GoofsEdit

The 1995 VHS description mentioned Daisy, but she doesn't appear in any episodes featured on the release.
The 1995 VHS does not display any home video logo (Video Treasures logo was still being used as Anchor Bay didn't have an on-screen logo yet), and starts off with the Britt Allcroft logo.
On the cover of the 2002 VHS release, an image Bertie is mirrored.
In the captions, Bertie is misspelled as Burty.
