Now I don't want to say anything about women drivers, but unfortunately the driver who causes the towering inferno (see what I did there?) in this episode does not do much to disprove that stereotype.
Still, it's a fine example of Darwinism on display here!

I've not seen this episode, but having delved into the behind-the-scenes aspect of it, I'm disappointed we didn't get the Harryhausen-esque giant crustacean, tarantula and reptile in place of the Komodo dragons.
If only Lew Grade was willing to fork out a bit more money...

Each Action Figure has a chip in their feet to plug into the 4 ports on the Playset, which are on the Flight Deck, Sproggle’s navigation console, the Kitchen and the Engine Room. Each separate Action Figure has 4 different phrases that they say whenever they’re plugged into the port.

I know this is slightly bending the rules a bit, as they don't exist (yet), but a few years ago, my friend Jack Williams and I came up with the idea that, if Lavender Castle did get a second series, it would probably have had a toy line to go with it. And this is what we came up with:

My favourite is "Raptures of the Deep". I don't exactly know why, but maybe it's because you hear Marina for the first time, or you get Troy singing the beautifully haunting Aqua Marina (courtesy of Gary Miller).
I do wonder just what is going on inside that subconscious of Troy's though...

I haven't sat down and watched this film properly - but I'd be interested in what the other six episodes Gerry and George Heinemann planned would have been like.
If the series was designed to teach children about science through adventure, what other scientific concepts would we have learnt about?

The lyric refers to 10-67, a police radio code used to notify death - and the lyric itself is Skrilla's omniscient narrator playing innocent during a traffic stop - which also lines up with the other lyrics describing gun violence.

There's a song called "Doot Doot" by a rapper called Skrilla, in which he raps "I know he dyin' (oh my, oh my God) 6-7, I just bipped right on the highway". It's used a lot on TikTok for video edits of basketball players, like LaMelo Ball, who is - you guessed it - 6 foot 7.
