Extra Information

• Higgledy House was filmed in or around a house in Fortis Green

  , London. The same house is used for each episode, except the episode titled "Camcorder", where a different and smaller back garden is used.
• Some people wonder if Sarah-Jane and Justin are meant to be friends or a couple within the series. They are most likely to be just friends, as in the episode titled "Bedtime", you see they don't share a bedroom - although in the same episode they are both seen to be secretly pleased after accidentally kissing each other.
