Goofs

• The film is copyrighted 1996 on the back cover, but the episodes are copyrighted 1984, 1986 and 1991, respectively.
• The intros for Bertie's Chase, Thomas Comes to Breakfast and No Joke for James are slightly cut off.
• The outro for Bertie's Chase is cut off entirely.
• When the intro for Percy takes the Plunge begins, the audio pitch changes for a few seconds before going back to normal. This is most likely due to reusing the Roadshow master tapes.
