💡 Did You Know?

The titles on this episode differ from those used in other episodes of this season. The opening theme music starts later in the sequence, it lacks the narration and demonstration of the boomerang's power, shows the full names of all credited crew members and uses different music over the credits, and the closing "The End" card is shown over a boomerang graphic, uses a different font, has the text zooming in before the company credit appears, only credits Pacific Film Productions without any mention of either Melbourne (where the company was based) or the associated companies, and is accompanied by the narrator announcing the series title.
