But Mr Jensen has a plan. He convinced Elly's dad Robert that the tree is a risk and needs to be cut down. Elly's brothers are excited: a real chainsaw in action in their own backyard!
But Elly won't have any of it, and she has a plan too. She lays siege to her family's only bathroom and won't come out until her tree is safe.

- Although the first episode to be broadcast, this was not the first one to be filmed (Half-time was)
- In reality, the Bartons' house is located at 5 Copnal Court, Glen Waverley. Mr. Jensen's house really is next door, at No. 6. Read more about the filming locations on the Filming Locations page.
- There was no tree in the backyard of the house at 5 Copnal Court. All the scenes involving the tree were filmed by and in a tree at a different location. Some scenes included a fake tree and a fake perch. When both the house and the tree needed to be in a single shot, like in the opening shot of this episode, the tree was added in post production.
- Interior scenes were not filmed in the house; they were filmed in ABC's Ripponlea studios in Elsternwick, Victoria. Kudos to the studio designers (Frank Earley and Mem Alexander) for making it seem they weren't. If you compare the set photos to photos of the interior of the real house at 5 Copnal Court, you'll notice some similarities (loads external site).
- The title of this episode is sometimes misprinted as "The Siege of the Bartons' Bathroom", but according to the title card of the episode and the official documentation for the series, there's no "the" in front of "Bartons'".
- This episode is basically a remake of Jocelyn Moorhouse' 1986 short film of the same name. Well, there is a small difference in the name: the film is titled "The Siege of Barton's Bathroom"; while the episode is titled "The Siege of Bartons' Bathroom"; a difference of apostrophical size.
- The episode, of course, stars the new cast for the series. Only Frankie J. Holden reprises his role as "Dad" in the series. You can read more about the short film and have a look at the "Other Elly Barton" in the film's section on this site.

- This episode introduces Anita and her sister Yvonne McPherson. Vince Capaletti, Skinner and his sister Susan "Lonely Girl" Davies also appear for the first time. Anita's mom is also briefly seen.
- Barley Sugar, the cat, is owned by the Stoomph family, who lives in the next block of houses behind Elly's. What's that? You've never heard of them? Well, they're something that could have been.
- The first hint of Vince and Susan's attraction to each other is given during the photo shoot at the bird feeder. This is the set up for the next episode's subplot.
- The book that Yvonne has to read from is the 1975 novel The Eagle has Landed by Jack Higgins. It's a World War II thriller that's definitely not suited for seven year olds.
- The bird guide that Elly and Anita use to initiate the "eggs", is the 1980 A Field Guide to the Birds of Australia by Graham Pizzey and Roy Doyle. (Thanks to fellow Bartons fan Boubekeur from Algeria for this information!)
Anita and Elly proudly announce their League to the rest of the world (well… Banksiawood)

Elly and Anita meanwhile, are a two-girl cheering squad for Paul's team. Elly is primarily there to cheer on her favourite brother of course, but Anita has her own agenda. She's planning on winning over Vince's heart and eventually marry him. But unfortunately for Anita, Vince has other plans.

- This episode was filmed at the Cheltenham Oval in Melbourne, home of the Melbourne AFL club Cheltenham FNC. The oval was renamed to the Jack Barker Oval in 2008. Read more about the filming locations on the Filming Locations page.
- This is one of only two episodes that doesn't focus on Elly, although she still has a sizable subplot in this episode. The other episode is Suspected (episode 11).
- In the book, Anita falls in love with Paul after she sees him leave the field in tears. Although that particular scene is not in the episode, Anita is in love with Paul for the rest of the series.
- That missing scene should play just after Elly tries to talk sense into Anita by (teasingly) predicting that Vince and Susan will get married and "they'll have children, and not call any of them 'Anita'!".
- That scene might be my favourite from the entire series; the chemistry and timing between Olivia and Rose is brilliant.
- Additional scenes and reshoots for certain scenes where necessary and filmed at the end of the taping schedule. This brought along a problem: the kids had grown since the taping of the episode. This meant the football and cheerleading uniforms barely fit when it was time to do the reshoots.
Robert tries to convince Paul to ask the coach to let him play, as today is the final game of the season.
Elly and Anita are trapped in the boys showers as Vince and Susan are kissing each other on the other side of the wall.
Paul sneaks off the field, quitting football forever.

- The scene where Elly chases Mr Snoller around Banksiawood, was shot in the city center of Glen Waverley (Monash, Melbourne). The Monash City Counsil building can be clearly seen.
- The library where Elly follows Mr Snoller into, is the Glen Waverley branche of the Monash City Library.
- Read more about filming locations on the Filming Locations page.
- This episode marks the first appearance of the Snollers.
- All the Snollers related story lines are missing from the book, making them the only "main" characters unique to the television series.
- The people of Banksiawood call Miss Snoller "Miss India" because she's supposedly from there. In reality, she's from England and has never even been to India. Her parents did use to live in India before she was born though.
- Miss Snoller tells Elly of her desire to one day visit India, which sets up the plot for the future episode Position Vacant.
- Maureen Edwards had to put on an English accent for her role as Miss India. She's actually from New Zealand. Alan Lovett, who plays Mr Snoller, also puts on an English accent. He's Australian.

- This episode reveals Skinner does not have it easy at home, with his father's throwing him out of the house at age 7 for losing a paper round.
- The episode's title refers to the number of times "pig" was painted on Mr Jensen's bin.
- Mr Jensen's dog, Max, was found at a local pound by the production. He was not what they had in mind when they set out looking for a suitable dog, but they fell in love with him at first sight.
- In the final scene, Skinner hands Elly the paper instead of throwing it like he usually does. Is this because Skinner knows Elly convinced Mr Jensen to retract his complaint, or does he have a different reason?

- This episode's title was originally "Elly Barton Feeds The World". The draft of this episode's script that a cast member gave me still bears that title. Have a look at it here.
- The newspaper from which Elly cuts the article about Bob Geldof, is the Thursday 21 May 1987 edition of The Age, a real life Melburnian newspaper. The paper was altered by the crew for this episode; you can find out more about that here.
- The cast group shot on the back cover of the book was made during the shooting of this episode, even though this story line is not part of the book.
- The very issue of The Age that's used in this episode (see Production notes above) has another connection to C/o The Bartons: printed on page 47 of that issue, is an article on the show!03 So maybe 21 May 1987 is, as Doc Brown in Back to the Future II puts it, "a temporal junction point for the entire space-time continuum". Well that, or the crew had a few copies of the issue at hand because the show was mentioned in it. I'm going with the latter.
- Olivia's stunt double for the race was Trent Lee, who is sadly not credited. You can see a photo of Trent, dressed as Elly and next to Olivia, below.
- The writer of this episode, Shane Brennan, became executive producer and show runner for the American drama series NCIS later in life. He also created that show's spin-off, NCIS: Los Angeles.
- See the fancy new bike Skinner's riding in the last scene? I guess his paper round from Three Little Pigs paid off!

- The scenes where Elly and later Clare post the application letters, were filmed on Townsend Street, Glen Waverley. You can see the street sign in the back in Clare's scene.
- The fire station shown is Fire Station 31, at 645 Ferntree Gully Road in Glen Waverley. The fire station is still there today, but the building shown in the episode is no more. That was replaced with a bigger facility since.
- Read more about filming locations on the Filming Locations page.
- Mum's friend Angela and the fact she's a travel agent were first mentioned in Mr Snollers' Black Bag, but this is the first (and only) time we see her.
- This episode's plot originates in Miss India telling Elly she wants to visit India one day (again in Mr. Snoller's Black Bag).
- The fire truck in this episode, is a 1978 International ACCO (1810B). Just so you know. Thanks Richard!
- The red Ford Falcon GL that Robert drives is kind of a Frankenstein version according to IMCDb.org.
- There's a very good reason why Clare loves the Fire Brigade. According to her character's description, she was rescued from a fire by them when she was a child.
The kids find themselves locked out of the house as mum is out to discuss her future with Angela.

- This is the only episode where no characters other than the Bartons themselves appear. Not even Anita turns up.
- The blue dress Elly hides under her bed, is the same dress she's later forcing herself to wear in Suspected.
- This episode was partially adapted into the book's story line. The subplot of Paul smoking was omitted, leaving only the moving around. In the book, the reason why Paul's thrown out is linked to him walking off the footie field (and causing Mirandavale to win the cup); Anthony is angry at Paul because of this in the book.
- In some online sources, this episode appears to be missing from the original broadcast run in Germany, and appears to be broadcast for the first time three years after the rest of the series. The same goes for Beautiful Beetroot. I originally suspected that underage smoking was the reason for this, as both these episodes feature that as a subplot. I checked with Marika von Radvanyi, who directed the German dubs and is also a big fan of the show, but she assures me both episodes were included in the first run. So the schedules found on those sites are incomplete.

- The scenes at the camp site were filmed at the YMCA Mt Evelyn Recreation Camp, Mount Evelyn, Victoria. Read more about filming locations on the Filming Locations page.
- No frogs were harmed in the filming of this episode. There was an actual frog handler, Nick Hilligos, involved in the shooting of those scenes. The frogs were replaced by plastic molds before being squeezed.
- This is one of the episodes most people seem to remember. In my experience, the frog squeezing scenes come up whenever the show is mentioned.
- The girls in the Banksiawood Girl Guides are in reality those of the 2nd Glen Waverley Guide Company from the Glen Waverley Girl Guides.
- Guide Law No. 9, on which grounds Vivienne takes the girl's personal possessions, really is the ninth Guide Law in Australia (in 1987). Of course the law wasn't intended in the way that Vivienne uses it.
- Guide Laws differ per country by the way (you learn a lot building a site like this).
- Shelley, Vivienne's blonde side kick in charge of bubble gum and who recites Guide Law No. 9 to Elly, is played by Andree van Schaik. In real life, Andree is Olivia's best friend at school and also played in the Kaboodle episode Olivia was in.
- This episode was not adapted into the book's story line, but the events are recalled by Elly and Anita, as Vivienne's parents are amongst the prospective buyers of the Bartons' house.

- The beach scenes in this episode were filmed at Somer's Beach, Somers, Victoria, just opposite of Philip Island. Read more about filming locations on the Filming Locations page.
- It wasn't exactly beach weather when this episode's outdoor scenes were filmed; it was rather cold.
- The scene with Anita and Paul wading through the water, was filmed with a camera in a glass box. The crew was also wading through the water to shoot this scene. Everybody, except for Matt and Rosemary, was wearing suitable wading outfits…
- You just realised where this fansite got its name from, didn't you?
- Am I the only one that finds the scene where Lee forces himself on Elly difficult to watch? Admittedly, she handles it very well (and the book's version of this scene gives even more depth to her handling of it), which certainly adds to my appreciation of Elly (and Olivia's acting). But still: yikes.
- You can read a bit more about True Blue, the song that Lee sings to Elly, on the Trivia page.
- Miranda, the girl that Anthony fancies and who jokingly claims to be a mermaid, is portrayed by Rachel Friend. In a weird coincidence, Rachel portrayed a 'real' mermaid in an episode of Round The Twist, but it appears she wasn't credited.wikipedia
- Speaking of Rachel Friend: a year after she filmed Bartons on the Beach, she was cast as Bronwyn Davies in Neighbours and portrayed that character in 197 episodes between 1988 and 1990. She won the Logie for 'Most Popular Actress' in 1990. According to IMDb.com, she's still on TV occasionally.
- Additional scenes and reshoots for certain scenes where necessary and filmed at the end of the taping schedule. This brought along a problem: the kids had grown since the taping of the episode. This meant that the kids' bathers barely fit when it was time to do the reshoots.
Anita comes equipped with all the accessories needed for a fun day at the beach.
Too bad wading attire isn't part of the accessories. Here, she's just seconds away of telling Paul about her feelings when Elly interrupts them.
Unlike the other one, this interruption is quite welcome; Douglas unknowingly saves Elly from a very uncomfortable situation. This is one of the most powerful scenes in the series.

- We get our first and last glimpse of the Capaletti's house in the shot where Vince and his brothers are working on their car. The house is right across the street from the Barton's house, at 10 Copnal Court, Glen Waverley (the Barton's house is at No. 5). Read more about filming locations on the Filming Locations page.
- Someone goofed up: Olivia Harkin is not listed in the end credits of this episode. Well we can't have that now, can we? Let's fix that while we're at it:
Elly Barton
OLIVIA HARKIN
There we go; all fixed!
- Olivia celebrated her twelfth birthday during the filming of this episode. You can find a photo of her on set birthday party, along with photos of the wrapping/going away party, below!
- We've never seen the girl that gets shown around Elly's room before. But in the book, that girl is Vivienne Bone, the Emu Patrol Leader we met in Beautiful Beetroot, still sporting the wild hair style due to Elly's revenge in that episode.
In Bye Bye Bartons it seems a bit random that the girl mentions that Elly's goldfish probably has diseases. But knowing Vivienne calls Elly "Disease" in Beautiful Beetroot, it makes much more sense.
- The series was originally going to end with a different episode called Street Party. For unknown reasons, that screenplay was replaced by Bye Bye Bartons. See What could've been for more information.
Who would be interested in a house described like this?
Strangers in Elly's bedroom. In the book, this girl is Vivienne Bone (from Beautiful Beetroot).
