-For this episode 21 characters (including all [[Alfred's brothers and sisters]] were designed by [[Harald Siepermann]] and [[Hans Bacher]], based on the script outline by [[Herman van Veen]]. Several other characters appear, for example [[Dolf's mother]], but her Character model sheet is labelled as Episode 5 and 6, even though she does not appear in those. Other characters not included in designs specifically linked to this episode are [[Willem Bij]] and his family who appear in the second cut of the episode. They were originally designed for Episodes 7 and 22. Another character remains unnamed, but the character design sheet calls this character [[De Duizendpoot]] (the centipede) which shows up walking by when Alfred is sitting in the clog with his brothers and sisters.
-Also a character design for a young [[Hannibal Nijlpaard]] appears in the original line up, who at some stage of the production might've been part of the story. Character model sheets for [[Big]], [[Hannes Snater|Hannes]] and [[Wannes Snater|Wannes]] are also linked to this episode (as they are linked to episodes 1-6), but do not appear in the episode, nor in the line up.
