00:00You
00:30Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:15Trevor the traction engine was enjoying his work in the Vicarage Orchard.
01:19Birds were singing and apples were ripening on the trees.
01:22It was a lovely day.
01:25Hello, Trevor, said James.
01:26You look as bright and cheerful as my red paint.
01:29Oh, I am, replied Trevor.
01:32What's that noise?
01:34It's the bees, laughed Trevor.
01:35They're all in these boxy things called beehives.
01:38I'm taking them to the station.
01:40The Vicar says his bees make good honey, and he's giving some of them to his friends.
01:46Just then, Boko, the diesel engine, hummed in.
01:49Take care, you two.
01:53Don't make the bees angry.
01:55They might sting you.
01:57James didn't like being told what to do by a diesel, and he buzzed away.
02:02Goodbye, Trevor, called Boko, and set off to see Duck at the next station.
02:13Bill and Ben, the tank engine twins, were busy arranging cars, but they scampered off when they saw Boko.
02:19I remember the first time I met those two, laughed Boko.
02:26They nearly made my eyes pop out.
02:29Edward soon put a stop to their games.
02:32Edward is the only one who can keep Bill and Ben in order, chuckled Duck.
02:35I sometimes call them the bees.
02:37A good name, replied Boko.
02:39They're terrors when they start buzzing around.
02:42James bustled in.
02:47What's that, Duck?
02:48Are you afraid of bees?
02:49They're only insects, after all.
02:51So don't let that buzz box diesel tell you different.
02:54His name is Boko, and he didn't.
02:57We...
02:57I wouldn't care if hundreds were swarming around.
03:00I'd just blow smoke and make them buzz off.
03:05Buzz, buzz, buzz, retorted Duck.
03:07The next morning, James arrived at the station to collect his coaches.
03:14The passengers were excited and keen to get on board.
03:17The platform was crowded, and the porter was in a hurry.
03:23Mind your backs, he shouted.
03:26Then there was trouble.
03:28The beehive fell and broke open.
03:32The station cleared like magic.
03:35James heard a familiar buzzing.
03:39The bees were too cold to be crossed,
03:41so they buzzed around the fireman,
03:43hoping he'd mend their hive.
03:45But he didn't understand, nor did his driver.
03:48So the bees turned to James.
03:51His boiler was nice and warm.
03:55Buzz off, buzz off, hissed James.
03:58One bee burnt his foot.
03:59Ooh, ah, ah, ooh.
04:01The bee thought James had burnt him on purpose.
04:05So it stung James right back on the nose.
04:15Eeeeee!
04:17Whistled James.
04:18He had had enough.
04:20So had his fireman and driver.
04:21They didn't notice till too late
04:27that they had left all their coaches behind.
04:30They tried everything to get rid of the bees.
04:33First they spun on the turntable,
04:35but to no avail.
04:37They tried washing them off,
04:38but the bees clung harder to James' warm boiler.
04:41Then they tried smoking them off
04:45by going through a long tunnel,
04:47but still the bees wouldn't go away.
04:51It's no good, James, said his driver.
04:54We'll just have to go back to the orchard
04:55and fetch another hive.
04:57James' reply was drowned by the sound of buzzing.
05:00The vicar was waiting anxiously for James.
05:09When he arrived,
05:10the bees swarmed straight into their new home.
05:13Come on, James, said his driver.
05:17What you need now is a good hose down.
05:21Later that evening,
05:22James was resting in the shed
05:23when the vicar came to see him.
05:26Thank you for saving my bees, he said.
05:29It's a pity it's not Christmas.
05:30Then we could call you James,
05:31the red-nosed engine.
05:33Everyone laughed, even James.
05:36But instead, they decided to call James
05:38the bee's knees,
05:39which means they thought he was more useful than ever.
05:43The bee's knees and the bee's knees and the bee's knees.
06:13Bill and Ben are the most mischievous engines
06:18working on Sir Topham Hatt's railway.
06:21They're kept busy pushing and pulling cars
06:24up and down the line
06:25that runs from the China Clayworks
06:27to the harbor yard.
06:28They like to have fun together
06:36and often play tricks on the workmen.
06:43But sometimes their teasing ways
06:45can get them into trouble.
06:48One morning, Sir Topham Hatt came to see them.
06:51Important goods have arrived in the big yard.
06:54Bill and Ben, I need you to help the other engines.
06:58Oh, yes, of course, sir, replied the twins.
07:03They set off happily on their important mission.
07:08Boko was resting in the yard
07:10when suddenly he heard a pair of familiar whistles.
07:13Hmm, sighed Boko.
07:15Here comes trouble.
07:19Sir Topham Hatt told us you were tired,
07:21teased Bill.
07:22He asked us to take all your cars for you.
07:26You two never stop, do you?
07:28But I'm wise to your pranks,
07:30and we do need help here.
07:31The twins were soon busy
07:35pushing and pulling the heavy cars into place.
07:50At last, the day's work was done.
07:53The twins now became excited.
07:55They were going to use the turntable
07:57for the first time.
07:58Bill went first.
08:03This is fun, he shrieked to Ben.
08:05He didn't want to move off at all.
08:07The foreman stopped the turntable.
08:11Please make way for the other engines, he ordered.
08:15Bill did so,
08:16but the foreman had accidentally stopped the turntable
08:18in the wrong place.
08:19Bill was on the wrong track,
08:21and there was Ben puffing directly toward him.
08:24The engines came to a grinding halt.
08:28They gazed grimly at each other.
08:33I was here first, said Bill.
08:35But you're in my way, protested Ben.
08:37You'll have to back up again.
08:39I won't.
08:40You will.
08:41I won't.
08:43Sir Topham Hatt came to stop the noise.
08:46If you don't behave,
08:47I shall not allow you here again.
08:49The next day, Ben was still grumpy.
08:57That Bill, imagine getting in my way on the turntable.
09:00He's a really silly engine.
09:03The way I heard it, sighed Boko,
09:05it sounded like you were both to blame.
09:08Pugh, you must have heard it all wrong.
09:11The twins grumbled about each other all day.
09:13Even kind Edward lost patience.
09:24All this grumbling spreads bad atmosphere in the yard.
09:27You're quite right,
09:28and that's why I've come up with a plan.
09:31Boko whispered his plan to Edward.
09:34Then his driver told Sir Topham Hatt,
09:36I'll start making arrangements right away.
09:42The next morning,
09:43he called Bill and Ben into the yard.
09:46Boko is taking a special train to the harbor.
09:48His regular heavy goods train is waiting on the siding.
09:51You can pull it together.
09:54But, but, protested Bill and Ben,
09:56who were still not speaking to each other.
09:59Good.
09:59I knew I could rely on you two.
10:02I'll take the train myself, huffed Ben.
10:04Go right ahead, said Bill.
10:07Ben was coupled up to the train of freight cars,
10:09but they were too heavy for him to move alone.
10:15Go on, teased Bill.
10:18I can't, said Ben.
10:20Then suddenly, both twins laughed.
10:23I don't think we'll take turns this time, Ben, said Bill.
10:27I think we'd better pull together.
10:30Ben was delighted.
10:32It was good to be helping each other.
10:36Best of all, it was good to be friends again.
10:42Good.
10:43Let's do it.
10:43Then, we'll see you next week.
10:45têm empowerment,
10:46and there'll be times when they leave you,
10:47who would happen.
11:01Oh, my God.
11:02Let's go.
11:03Go on, go on, go.
11:04Good.
11:04Auf, on, go.
11:05One morning, Edward was waiting to pick up passengers from Thomas' train.
11:22Beep, beep! We're late. Where is Thomas? He doesn't usually make us wait.
11:28Oh, dear, what can the matter be, sang the fireman.
11:33Johnny's so long, and never you mind about Johnny, laughed the driver.
11:37Just you climb on the cab and look for Thomas.
11:42Can you see him?
11:44No, replied the fireman. There's Bertie Buss in a tearing hurry.
11:49No need to bother with him, though. Likely he's on a coach tour or something.
11:54He clambered down.
12:03Stop! Stop! I've got Thomas' passengers, wailed Bertie, roaring up to the gates.
12:13It was no good. Edward was gone.
12:16Bother, said Bertie.
12:18Bother Thomas' fireman not coming to work today.
12:21Why did I promise to help the passengers catch the train?
12:24That will do, Bertie, said his driver.
12:31A promise is a promise, and we must keep it.
12:44I'll catch Edward or bust, said Bertie.
12:47Oh, my gears and axles, he groaned, toiling up the hill.
12:58I'll never be the same bus again.
13:01Hooray! Hooray! I see him, cheered Bertie as he reached the top.
13:06Oh, no! Edward's at the station.
13:09No, he stopped at a crossing.
13:12Hooray! Hooray!
13:14Bertie tore down the hill.
13:15Well done, Bertie, shouted his passengers.
13:19Go it! Bertie skidded into the yard.
13:22Wait, wait, cried Bertie.
13:24He was just in time to see Edward puff away.
13:28I'm sorry, said Bertie.
13:30Never mind, said the passengers.
13:32After him quickly. Third time lucky, you know.
13:36Do you think we'll catch him at the next station, driver?
13:40There's a good chance, replied the driver.
13:42Our road keeps close to the line, and we can climb hills better than Edward.
13:46I'll just make sure.
13:48He spoke to the station master.
13:51Bertie and the passengers waited impatiently.
13:54Yes, we'll do it this time, said the driver.
13:58Hooray! called the passengers as Bertie chased after Edward once more.
14:02This hill is too steep.
14:21This hill is too steep, grumbled the coaches as Edward snorted in front.
14:25They reached the top at last and ran smoothly into the station.
14:40Beep!
14:40Whistled Edward.
14:41Get in quickly, please.
14:43The conductor blew the whistle, and Edward's driver looked back.
14:47But the flag didn't wave.
14:49Then he heard Bertie.
14:51Everything seemed to happen at once, and the station master told the conductor and driver what had happened.
14:59I'm sorry about the chase, Bertie, said Edward.
15:03My fault, replied Bertie.
15:06Late at junction, you didn't know about Thomas' passengers?
15:12Beep! Beep!
15:13Goodbye, Bertie.
15:14We're off, whistled Edward.
15:16Three cheers for Bertie, called the passenger.
15:19Bertie raced back to tell Thomas that all was well.
15:32Thank you, Bertie, for keeping your promise, said Thomas.
15:36You're a very good friend indeed.
15:38We're off, whistled Edward.
15:40We're off, whistled Edward.
15:41We're off, whistled Edward.
15:42We're off, whistled Edward.
15:43We're off, whistled Edward.
15:44We're off, whistled Edward.
15:45We're off, whistled Edward.
15:46We're off, whistled Edward.
15:47We're off, whistled Edward.
15:48We're off, whistled Edward.
15:49We're off, whistled Edward.
15:50We're off, whistled Edward.
15:51We're off, whistled Edward.
15:52We're off, whistled Edward.
15:53We're off, whistled Edward.
15:54We're off, whistled Edward.
15:55We're off, whistled Edward.
15:56We're off, whistled Edward.
15:57We're off, whistled Edward.
15:58We're off, whistled Edward.
15:59One morning, Bill and Ben were busy at the quarry,
16:16pushing and pulling cars filled with clay into their proper places.
16:20The twins are cheeky and love playing tricks, but they were growing restless.
16:25Listen, Bill, said Ben, can you hear something?
16:28What sort of something, asked Bill.
16:31Something different, replied Ben.
16:34I can't hear anything different, said Bill.
16:37Exactly, huffed Ben.
16:39Everything is the same.
16:40Sounds the same, looks the same.
16:42What we need is a surprise.
16:45Surprise what, asked Bill.
16:47Before Ben could answer, the quarry master arrived.
16:51I have just received a message from Sir Topham Hatt.
16:53He wants you to go to the station at the harbor.
16:55I wonder what we've done wrong this time, said Bill anxiously.
17:01It must be you, replied Ben.
17:03Why me, exclaimed Bill.
17:05I've not done anything.
17:12Edward is taking the children on a special trip today.
17:15I want you to go to the station and look after cars there.
17:18We'll do our best, sir, said the twins.
17:31Gordon spoke severely to them.
17:34You must behave here.
17:35You're on the main line now.
17:37Actually, Gordon, giggled Ben, when we saw you, we thought this was the scrapyard.
17:43Gordon was cross.
17:45Just make sure that my coaches are ready for my evening train.
17:48And he fumed away.
17:51The twins laughed and set to work.
17:54This is easy, they said to each other.
17:56We know all about cars.
17:58But I'm afraid they didn't.
18:00No need for that, shouted the cars as the twins pushed them into place.
18:04We'll show you around.
18:05We want to help.
18:07Thank you very much, said Bill and Ben.
18:11The cars giggled and began their tricks.
18:18Evening came.
18:19The yard was in a dreadful muddle.
18:21The twins had let the cars tell them where to put things.
18:28Gordon and the passengers waited impatiently outside the station
18:32while Bill and Ben tried to sort things out.
18:40But by the time Gordon was able to leave, it was very late indeed.
18:45Next day, the twins were working at the quarry again.
18:55That's a strange noise, gasped Bill.
18:57I've never heard a noise like that before.
19:00I have, whispered his driver nervously.
19:02It sounds like a rock slide to me.
19:05Then came the alarm.
19:07Danger! Clear the quarry, shouted the quarry master.
19:11Workmen scrambled into the cars.
19:13Thank goodness we're here, said the twins.
19:20They were just puffing out of the quarry when...
19:23Help! Wait for me!
19:25A workman had been left behind.
19:27Ben waited as the man climbed quickly aboard.
19:34The twins left the quarry just in time.
19:43Everyone was safe, but rubble lay all around.
20:10Oh, dear, said Bill.
20:12This wasn't our fault.
20:14I hope Sir Topham had will understand.
20:16And indeed, he did.
20:18Next day, he arrived with Edward.
20:21Bill and Ben, you still have a lot to learn about cars, don't you?
20:25But you acted quickly and bravely in an emergency.
20:28So three cheers for Bill and Ben, our heroes.
20:30Hip, hip, hooray!
20:32Hooray!
20:33Hooray!
20:33Oh, thank you, sir, said Bill.
20:36Being called heroes?
20:37Well, it's...
20:38It's...
20:39It's a really nice surprise, laughed Ben.
20:42MainACCity of 3.0.
20:51Hello, everybody.
20:51We're favourite Elliot.
20:52Hello, everybody.
20:52Hello, everyone.
20:53Myself in 3.0.
20:54Now, I'm really sure you will.
20:57This is Hilary on this one.
21:00Also this dude, I'm a person who's been doing
21:07next to me.
21:08It was a special holiday on the island of Sodor.
21:18Bertie the bus was working harder than ever before.
21:23All the engines were busy too.
21:25Duck was waiting for his next journey.
21:40Near him stood a red bus, but he didn't look friendly like Bertie.
21:45The bus growled as he gazed at the happy passengers.
21:49Stupid nonsense, he grumbled. I wouldn't have brought them if I'd known.
21:53I'd have had a breakdown or something.
21:56I'm glad you didn't, smiled Duck. You'd have spoiled their fun.
22:00Bah! Enjoyment is all you engines live for. One day railways will be ripped up.
22:05Duck felt shocked at such an idea.
22:08We have a friend called Bertie, and he's a bus, but he likes the railway.
22:13Sometimes he teases us about it, but he'd never want to see it ripped up.
22:17Heh, growled the bus. I know Bertie. He's too small in size to be of any use.
22:22Duck took no notice.
22:25That bus is silly, he thought, as he steamed away.
22:35At the junction, Duck told Oliver all about him.
22:38I call him Bulgy, chuckled Oliver, and then he puffed happily away.
22:49But that afternoon when the two engines met again, Oliver was no longer laughing.
22:53Bulgy's friend has come, he said.
22:56He's rude, too. He's taking Bulgy's passengers home and leaving Bulgy free to steal ours.
23:02But he can't, objected Duck.
23:06Bulgy says he can get them to the big station before us.
23:10Rubbish, replied Duck. It's much farther by road.
23:14Yeah, continued Oliver, but Bulgy says he knows a shortcut.
23:17That evening, the engines were preparing for the homeward rush.
23:28Where are the passengers, they wondered.
23:32Look, shrilled Oliver.
23:34Look at Bulgy. He's a mean, scarlet deceiver.
23:38Bulgy was wearing a large sign saying, Railway Bus.
23:42Yeah, boo, snubs, he jeered as he roared away.
23:49Come on, puffed Duck to his coaches. Let's see what he's up to.
24:00Duck wanted to get back at Bulgy, but he wasn't sure how.
24:04Then, in the distance, Duck saw a man waving a red flag.
24:15That meant danger.
24:19The line here crosses a narrow road,
24:22and there was Bulgy, wedged firmly under the bridge.
24:27So this was his shortcut, chuckled Duck.
24:30He tricked us, shouted Bulgy's passengers.
24:33He said he was a railway bus, but he wouldn't accept our return tickets.
24:37He wanted us to think railways are no good.
24:41Duck's crew examined the bridge.
24:44It's risky, but we must help the passengers.
24:47Passengers are urgent, agreed Duck.
24:52Duck slowly and carefully set off across the bridge.
24:56Bulgy wailed as he felt the bridge quiver.
24:59Whoa!
25:00Whoa!
25:00Whoa!
25:01Whoa!
25:08Stop!
25:09He shouted.
25:10It might fall on me.
25:12That would serve you right for telling lies, said Duck.
25:15But the bridge didn't collapse.
25:21Duck made good time, and all the passengers caught their trains.
25:25The bridge is now mended, but not unfortunately Bulgy and his ways.
25:32He never learned sense.
25:35He's a hen house now, and his lies can do no harm.
25:40The hens never listen to them anyway.
25:42Up my head.
25:52Your head.
25:54I'm afraid.
25:55I'm afraid.
25:56Look at this.
25:57I'm afraid.
25:58I'm afraid.
25:58Gee.
25:58Let's go.
25:59I'm afraid.
25:59I'm afraid?
26:00I'm afraid.
26:00I'm afraid.
26:01Better spend time here.
26:01See you now.
26:01See you up here?
26:02Go.
26:03Hopefully.
26:04I'm afraiduff!
26:05I'm afraid.
26:05Thomas' branch line is important, and so is Edward's.
26:25But their track and bridges are not so strong as those on the main line.
26:29Sir Topham Hatt does not allow the heavier main line engines like Gordon to run on them.
26:35But one day, the way Gordon was talking, you would have thought Sir Topham Hatt had given this order for quite another reason.
26:43It's not fair, grumbled Gordon.
26:46What isn't fair, asked Edward.
26:49Letting branch line diesels pull main line trains.
26:53Never mind, Gordon. I'm sure Boko will let you pull his freight cars sometimes.
26:58Gordon spluttered.
27:00I won't pull Boko's dirty cars. I won't run on branch lines.
27:06Why not? It would be a nice change.
27:09Sir Topham Hatt would never approve, huffed Gordon.
27:12Branch lines are vulgar.
27:16Gordon puffed away.
27:20Edward chuckled and followed him to the station.
27:22Every evening, the two engines pull two fast trains from the station.
27:31Gordon always leaves first with an express for the main line.
27:35Edward follows five minutes later with his train for the branch line.
27:39Usually, everything runs like clockwork.
27:51But tonight, there was trouble.
27:53A lady in a green floppy hat was saying goodbye to a friend.
27:58It was nearly time for Gordon to start.
28:02The fireman looked back towards the conductor's van and saw something green waving.
28:07Right away, mate!
28:07He thought the conductor had waved his flag.
28:11Gordon started, leaving luggage, his passengers, and the conductor all standing on the platform.
28:18Everyone was very surprised and cross.
28:21To make matters worse, by the time Gordon had been stopped and brought back, Edward was already late with his train.
28:41So now he set off first.
28:44But the signalman at the junction wasn't told about the change.
28:52By mistake, he sent Edward along the main line.
29:01Gordon was sent along the branch and arrived cold and cross on one of the sidings near the harbor.
29:07Next morning, Bill and Ben peeped into the yard.
29:16There were no cars for them, but they didn't mind that.
29:20Teasing Gordon would be much better fun.
29:22What's that?
29:23What's that?
29:24Asked Bill.
29:25Shish!
29:26Whispered Ben.
29:27It's Gordon.
29:29It looks like Gordon, but it can't be.
29:32Gordon never comes on the branch lines.
29:35He thinks them vulgar.
29:38Gordon pretended he hadn't heard them.
29:40If it isn't, Gordon, said Ben, it's just a pile of old iron, which we'd better take to the scrapyard.
29:48No, Bill, this lot's useless for scrap.
29:51We'll take it to the harbor and dump it in the sea.
29:55Gordon was alarmed.
29:57I am Gordon.
29:58Stop!
29:59Stop!
30:02When Boko suddenly arrived, Gordon thought him the most beautiful sight he had ever seen.
30:10Boko, my dear engine, save me!
30:14Boko quickly sized up the situation and threatened to take away the cars he had brought for Bill and Ben.
30:20This made the twins behave at once.
30:24Gordon thought Boko was wonderful.
30:26Those little demons, how do you do it?
30:30Ah, well, said Boko, it's just a knack.
30:33Gordon still believes that Boko saved his life.
30:36But we know the twins were only teasing, don't we?
30:40No, no!
30:50Yeah, yeah.
31:02Get K done.
31:03It was a splendid morning on the island of Sodor.
31:19James was feeling very pleased with himself.
31:22His red paint gleamed in the sunshine as he sped along the line.
31:27He reached the junction just as Percy puffed in with some freight cars.
31:31James was surprised to see him.
31:34What are you doing here, Percy? You should be at the station by now.
31:39I know, sighed Percy. These cars have been troublesome all morning.
31:43That's no excuse, Percy. Nothing should stop us.
31:47Sir Topham Hatt relies on us to be on time.
31:50Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way.
31:53And James puffed importantly away.
31:57Bossy buffers, muttered Percy.
32:01James arrived at the harbor.
32:06It was market day.
32:08The harbor yard was filled with the sweet smell of fruit from faraway lands.
32:14The fruit was delivered in big ships.
32:17James watched as strawberries, oranges, melons and bananas were carefully loaded onto his cars.
32:22Then he set off for the station on the main line.
32:35On the way, he met Thomas.
32:37Really reliable! That's me! panted James.
32:41Pity the same can't be said for Percy. Goodbye!
32:44What was all that about?
32:49Gasped Annie and Clarabelle.
32:51That was trouble. Trouble for James. Just wait and see.
32:56Percy was back in the yard and busy shunting.
33:00He had the cars in good order and was making up for lost time.
33:03But the station master had bad news.
33:08What's happened? asked Percy's driver.
33:10James' brakes have jammed. We need Percy's help right away.
33:14Percy quickly set off to the rescue.
33:23James was stuck on the line and looking glum.
33:26Percy couldn't help laughing.
33:27Got yourself in a bit of a jam, eh, James?
33:30A sticky situation?
33:33Be quiet! It's not funny having jammed brakes.
33:37And not very reliable either.
33:39I'm surprised you let it happen, James.
33:41Nothing should stop us engines.
33:44That's enough, Percy, said the driver.
33:47Can you push these cars?
33:48Of course I can.
33:50There's no time to lose.
33:52James has done too much of that already.
33:53James angrily hissed steam as Percy was coupled to the cars.
34:00Off we go, said Percy.
34:02I'll have to go fast to get there in time.
34:05Those big engines are so unreliable.
34:11Be careful, Percy, called his driver.
34:14But Percy was in a hurry.
34:16He didn't see that the switch had failed
34:24and that he had been diverted into a siding.
34:27Look out, Percy!
34:28shouted his driver and applied the brakes.
34:31But it was too late.
34:38The driver and fireman had jumped clear,
34:40but squashed fruit squirted all over Percy.
34:44Sir Topham had arrived.
34:54Percy, you are not to blame for the switch failure,
34:56but I do not run a jam factory.
34:59Yes, sir.
35:00No, sir.
35:01And Percy squelched sadly away.
35:05That night, the shed was silent.
35:08James and Percy felt very sorry for themselves.
35:11At last, Thomas spoke.
35:13You know, he said to no engine in particular,
35:16there's more than one way to get jammed.
35:18We all learned that today.
35:20Still, there was silence.
35:22What's more, we also learned that sometimes
35:25when engines help each other out of a jam,
35:27things can still go wrong.
35:30So, said a voice,
35:32so, that means we learned a lot today.
35:35And therefore...
35:37Then came a chorus.
35:39We're really useful engines after all.
35:42We're really useful.
