## Trivia

* This and Mud Glorious Mud are the only releases to have George Carlin and Alec Baldwin credited in the eighth to tenth series intro as well as the only George Carlin and Alec Baldwin releases to feature the series eighth to tenth series intro, transitions and end credits.
* This marks the first DVD of a few things:
	+ The first and only time George Carlin's narration of Thomas Gets Tricked was released on DVD since it was seen on the *Shining Time Station* episode Stacy Forgets Her Name.
	+ The first Universal Studios re-release not to feature a logo after the credits end. Instead of showing the logo after the credits, it pauses and then replaces it with the Series 8 blank credits at the end. This might have been done to prevent the 2001-2006 HiT Entertainment logo from popping up.
	+ The first US DVD to feature remastered colour of fifth series episodes.
* Despite all the episodes, the song Boo! Boo! Choo-Choo and the style of the cover being from the Gullane Entertainment series, the intro and outro sequences, the transitions between episodes, the font of the title cards, the Engine Roll Call song, the credits and Robert Hartshorne's music for the episode Bad Day at Castle Loch are from the HiT Entertainment series.
* The title card for "Diesel's Devious Deed" reads "Diesel's Devilish Deed," but is still referred to by its original name on the back cover.
* The Fogman is also parsed as "The Fog Man" for this release. The 2015 re-release corrects this on the back cover.
* Emily appears on the front cover despite not appearing in any of the episodes, although she does appear in the Engine Roll Call song and the Character Gallery. Strangely enough the image of Emily is an edited promotional photo from the eighth series episode, Halloween.
* The slipcover of the 2018 re-release has a glow-in-the-dark cover that uses an outline of a CGI image of Thomas. This also marks the only re-release distributed by 9 Story Media Group, but the DVD itself is the 2015 version or the original release for some copies. This style has also been used for various other DVDs sold during Halloween from 2018.
* On the 2007 and 2008 releases, Thomas' eyebrows are more refined and darker.
* The 2008 release is the only release which shows Emily having a lamp on the cover.

## Goofs

* The credits mistake Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell as the music composers for *Bad Day at Castle Loch*; their music was replaced by Robert Hartshorne's music. The episode is also titled "**A** Bad Day at Castle Loch" in the credits.
* There appears to be a copy of Emily's image behind Thomas on the covers of some releases.
* In the credits, Robyn Charteris is credited as "Robin Charteris" and Robin Kingsland is credited as "Robert Kingsland."
* The back cover lists "2 Sing-Along Song" instead of "2 Sing-Along Song**s**."
* On the front cover Thomas' lamp appears to be cut off a bit.
