Trivia
- This is the first episode to involve visual effects, a glare of light appearing as the artist walks down the step in slow-motion.
- Mr. Mockney mistakenly refers to Scoop as Scoot.
- This is the only time Scoot is acknowledged in Ready Steady Build and the only time she is mentioned.
- This episode was paired with Roley's Rovers when it first premiered in the US.
Goofs
- It is shown that Scoop meets Mr. Mockney in this episode, but he has previously met him in “Scratch's Hidden Treasures”.
- Scoop says that Scrambler was right about him being a digger and not an artist, but Scrambler does not speak in the episode. It was actually Dizzy who first questioned Scoop being an artist.
Quotes
- Scoop: Wow! That's one of David Mockney's paintings!
- Dizzy: Brilliant! Isn't it?
- Scoop: And look at that! He runs this museum, and knows all about the old things inside it.
- Dizzy: He made the sculpture, too.
- Scoop: Imagine being good at all those things. All I can do is dig.
- Dizzy: (trying to cheer Scoop up) David Mockney is brilliant at lots of things, Scoop. But I bet he's not brilliant at digging. (laughs softly)
- Scoop: Yeah, maybe.
- Scoop: I'm going to be a great artist! Just like Mr. Mockney!
- Dizzy: But, Scoop, you're a brilliant digger. Why do you need to be an artist, too?
- Scoop: Well, maybe I don't want to be (a little note of discontent crept in his heart and voice) just a digger!
- (machines gasp with shock)
- (They cannot believe their ears and what Scoop just said!!)
- Muck: But Scoop, you LOVE being a digger!
- Scoop: Yeah? But it doesn't mean I can't be good at something else, too!
