Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s11e22 Episode Script
Sir Handel in Charge
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.
Sir Handel is one of the oldest engines in the hills of Sodor.
He knows a lot of things.
And sometimes he can be rather grand.
He enjoys telling the other engines what to do.
And because he is a wise engine, the other engines do as he tells them.
One morning, Sir Handel puffed into the transfer yards.
James was waiting.
"I have to take the Thin Controller to a meeting with the Fat Controller," snorted James.
Just then, Mr Percival arrived.
He was late and he was worried.
"Sir Handel!" gasped Mr Percival.
"There's an important special today.
"I'd like you to be in charge of it.
" "Yes, sir!" chuffed Sir Handel.
He liked the idea of being in charge.
Now he could tell the others what to do.
"Workmen must be picked up and taken to the forest," Mr Percival said.
Sir Handel was excited.
"The trucks must be filled with logs," he added.
"Then the heavy train must be delivered back here.
"Thomas is coming to collect it soon.
" "I'll find the best engines," puffed Sir Handel.
"Ask the first engines to do the special," said the Thin Controller.
Sir Handel wasn't listening.
He was thinking about telling the others what to do.
"The job must be done quickly!" Cried the Thin Controller.
"Don't worry!" Sir Handel hooted proudly.
And he puffed away.
"I'm going to have a wonderful time!" He whistled to himself.
Up ahead, Sir Handel found Mighty Mac.
He was helping workmen to lay the new track.
"I'm in charge of a very important special.
"I need an engine to pull a heavy train.
" "We can pull a heavy train!" Wheeshed Mighty.
"We're very strong!" whistled Mac.
But Sir Handel wasn't listening.
"I must find the best engines.
"You must wait here," he puffed grandly.
And he steamed off.
Next, Sir Handel found Rusty.
"I'm in charge of a very important special.
"I need someone to pick up workmen," he puffed importantly.
Rusty was very excited.
"I can collect them!" he hooted happily.
But Handel wasn't listening.
"I must find the very best engines!" He huffed.
"Wait here!" Then Sir Handel found Duncan and Peter Sam.
They were racing down some twisty tracks.
"I'm in charge of a very important special.
"I need a fast engine to take a train to Thomas at the yards," chuffed Sir Handel.
"We can pull faster than any other engine!" they puffed excitedly.
But Sir Handel wasn't listening.
"I must find the best engines," Sir Handel steamed snootily.
"You must wait here!" So the little engines pulled into a siding.
Sir Handel felt more important than ever.
Then there was trouble! Sir Handel arrived back at the transfer yards.
Thomas had arrived to collect the special.
"Where's my train?" tooted Thomas.
"Bust my buffers!" cried Sir Handel.
Sir Handel had spent so long looking for the best engines, nothing had been done.
Now he was very worried.
"Your special isn't ready," he wheeshed to Thomas.
Thomas was surprised.
"Can you find engines to start right away?" "Then I can deliver the special on time.
" This time Handel was listening carefully! He knew where all the engines were waiting.
"If I hurry, I can put the engines to work right away! "Leave it to me, Thomas!" And Sir Handel raced out of the yards.
Handel steamed over to Duncan and Peter Sam.
"Can you work on my special?" "We can pull the train to the forest!" Peeped Peter Sam.
"Faster than anyone!" added Duncan.
This time Handel was listening.
"Please start straight away!" he wheeshed.
And he raced off to find Rusty.
Rusty was still where Sir Handel had told him to wait.
"I can collect the workmen!" Hooted Rusty, "and take them to load the timber.
" "Please start straight away!" Sir Handel huffed.
Finally, Sir Handel found Mighty Mac.
"We can pull the timber train to the yards," wheeshed Mighty.
"We're the strongest!" whistled Mac.
And they steamed off.
Sir Handel had listened carefully to everyone.
Now everyone was working.
"The special will be ready after all!" He huffed.
Later, at the transfer yards, Thomas' trucks had been loaded with the timber.
Just then, James returned with the Thin Controller.
"Well done, Sir Handel!" said Mr Percival.
"Did you enjoy being in charge?" "Yes, sir!" chuffed Sir Handel.
He felt very happy.
He had listened to the other engines and now he was even wiser!
