Transcript

• (We open this episode with the Britt Allcroft Presents logo)
• (We then show the Thomas Season 5 intro and we afterwards begin Whistles and Sneezes)
• George Carlin: Gordon was cross.
• Gordon: Why should Henry have a new shape?
• George Carlin: He grumbled.
• Gordon: A shape good enough for me is good enough for him. He goes gallivanting off, leaving us to do his work, and comes back saying how happy he feels. It's disgraceful. And there's another thing: Henry whistles too much. No respectable engine ever whistles loudly at stations. It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it.
• George Carlin: Poor Henry didn't feel happy anymore.
• Percy: Never mind.
• George Carlin: Whispered Percy.
• Percy: I'm glad you're home again. I like your whistling.
• Gordon: Goodbye, Henry.
• George Carlin: Called Gordon.
• Gordon: We're glad to have you with us again. But remember what I said.
• George Carlin: Later, Henry stopped at Edward's station.
• Edward: Hello, Henry.
• George Carlin: Said Edward.
• Edward: You look splendid. I was pleased to hear your happy whistle yesterday.
• Henry: Thank you, Edward.
• George Carlin: Smiled Henry.
• (We hear a screeching noise)
• Henry: Shh, shh. Can you hear something?
• Edward: It sounds like Gordon.
• George Carlin: Said Edward.
• Edward: And it ought to be Gordon. But Gordon never whistles like that.
• George Carlin: It was Gordon. He came rushing down the hill of a tremendous rate. He didn't look at Henry and he didn't look at Edward. He screamed straight through the station and disappeared.
• Edward: Well.
• George Carlin: Said Edward.
• Henry: It isn't wrong.
• George Carlin: Chuckled Henry.
• Henry: But we just don't do it.
• George Carlin: And he told Edward what Gordon had said. Meanwhile, Gordon screeched along the line. The noise was awful. At the station, everyone covered their ears. Sir Topham Hatt covered his ears too.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Take him away!
• George Carlin: He bellowed.
• Sir Topham Hatt: And stop that noise!
• George Carlin: Gordon puffed sadly away. But he wouldn't stop whistling until two fitters climbed up and knocked his whistle valve in place.
• (Two fitters fix Gordon's whistle with progress)
• George Carlin: That night, Gordon slunked into the shed. He was glad it was empty.
• Henry: It isn't wrong.
• George Carlin: Murmured Henry to no one in particular.
• Henry: But we just don't do it.
• George Carlin: No one mentioned whistles. Next morning, Henry was enjoying himself enormously.
• Henry: I feel so well, I feel so well.
• George Carlin: He sang.
• Coaches: Trickety-trock, trickety-trock.
• George Carlin: Hummed his coaches. Then he saw some boys on a bridge.
• Henry: Peep-peep. Hello.
• George Carlin: He whistled.
• (The boys smash the coaches' windows with stones)
• Henry: Ohh.
• George Carlin: He called. The boys didn't wave and take his number. They thought it fun to drop stones on him instead.
• Coaches: They've broken our glass, they've broken our glass.
• George Carlin: Cried the coaches. The passengers weren't hurt, but they were cross.
• Passengers: Call the police!
• Henry's Driver: No.
• George Carlin: Said the driver.
• Henry's Driver: Leave it to Henry and me.
• Passengers: What will you do?
• George Carlin: They asked.
• Passengers: Can you keep a secret?
• Henry: Yes, yes.
• Henry's Driver: Well then.
• George Carlin: Said the driver.
• Henry's Driver: Henry is going to sneeze at those boys.
• George Carlin: Lots of people were at the station just before the bridge. They wanted to see what would happen.
• Henry's Driver: Henry has plenty of ashes.
• George Carlin: Said the driver.
• Henry's Driver: Please keep all windows shut until we haved passed the bridge. Henry's is excited as we are. Aren't you, old fellow?
• George Carlin: Henry felt more stuffed up. Soon, they could see the boys. And they all had stones.
• Henry's Driver: Are you ready, Henry?
• George Carlin: Said his driver.
• Henry's Driver: Sneeze hard when I tell you. Now.
• George Carlin: He said.
• Henry: Ah-choo!
• (Henry sneezes at the boys and they were covered in ashes)
• Henry's Driver: Well done, Henry.
• George Carlin: Laughed his driver. Henry went home, hoping that next time he saw Gordon and the boys, they would have learned not to be so mean.
• (A passing by sequence occurs and we begin Night Train)
• Children: (singing) See how the night sky glows, See the light from the night train, The fire glow from the night train. On down the line he blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! On down the line he blows. All through the night he goes. Hear the sound of the night train, The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train. Hear how his whistle blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! Hear how his whistle blows. Pulling, heaving, big engine breathing. Pistons pushing side by side. Driver checking, gauging, peering, Fireman stoking by his side. On down the line they go. Fast track for the mail train, Clear away for the post train. Non-stop all night they go... Woooooo-oooooo!!! Non-stop all night they go. See how the night sky glows. Clear ahead for the night train, Green light for the night train. On down the track he blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! On down the track he blows. Dawn is breaking, sleepy town waking. Children waving, watch him go. Freight trains, milk trains, Boat trains waiting, Stand aside to let him go. There in the morning glow The sunlight on the night train, Silhouettes the night train. On down the line he blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! There in the morning glow. On down the line he blows Hear the sound of the night train, The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train. Hear how his whistle blows... Woooooo-oooooo!!! Hear how his whistle blows. On down the line he blows, On down the line he blows.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Pop Goes The Diesel)
• George Carlin: Duck is very proud of being Great Western. He talks endlessly about it. But he works hard too and makes everything ran like clockwork. It was a splendid day. The cars and coaches behave well, the passengers even stopped grumbling. But the engines didn't like having to bustle about.
• Duck: There are two ways of doing things.
• George Carlin: Duck told them.
• Duck: The Great Western way, or the wrong way. I'm Great Western and...
• Henry, Gordon and James: Don't we know it!
• George Carlin: They groaned. The engines were glad when the visitor came. He purred smoothly towards him. Sir Topham Hatt introduce him.
• Sir Topham Hatt: Here is Diesel. I have agreed to give him a trial. He needs to learn. Please teach him, Duck.
• Diesel: Good morning.
• George Carlin: Purred Diesel in an oily voice.
• Diesel: Please to meet you, Duck. Is that James and Henry and Gordon too? I am delighted to meet such famous engines.
• George Carlin: The silly engines were flattered.
• Engines: He has very good manners.
• George Carlin: They murmured.
• Engines: We're pleased to have in our yard.
• George Carlin: Duck had his doubts.
• Duck: Come on!
• George Carlin: He said. Diesel purred after him.
• Diesel: Your worth Top...
• Duck: Sir Topham Hatt to you.
• George Carlin: Ordered Duck. Diesel looked hurt.
• Diesel: Your worthy Sir Topham Hatt thinks I need to learn. He is mistaken. We diesel don't need to learn. We know everything. We come to a yard and improvement. We are revolutionary.
• Duck: Oh!
• George Carlin: Said Duck.
• Duck: If you are revo-thingummy, perhaps you would collect my cars while I fetch Gordon's coaches.
• George Carlin: Diesel delighted to show off, purred away. When Duck returned, Diesel was trying to take some cars from a siding. They were old and empty. They've not been touch for a long time. Diesel found them hard to move. Pull! Push! Backwards! Forwards!
• Cars: Oh! Oh!
• George Carlin: The cars groaned.
• Cars: We can't! We won't!
• George Carlin: Duck watched with interest. Diesel lost patience.
• Diesel: Grrr!
• George Carlin: He roared, and gave a great heave. The cars jerked forward.
• Cars: Ohhh!
• George Carlin: They screamed.
• Cars: We can't! We won't!
• George Carlin: Some of their brakes snapped, and the gear jammed in the sleepers.
• Diesel: Grrrr!
• Duck: Ha, ha, ha!
• George Carlin: Chuckled Duck. Diesel recovered and try to push the cars back, but they wouldn't move. Duck ran quietly around to collect the other cars.
• Duck: Thank you for arranging these, Diesel. I must go now.
• Diesel: Don't you want this lot?
• Duck: No thank you.
• George Carlin: Diesel gulped.
• Diesel: And I've taken all this trouble? Why didn't you tell me?
• Duck: You never asked me. Besides.
• George Carlin: Said Duck.
• Duck: You were having such fun being revo-whatever-it-was-you-said. Goodbye.
• Diesel: Grrrr!
• George Carlin: Diesel had to help the workmen clear the mess. He hated it. All the cars were laughing and singing at him.
• Cars: Cars are waiting in the yard, tackling them with ease'll, show the world what I can do, gaily boasts the Diesel, in and out he creeps about, like a big black weasel, when he pulls the wrong cars out, Pop Goes The Diesel!
• Diesel: Grrr!
• George Carlin: Growled Diesel, and scuttled away to sulk in the shed.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Percy's Seaside Trip)
• (Rooster crows)
• Children: (singing) The sun is shining, it's a lovely day. It won't be long before we're on our way. The guard is waiting, flag in hand. He blows his whistle, we're off to sea and sand. The sky is blue, there's not a cloud in sight, So much excitement, didn't sleep all night. Now Percy's rushing trough the countryside, With people waving as we (peep peep) whistle by. Seaside, we're off to the seaside. Ice cream in cones, Candy floss on your nose. Seaside, we're off to the seaside, We're gonna have a lovely day. Just one more hill to climb and we'll be there. Sounds of the seaside start to fill the air. Then someone shouts out excitedly.
• Girl: "Look over there, everybody, I can see the sea!"
• Children: (singing) Seaside, we're off to the seaside, Buckets and spades, all the fairground arcades. Seaside, we're off to the seaside, We're gonna have a lovely day. And when it's cold in wintertime, Still you can be there any time. Just close your eyes, count 1-2-3, Dream your dream and once again be by the sea. Sir Topham Hatt arrives to greet the train. He is so pleased that Percy's right on time. So much excitement, so much glee. We're all together with Percy by the sea. Seaside, we're all at the seaside, Building sandcastles with buckets and spades. Seaside, we're all at the seaside. Oh, what a lovely, lovely, day. Seaside, we're all at the seaside, Picnics and paddling, swimming all day. Seaside, we're all at the seaside, Oh, what a lovely, lovely day. Thank you, Percy, for such a lovely day. Hooray!
• (Owl hoots)
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin Four Little Engines)
• George Carlin: If you should visit the place that has a lake in the woods and a beautiful waterfall, then you may also find two little engines called Skarloey and Rheneas. The engines know everybody and everybody knows that. There are two more engines: Sir Handel and Peter Sam. They used to be called Stuart and Falcon, but they like they're new names better. One day, Sir Topham Hatt send Edward to the works to be mended. A big surprise awaited Edward.
• Edward: It's Skarloey. What's he doing here?
• George Carlin: Skarloey was pleased to see Edward.
• Skarloey: I've been sent here for a rest.
• George Carlin: He sighed.
• Skarloey: I was put in the shed so I can see everything and not be lonely. But I do miss Rheneas. He's going to be mended. I wish I can be mended too, and pull coaches again.
• George Carlin: Just then, some workmen arrived.
• Workman: We're going to take you to the works now, Edward. Come along.
• Edward: Goodbye, Skarloey. Your railway's a lovely line.
• Skarloey: Oh, it is, it is! You cheered me up, Edward. Goodbye.
• George Carlin: Meanwhile, Sir Handel was having trouble with some coaches. He tried to be kind, but the coaches didn't trust him. They were awkward and rude. There was worst to come. Some careless sheep stray on to the line.
• Coaches: He's bumped us!
• George Carlin: Screamed the coaches.
• Coaches: Let's get back at him!
• George Carlin: They serged into Sir Handel and pushed him off the rails. No one was hurt, but Sir Handel limped sadly to the shed.
• Driver: No more work for you, today.
• George Carlin: Said his driver.
• Driver: How are we going to pull the visitors' train without an engine?
• Skarloey: What about me, sir?
• Driver: Skarloey, can you do it?
• Skarloey: I'll try.
• George Carlin: Said the old engine. The coaches stood at the platform.
• Skarloey: I'm ashamed of you.
• George Carlin: Scolded Skarloey.
• Skarloey: You might have hurt your passengers.
• George Carlin: The coaches quivered.
• Coaches: We're sorry, Skarloey.
• George Carlin: The conductor blew the whistle, and they're journey began. Skarloey remembered all the gates and styles where he had to stop. The sun shone and the rails were dry.
• Skarloey: This is lovely.
• George Carlin: Sanged Skarloey. Presently, the line grew steep. Skarloey felt short of steam.
• Driver: Take your time.
• George Carlin: Soothed his driver.
• Skarloey: It'll be better down hill.
• George Carlin: Skarloey said to himself. But it wasn't. His springs were weak, and the rail joints jarred his wheels. At last, a spring gave weigh.
• Skarloey: I feel all crooked!
• George Carlin: Cried Skarloey.
• Driver: We'll need a bus now for our passengers.
• George Carlin: Sighed his driver.
• Skarloey: No!
• George Carlin: Pleaded Skarloey.
• Skarloey: I'll get them to the station or burst.
• George Carlin: James was waiting on the platform. Clanging and clanking, Skarloey steamed in.
• Skarloey: I'll do it, I'll do it. I've done it.
• George Carlin: James collected his passengers and respectfully puffed away. Everyone was pleased with Skarloey, but he was still worried.
• Skarloey: Old engines can't pull trains like the young ones can.
• Driver: They can if they're mended, old faithful.
• George Carlin: Smiled his driver.
• Driver: And that's what gonna happen to you. You deserved it.
• (Another passing by sequence occurs and we begin It's Great To Be An Engine)
• Children: (singing) Oh yes, it's great To be an engine And go steaming along, Puff puff puffing along, Peep peep peeping along. All the people waving As you speed along. Puff puff puffing along All day.We're all so proud to be Famous engines And travel through the countryside. We're always brave when There are hills to climb. No mountain is too high! Oh yes it's great To be an engine As you're steaming along. Puff puff puffing along, Peep peep peeping along. Fly along the rails as Your wheels go round Whiz whiz whizzing around All day.
