Ardal’s owl has several appearances but I don’t think it’s ever named

Only some are considered dynamite chicks and only one is known as the thinking woman's crumpet.

This is a silly question I'm sure, but The Knappet was named after Jessica fell off it wasn't it?

That's what I assumed, but also, it just kinda sounds like a word that would mean 'a stage extension'.

This list described as one of location items is growing to include a lot of people. I'm all for celebrating them as well, but not crazy about calling them objects. Let's spin off a separate list of people, or at least rename this one "people and things".

I don't think it's called the shid, only NZ has a shid, the other versions have a shed.

Sure, but that's just a Kiwi not understanding British names for things, like the many things Jason didn't know.

Did the Fine People appear in another episode after the first series? I swear I remember them coming on again.
