Trivia
- A working title for this episode was "Buster 1 Moles 0", although that title is listed on Virgin TV Anytime's website.
- Stock footage from Toby's Windmill is used.
- When Buster flattens the molehills, one of the shots is mirrored.
Goofs
- How did Thomas get back to the yards so quickly?
- The title is misleading as the episode is mainly focused on Buster.
- It seems illogical that there was no work for Buster anywhere on the Island.
- Surely the football coach would have noticed the molehills earlier and told Miss Jenny about it.
- The track near the football field should have had a buffer stop. Thomas could have come off the rails there.
- How could the moles speak or wear hats, scarves, and glasses?
