be "Slem ulv-bukten"
* Strand actually means "beach" or "seacoast" not "bay".
* Thus, "Dårlig Ulv Stranden" translates as "Poor wolf-beach"
