Goofs
- At one point, Richard refers to Sooty, Sweep and Soo's model helicopter as a plane.
- The aeroplane that Sooty, Sweep and Soo fly is far too small for them to get inside. They could have used magic, but this is not explained in the episode.
- The background behind Wink Taylor does not change even though he is supposed to be in different countries.
- The shots of Paris, the Antarctic and India are just still photographs. You can tell because nothing moves. This is made clear during the Eiffel tower picture
- When Soo says "the mountains, the ocean, Sweep...", she sounds distant and her voice seems to have more of an echo.
