Goofs

    • Jack is mistakenly called "Jake" in the description for Jack Goes to Work.
    • Britt Allcroft and David Mitton are incorrectly credits for writing the episodes.
    • Britt Allcroft is also credited as the producer instead of Phil Fehrle.
    • The episodes are mistakenly credited as being made in 1998 instead of 2002.
    • The disclaimer "Please note that these episodes have been previously released on other Thomas and Friends videos" is featured. However, this is in fact the first Australian home media release to contain these episodes.
    • The DVD version paired with Surprise Adventures incorrectly lists the approximate time of the CD as 30 minutes, but the duration of the CD is 42 minutes and 45 seconds.
