Trivia[]
- This was first and only time that a non-firefighter has driven Jupiter (Until Flex Dexter did it in Set for Action!). It was driven by Norman Price on this occasion.
- Ironically, this episode was foreshadowed by Norman in the previous series episode Open Day, making this the first episode to be hinted out from an earlier episode.
Goofs[]
- At the end of the episode when James, Sarah and Mandy are receiving their firefighter's badges, Venus' lights are white instead of blue.
- In reality, Norman wouldn't have been able to make Jupiter move by just hitting the accelerator, he would've had to switch Jupiter out of gear and disengage the handbrake.
- When Norman turns on Jupiter, he turns the key from his right, but when he turns off Jupiter, he turns the key from his left.
