Trivia

Carlton Home Video issued many video cassettes in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Although the television series was genuinely well received, ITV decided to cut the series in 1999 due to the rival show Bananas in Pyjamas, which received higher ratings. Even though the series ended in 1999, CITV continued to air the show until January 2000.[2]
