Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s11e17 Episode Script
Thomas and the Runaway Car
The Island of Sodor is surrounded by beautiful blue sea.
It has fields of green and sandy yellow beaches.
There are rivers, streams and trees where birds sing.
There are windmills and a coal mine and docks where visitors to the island arrive.
The island also has lots of railway lines.
Who's that puffing down the track? It's Thomas! Hello, Thomas! "Hello, everybody! Welcome to the Island of Sodor.
" It was a beautiful day on the Island of Sodor.
Thomas was feeling especially happy.
He was on his way to Brendham Docks to collect a special Special.
It was the day of the Sodor show.
The Fat Controller's new car was being unloaded.
It was in Lady Hatt's favourite colour, Hatt Blue! The Fat Controller had chosen Thomas to take the car from the docks to the Sodor show.
Thomas was so proud he thought his boiler would burst! Rocky was slowly lowering the car onto a flatbed.
"All the engines wanted this job," Thomas puffed proudly.
"The Fat Controller chose me to take the new bandstand," huffed Gordon.
"And I'm ready to go.
"I'll be first at the Sodor show!" This made Thomas cross.
"I'll deliver the Fat Controller's car before you!" Thomas whistled.
"Pah!" snorted Gordon.
And he chuffed off grandly.
"Hurry up, Rocky!" puffed Thomas.
"I must be careful.
And you must wait!" said Rocky.
But Thomas didn't want to wait.
At last, the car was on the flatbed.
"Hooray!" tooted Thomas.
Thomas pumped his pistons, ready to race.
He didn't wait for the dockmen to connect the couplings.
He steamed off, pushing the Fat Controller's new car.
"Wait, Thomas!" called Rocky.
"Wait!" called the dockmen.
But Thomas had a race to win.
And no time to lose.
"I'll show Gordon who's the fastest!" Tooted Thomas.
The children cheered as he puffed past.
"I'm on my way to the Sodor show!" He chuffed cheerfully.
The fastest way to the Sodor show was to puff over Gordon's Hill.
Thomas's axles tingled and his wheels trembled.
"Whee!" he gasped.
And then, "Whoa!" The Fat Controller's new car slid away from Thomas and down the other side of the hill.
"Oh, no!" cried Thomas.
And he raced after the runaway car.
Percy was waiting.
Arthur puffed slowly into a siding.
He had heavy wagons of fish.
"Look out, Arthur!" Arthur's wheels spun as he raced straight into the buffers.
The fish shot into the air.
"Oh, no!" cried Arthur.
Just then, Thomas chased through the junction.
"Sorry, Arthur!" he gasped.
I have to keep up with the runaway car! The runaway car raced on.
Thomas puffed harder and harder.
Ahead, there were works on the track.
Thick mud was everywhere! Rosie had just left the wash-down.
Suddenly, she saw the runaway car racing towards her.
"Oh, no!" cried Rosie.
Rosie was covered in mud.
"Sorry, Rosie!" tooted Thomas.
And he raced off.
The car sped towards a junction.
Gordon was waiting with the bandstand.
Then there was trouble.
"Oh, no!" cried Thomas.
Gordon was surprised.
"I told you I'd get to the Sodor show first.
" And he puffed proudly away.
Thomas huffed up to the haystack.
"Cinders and ashes!" he cried.
"I've lost the race!" The Fat Controller's car won't be at the Sodor show on time! Thomas felt terrible! "I must go back to the docks for Rocky.
" Thomas pumped his pistons, then he stopped.
"But I'm not strong enough to pull Rocky on my own.
" Gordon puffed proudly back down the line.
He had won the race and delivered the bandstand.
"Gordon, I need your help!" Gordon could see that Thomas was upset.
Would you go and collect Rocky? It needs a strong engine like you.
Gordon liked everyone to know he was strong.
He also liked to help his friend Thomas.
So Gordon raced to the docks.
Gordon collected Rocky.
He steamed back as fast as he could.
Thomas was happy to see Gordon chuff up with Rocky.
This time, Thomas waited patiently as Rocky lifted the Fat Controller's car out of the haystack.
Thomas wanted to thank Gordon.
"Gordon, would you like to deliver the car?" Gordon knew that delivering the new car was the most important job on the island.
"Thank you, Thomas," he smiled to his friend.
This time there was no race.
The two friends arrived together at the show.
The Fat Controller and Lady Hatt were very pleased to see their brand new Hatt Blue car.
Everyone clapped and cheered.
And Thomas cheered loudest of all.
