Production notes

"Originally Rover had drawn some cars in the middle of this image with sugar-lift, but Queenie, Paddy and Allan all laughed at him so he ordered us to wipe them off, so he could start again. Also the original blue (much brighter than Rover had chosen) was changed later by someone!". Frenack Gohier 2006
