Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s17e23 Episode Script

No More Mr Nice Engine

No Snow For Thomas.
It was wintertime on the island of Sodor.
The wind was cold and it looked like it would snow very soon.
So all the engines had to wear their snowploughs.
Hello, Edward.
All ready for the snow? Oh, yes, Percy! Better to be safe than sorry.
But Thomas didn't like wearing his snowplough.
So he puffed into a siding and did something very cheeky.
I can leave my snowplough here and pretend I can't find it.
So Thomas played a trick on his driver.
He told him that the snowplough didn't fit and had to be removed.
Now I won't have to wear it any more! Thomas puffed back to Tidmouth Sheds.
Thomas, where's your snowplough? I can't find it.
If it snows, I'll just have to go out without it.
That night, it did snow.
The island of Sodor was soon covered in a thick blanket of fresh white snow.
And when the engines puffed off to work the next morning, they were all wearing their snowploughs, all except Thomas.
The Fat Controller was not happy.
Thomas, as you don't have your snowplough, you will have to wait in the shed.
It is too dangerous to go out without it.
Very well, sir.
Emily, since you have your snowplough, you must clear Thomas's branch line for him.
Yes, sir.
Thomas was delighted.
I don't have to wear my snowplough! Emily was cross.
She wasn't snug and warm.
She was clearing snow on Thomas's branch line.
It's not fair! Why do I have to wear a silly snowplough and Thomas doesn't? Then she heard some children laughing.
They're probably laughing at me because I look so silly with my snowplough on.
This made Emily even more cross.
But as Emily cleared the tracks, she saw the children playing in the snow.
Some were playing on sleds and some were rolling great big snowballs.
Oh! The children aren't laughing at me.
They're just having fun in the snow.
Maybe the snow can be fun after all.
Thomas was still in the shed.
It seemed like a very long day.
Oh.
At least I don't have to wear my snowplough, like Emily.
Whoo-hoo! But Emily was having a great time now.
Yay! She was having so much fun, she cleared the tracks in no time.
Emily, as you have done such a good job clearing the tracks, you can take Annie and Clarabel out on Thomas's branch line.
Oh, thank you, sir! Emily was very pleased.
Back at Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas was very bored.
I wish I had something to do.
I don't know why you don't like your snowplough, Thomas.
- Clearing snow is great fun! - Really? And now I get to take Annie and Clarabel out on your branch line.
Thomas was very surprised.
But they're my coaches! That's my job! You can't go out today, Thomas, not without your snowplough.
Thomas watched as Emily was coupled up to Annie and Clarabel.
See you later, Thomas.
Bye, Thomas.
Hope your snowplough turns up soon.
Thomas wasn't happy at all.
He wished he could go out in the snow with Annie and Clarabel.
Then Thomas had an idea.
If I get my snowplough, the Fat Controller will let me pull Annie and Clarabel.
So Thomas puffed quietly away.
Thomas looked for the siding where he had left his snowplough.
But none of the sidings had been cleared.
They were all covered in snow.
They all looked the same.
Oh, no! The snow has covered up my snowplough and hidden it! Thomas didn't want to go back to the shed.
He wanted to pull Annie and Clarabel in the snow.
Maybe I don't need my snowplough.
After all, Emily has cleared my line.
So Thomas puffed away to find Emily.
Then there was trouble.
It started to snow again.
I must find Emily.
I must find Emily Thomas puffed as hard as he could through the falling snow.
But the snow was getting thicker and thicker and soon Thomas was well and truly stuck.
Oh, no! The snow kept falling.
It got higher and higher! Oh, help! I wish I hadn't hidden my snowplough now.
Thomas thought he would be stuck all day and all night.
His footplate was frosty and his funnel was freezing.
Oh.
No one will ever find me here.
Then Thomas heard some chuffing and puffing.
I wonder who that could be.
Emily! Hello, Thomas! I'm so pleased to see you.
- Thomas! What happened? - Are you stuck? We went to look for you in the shed, but you weren't there.
The Fat Controller looked cross.
Thomas, you were told not to go out without your snowplough! I'm sorry, sir.
I hid my snowplough and now I can't find it anywhere.
That's why we've been looking for you.
We found your snowplough buried in the snow.
Thank you, Emily! Sorry, sir.
Thomas was very happy to have his snowplough back.
From now on, I'll always wear my snowplough when it snows.
I'm glad you've learned your lesson, Thomas.
Tomorrow you can clear the tracks for Emily.
But before that, I've got something to show you.
Follow me.
Thomas and Emily puffed through the snow.
And soon they arrived at the field where the children were playing.
Wow! Look at all those snowmen.
I think that one looks very smart! Very smart indeed, sir! A snowman needs a hat in this weather.
Oh! Clearly, I must try to keep my hat on as well!
