Trivia
- Some TV guide sources incorrectly list this episode airing in July 1999 for the UK.
- The scenes in this episode are seen in the book by the Nick Jr. Book Club series, "Dizzy and Muck work it out".
- This episode was adaptated into a storybook under the title Dizzy's Mix-up.
- This is the first episode to have the following:
- Mrs. Potts gets the following statues:
- Two Dancing Fairies

- There are several differences between the UK and US Scripts.
- In the US, the team are fitting traffic posts at City Hall (US name for Town Hall), whereas in the UK, they are fitting bollards for the Town Hall.
- When Bob and Scoop panic and scream, the voices aren't synced in the US, but surprisingly are in the UK. To add, Muck doesn't say "Hello" when Dizzy says "Hi there." in the US dub. Also, when Bob arrives at Mrs. Potts' house and notices the bollards, in the US, he says "Oh no!", while he says "Bollards" in the UK, which can be mistaken, embarrassingly as a form of swearing.
- This episode marks the only mentioned appearance of Spud.
- This episode was paired with Muck's Sleep-Over (Series 3) when it first premiered in North America and Latin America.
- This episode was paired with Pilchard in a Pickle (Series 1) when it first premiered on PBS in the US.
UK/US Script Differences
- Scene 1:
- UK: "Bollards"
- US: "Oh no!"
