Notes

• The audio is overlaps on some versions of the Strand Home Video release and the Video Treasures release. The DVD has intro, nameboards, and most episodes fixed with only Daisy still echoed.
• The 1993 and 1994 front covers feature a promotional image from Daisy's nameboard sequence.
• This was one of two US DVDs to feature an animated version of the 2008 Anchor Bay Entertainment logo, the other being Trackside Tunes.
• The end credits on the VHS/DVD were reused on George Carlin tape and DVD of Thomas Gets Tricked & Other Stories.
• The Target exclusive version featured a watery pouch behind the transparent image of the front cover. It also came in a clear glass-style DVD case.
• This is the last new Thomas tape to have the Strand Home Video branding on the box.
• The DVD release uses the Season 3 intro, however, the audio is from the Season 4 intro.
• The picture on the 1995 release is mirrored.
• Some of the 1995 Anchor Bay tapes have the Strand Home Video logo instead of the Video Treasures logo.
• The episode Thomas Comes to Breakfast is shown before Daisy since the events in the former happened before the latter episode.
• Whistles and Sneezes will be included in Tenders & Turntables and Tender Engines will be included in Thomas Gets Bumped.
• On the back cover of the DVD release, an image from Thomas' Day Off is used.
• A rare prototype cover of the VHS shows Daisy's nameboard.
• Ringo Starr is the narrator because these are all second season episodes, which he has narrated in the UK and US.
• The Video Treasures release from 1995 features George Carlin as the narrator.
• The 1993 front cover has the long cloud logo like the first 8 volumes.

Goofs

• The description says "See what happens when Percy ends up to his funnel in water…", but the water only went up to his face.
• After the credits, the Strand Home Video logo is missing at the end.
