## Mistakes

* On the cover and the label, the video's entitled Fireman Sam: Spot of Bother and Five Other Stories, but it should be entitled Fireman Sam: Dilys's Forgetful Day and Five Other Stories.
* Because on the back of the cover, it lists Dilys's Forgetful Day as the first episode and Spot of Bother as the second episode and when you watch the video, it's Dilys's Forgetful Day which's broadcast as the first episode and Spot of Bother which's broadcast as the second episode.

## Trivia

* On the original release, the slide for this video, Treasure Hunt, Norman's Tricky Day and Bentley The Robot doesn't appear at the start of the video for unknown reasons and instead, there's 10 seconds of a black screen before the title card for Fireman Sam: Spot of Bother appears.
* However, later re-releases do contain the slide for this video, Treasure Hunt, Norman's Tricky Day and Bentley The Robot before the title card for Fireman Sam: Spot of Bother at the start of the video.
* The content of these episodes on this video are from regular TV broadcasts with new yellow title logos added exclusively to this video and the Bumper Films copyright credit is only featured at the end of the final episode on the video that is "*Lost Cat*".
