Trivia
This episode contains numerous allusions to Dad's (Bandit's) job as an archaeologist. His office contains several bones and even a dog skull and what appears to be a doggy-Maori mask. He also plays "Raiders" with the girls, having them run down a hallway while he rolls a giant rock (yoga ball) in a clear reference to Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Throughout the series, Bandit quotes Indiana Jones and makes multiple allusions to him (presumably since both characters are archaeologists).

Mum saves the day

This is a strong episode with some recognisable aspects of parenthood, particularly for a parent who has worked from home.

I have two daughters (who both wrecked my back as babies) who are a few years apart and it is sometimes easy to get carried away during the rough and tumble of physical play. I empathised with Bingo and Bandit during this situation. Anytime I accidentally knock one of mine during a game, I feel awful. I also like how Chilli takes control of the situation. Sometimes that voice of reason is necessary to help the fun continue in a sensible way.

Naturally I loved the Indiana Jones references and all the yoga ball gags.
