Trivia / Info:

Lofty the crane is the only main construction vehicle who does not appear. Wendy does not appear either. Lofty would later appear in Adios, Handy Manny, while Wendy would later appear in Bob Can't Fix It.
Four famous catchphrases from Bob the Builder are heard: "Rock and Roll!" "Can we fix it?" "Yes, we can!" and "No prob, Bob!"
Tom Root's voice for Roley sounds like an American version of Roley's UK voice.
If you count the Bob The Builder episodes this would be the fith where Spud Is seen without His nosé the first Time was in Scary Spud the second was in Scoop Has Some Fun the third Time was in Bob's Hide and the fourth Time was in Travis' Busy Day
Bob And Spud Were The Only Two Characters To Be Attacked

Goofs / Nitpicks:

Scoop is a backhoe loader, so the scoop would normally be on the other end and there would be a loader at the front and his face should also be on the front.
Pilchard is violet in this sketch (she was periwinkle in the original show).
Muck is originally a dump truck with caterpillar tracks and a bulldozer blade, but he appears as a bulldozer in this sketch. (Early US descriptions of him/her referred to him/her as a bulldozer)
In the original show, Spud's eyes look the same as Bob's. In this sketch, his eyes are different from Bob's. Spud also had a parsnip for a nose in the original show. In this sketch, his nose was a carrot.
After Pilchard starts attacking one of the union workers, Bob drills another with a drill and makes blood spill all over his face. But when Spud starts hitting him with a shovel, the blood on Bob’s face is gone.
Dizzy's head is completely rectangular (like her basis) when it should be semi-circle shaped with a thin neck.
Not exactly a goof, but still pretty interesting to note, Roley's body is much more squareish, which is coincidentally similar to his original concept art, which was released online 11 years after this sketch aired. He also cannot spin his eyes around like on the show, instead he just rolls his eyes, likely due to limitations with this model compared to his model on the actual show.
