Goofs[]

  • Although "Narrator - Ian Carmichael" is credited on the cover, Ian Carmichael does not narrate any of the episodes on this video, as these episodes are from the "Oh, Mr Toad!" spin-off series where Toad himself starts the episodes off with what he says in his diary that he has with him in bed during the start of every episode.
