Errors[]
- Because footage from an earlier episode is used, both Little Miss Scatterbrain and Mr. Wrong can be seen among the beach goers at Seatown, before Mr. Muddle arrives there. Even though neither of them were going fishing.

- Mr. Mean who was previously seen at Seatown also appears in the audience of the skating rink.
- Little Miss Helpful also appears with a light blue bow, when she doesn't have one.
- Mr. Funny's Hat is Missing in this episode, and his gloves are also missing.
- Mr. Clumsy is also bald in this episode so is Mr. Fussy
- Little Miss Quick does not have a ribbon in the whole of the episode, not to mention she has freckles also.
- Little Miss Fickle's nose is orange in this episode instead of yellow.
- Mr. Impossible has the same colours as Mr. Clever then later has the correct colours and there are 2 Mr. Impossibles in the crowd one is pink and one has the right colours.
- While talking to Little Miss Scatterbrain on the phone at the beginning of the episode, Mr. Muddle is holding the phone the wrong way, but after getting asked to go fishing and becoming excited, he's holding the phone the right way.
- Mr. Grumpy's nose is missing in two scenes. In addition, both he and Mr. Lazy change colours later on.
