Trivia

Master slate of Episodio 2.

• Episodes did not originally have proper titles. A master copy of Episode 2 was linked in an article discussing the series and Los Wiggles brand on YouTube; when downloaded, a card containing some technical information is viewable in certain video players, which reveals the title at the time of production was "Episode 2" (the name of the file itself also simply calls it "Ep02"). It's believed that the episode titles given on YouTube were created at the time of the YouTube release.
• According to a 2007 interview with Pablo Munoz, The Wiggles' risk and quality assurance manager at the time, the series was originally intended to be launched in 2006; however, it was delayed due to issues involving translations.
• This was the first series to feature updated guitar strap designs, specifically glitter music notes.
• The song clips featuring the inflatable Wigglehouse set were filmed at Sydney Entertainment Centre.
  • This also applies to any song clips featured in "Concierto Wiggly" segments, It's rumored that they were supposed to film an actual concert, but that it was scrapped due to budget issues.
  • The audience cheering sound effect was reused from LIVE Hot Potatoes! and would later be used in Wiggle Pop! Big Show.
• As revealed by the same card above, episodes were produced in 2005, with Episode 2's post-production being completed on 12 December 2005.
• Footage originally filmed for this series was repurposed for Series 2 of The Wiggles Show!. For example, shots of the Wiggly Friends in Having Fun At The Beach. In addition, the music video for Big Red Boat, as well as introductory segments from Splish Splash Big Red Boat were filmed during and/or after the production of this series, as it uses the set originally constructed for this series (resembling the Sailing Around the World Live! stage) and the Big Red Boat vehicle itself has the English words removed off the side as it does in this series, same as the Big Red Car.
• Some song introductions are based off the 1998 versions of Yummy Yummy, Wiggle Time and even the Big Red Car remake at the time Here Comes the Big Red Car, while others were exclusively written for the series.
  • This would also be the case for the Mandarin Wiggles series.
• The Australian Wiggles were involved helping with this series production, mostly as executive producers, although in Episodio 1, Anthony made a brief cameo with his wife Miki and daughter Lucia.
• The Various Wiggly Dancers who appeared in the Latin American TV Series appeared in the English version of Big Red Boat, including Jennifer Taipari, Mario Martinez-Diaz, Marcela Balart and Yarima Herrera appearing alongside Paul Paddick.
• Some of the episodes had segments, or even entire storylines, that changed certain Australian terms to ones more fitting for a Latin American audience and Hispanic traditions, for example:
  • In Episodio 4, the focus shifts to playing mariachi music instead of bluegrass, particularly after the Pirate Radio is broken.
