Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s01e17 Episode Script
Percy Runs Away (Part 3) (7 min)
Henry, James and Gordon had been shut up for being naughty and longed to be let out again.
The Fat Controller arrived.
"l hope you see you aren't so important.
"A new tank engine and Thomas and Edward have worked the lines "but you can come out if you are good.
" "Yes, sir, we will be.
" "But this 'no shunting' nonsense must stop.
" He told Percy, Edward and Thomas to play on the branch line for a few days.
They ran off to find Annie and Clarabel.
The two coaches were so pleased to see Thomas again.
Edward and Percy played with trucks.
"Stop!" they screamed.
But the engines went on shunting till the trucks were tidily arranged.
Edward took some trucks to the quarry.
Percy didn't mind being alone.
He was cheeky to the others.
"Hurry!" he called, and they got cross.
After a lot of shunting, he waited for the signalman to set the points.
He wasn't paying attention.
Edward warned Percy, "Whistle to the signalman.
" But Percy forgot.
Percy waited.
The points were set so he couldn't move.
He looked and whistled in horror.
Rushing towards him was Gordon with the express! "Ooh!" groaned Gordon.
"Get out of my way!" (Brakes screeching) Percy opened his eyes.
Gordon had stopped inches away.
Percy moved.
"l won't stay here - l'll run away.
" He went straight through Edward's station and up Gordon's hill.
He was tired but couldn't stop.
He had no driver to apply the brakes.
"l want to stop!" he puffed.
The signalman saw Percy was in trouble so set the points.
Percy puffed wearily onto a siding and a bank of earth.
He was too tired to care.
"l want to stop!" "l have stopped," he puffed thankfully.
"Never mind," said the workmen, "Have a drink and some coal.
" Presently, Gordon arrived.
"Well done.
You stopped a nasty accident.
" "Sorry l was cheeky", said Percy, "You were clever to stop.
" Then Gordon helped pull Percy out.
Percy is still cheeky, but he's always careful on the main line.
