We Love You, Wembley

There was a mid-season break during the recording of the first season. The first twelve episodes were recorded between March and August 1982; the remaining twelve were recorded six months later, between February and May 1983. During this break, the Gobo puppet was redesigned. He got a haircut and the shape of his face changed, and he also got a new vest and shirt. Ma Gorg also received a face-lift and a new hairstyle during the break.

In the French version, Doc researches the lineage of Madame Pontaven in a book of peerage, hoping to recreate her family crest. He uses Croquette in the endeavor, while ignoring his dog's own needs, by having him steady ladders, fetch tools, and even pose with a cumbersome horn, so Doc can paint the unicorn on the crest. A phone call from a man asking to use Croquette for commercial purposes reminds Doc of how important his canine friend is to him. Meanwhile, in a postcard similar to the North American version, Uncle Matt discovers ice cream. Instead of using it as his personal moss pack, however, he generously plants a scoop on the head of the nearest man and ends up fleeing from an angry crowd.
