Goofs[]

Even though we hear Pat pull his van door shut, we can clearly see that it is not shut properly and is edging slowing open again whilst Pat is checking Meera's parcel.
Charlie is only meant to collect the letters from Pat if Bill, the oldest student, is off school.
When all the children do the Bollywood dance, Bill‘s eyebrows are missing.
Right at the very end of the episode, Nisha says "1, 2" without moving her lips.
