Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends (1984) s11e10 Episode Script

Thomas & the Big Bang

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.
" Thomas is a cheeky engine.
He likes to have fun with his friends.
He likes playing hide and peep with Percy.
And he enjoys joking with James.
One day, Thomas was fitted with a brand new whistle.
The whistle gleamed and Thomas beamed.
And he blew it all day long.
He blew it softly and he blew it loudly.
He blew it in stations and he blew it in Misty Valley.
Thomas thought it the most wonderful whistle he had ever had.
Thomas puffed into the wharf, with a train of empty trucks.
The Thin Controller was there.
"Thomas," he said.
"The engines are bringing bricks, flour and timber.
" "They must be loaded into your trucks by tea time.
" The Thin Controller left.
Thomas felt very happy.
So he blew his new whistle loudly! Rheneas was surprised! He jumped and biffed into his trucks.
Skarloey and Sir Handel laughed.
Even Rheneas thought it was funny.
"That was fun!" tooted Thomas.
He wanted to play more jokes and have more fun! So Thomas chuffed off to look for another engine to peep.
Later, Rusty puffed into the wharf.
He was shunting trucks full of red bricks.
They were to be unloaded into Thomas's empty trucks.
But Thomas wanted to have more fun.
He rolled up behind Rusty.
Rheneas and Skarloey held their puff.
Thomas blew his new whistle! Peep! Rusty jumped and he biffed his trucks! Rusty was covered in red brick dust! Skarloey and Rheneas both laughed.
Thomas thought it was tremendous fun.
Rusty thought it was fun, too! He wanted to join in.
"Can't catch me" hooted Rusty.
He steamed around the wharf.
Thomas puffed after him.
Everyone was laughing and having fun.
But no one collected the bricks.
Then Thomas had another idea.
"Sir Handel will be arriving with the trucks of flour soon.
"Why don't we all peep him at once?" The little engines were excited.
And they all found hiding places.
As Sir Handel puffed into the wharf, there was nobody to be seen.
"Now!" Thomas cried.
He blew his new whistle as loudly as he could.
The little engines blew their whistles, too! Sir Handel biffed his trucks in surprise! Flour flew up into the air, like a great white cloud.
"You look like a ghost!" laughed Rusty.
"Woooo!" laughed Sir Handel.
"Look at me, I'm a ghost!" And he steamed away.
Soon, all the engines were chasing each other and no one was doing any work! Thomas had another idea.
"Peter Sam is on his way! Let's peep him as well!" And the little engines agreed this was a good idea.
Peter Sam trundled into the wharf.
Thomas got ready with his whistle.
The little engines got ready, too.
"Peep!" Peter Sam shot forward.
He bashed into his flatbeds so hard, they burst through the buffers, smashed through oil drums stacked on the wharf and splashed into the canal.
"Oh, my!" cried the little engines.
"Cinders and ashes!" cried Thomas.
The Thin Controller arrived.
"What has been going on here?" He said sternly.
There are bricks all over the rails, flour all over the warehouse and now timber is in the canal! "I'm sorry, sir," wheeshed Thomas sadly.
"It's all my fault.
" "I wanted to play jokes and have fun!" The Thin Controller was very cross.
"You must clear up this mess! "And your trucks must be loaded by tea time!" As soon as the workmen had reloaded the bricks, Thomas started to work.
But the little engines wanted to play.
They wanted to wheesh the dust and flour at each other.
"No more jokes," whistled Thomas.
"We have work to do.
" And he shunted the trucks into a siding.
New trucks of flour were now ready and Thomas took them to the sidings as well.
At last, the workmen had the timber wagons ready and Thomas shunted them into the siding, too.
Finally, Thomas had one long train of bricks, flour and timber.
And it wasn't even tea time.
The Thin Controller came back.
He saw Thomas.
But Thomas was hiding his trucks.
"Where are your trucks?" he said crossly.
Thomas smiled, he was playing a trick! He puffed forward slowly.
"Here they are, sir! "Loaded up and ready to go!" The little engines laughed.
And the Thin Controller laughed, too.
"Thomas," he said.
"That was a good joke!" You are a really funny engine! And Thomas puffed happily away.
