Thomas & Friends 4x17

Directed by

Stepney is very happy with his visit to the Fat Controller's railway. But one day, whilst waiting at a signal, a cricket team's "one and only ball" accidentally falls into one of his trucks. And when he steams away, Caroline the cranky old car, driven by her Master, gives chase to try and retrieve the ball!

1. STEPNEY'S VISIT TO SIR TOPHAM HATT'S RAILWAY

2. WAS COMING TO AN END.

3. "WE SHALL MISS YOU,"

4. SAID SIR TOPHAM HATT.

5. THEN HE TURNED HIS ATTENTION TO ALL THE OTHER ENGINES.

6. "MY RAILWAY IS VERY BUSY AND I AM PLEASED WITH YOU

7. "BUT YOU NEED HELP.

8. "A DIESEL IS ALL THAT'S AVAILABLE.

9. PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO AVOID ANY—AHEM—DISTURBANCES."

10. "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?"

11. WHISPERED DUCK.

12. "THAT MEANS THIS DIESEL IS DIFFICULT,"

13. SNAPPED JAMES.

14. AND HE WAS!

15. THE DIESEL SURVEYED THE SHED.

16. "NOT BAD.

17. "I'VE SEEN WORSE.

18. AT LEAST YOU'RE ALL CLEAN!"

19. THE ENGINES GLARED.

20. "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT,

21. "BUT SIR TOPHAM HATT SHOULD SCRAP YOU

22. "AND GET ENGINES LIKE ME.

23. "A FILL OF OIL, A TOUCH ON THE STARTER AND I'M OFF.

24. "NO BOTHER, NO WAITING.

25. "THEY HAVE TO FUSS ROUND YOU FOR HOURS BEFORE YOU'RE READY."

26. THE ENGINES WERE FURIOUS.

27. NEXT MORNING THEY HELD AN INDIGNATION MEETING

28. ROUND THE TURNTABLE.

29. "DISGRACEFUL!"

30. "DISGUSTING!"

31. "DESPICABLE!"

32. "TO SAY SUCH THINGS TO US,"

33. CRIED DONALD AND DOUGLAS.

34. "IT'S TO TEACH HIM A LESSON WE'D BE WANTING.

35. NOW HOW DO WE DO IT?"

36. THEIR CHANCE CAME SOONER THAN EXPECTED.

37. THE DIESEL WAS PURRING COMFORTABLY.

38. AN INSPECTOR WATCHED A FITTER MAKING FINAL ADJUSTMENTS.

39. THE WIND TUGGED AT THE INSPECTOR'S HAT.

40. THE DIESEL WAS READY.

41. "LOOK AT ME, DUCK AND STEPNEY.

42. NOW I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING."

43. HE ROLLED PROUDLY TOWARDS HIS COACHES.

44. THEN IT HAPPENED.

45. SHAKING AND SPLUTTERING THE DIESEL STOPPED.

46. MEANWHILE THE INSPECTOR WAS LOOKING FOR HIS HAT.

47. THE DIESEL SEETHED WITH FURY AS DUCK AND STEPNEY

48. PUSHED HIM BACK TO THE SHED.

49. "MY HAT!"

50. EXCLAIMED THE INSPECTOR.

51. "YOU'VE SUCKED IT THROUGH YOUR AIR INTAKE!"

52. "BOTHER YOUR HAT!

53. "THE HEAVY TRAIN'S DUE OUT.

54. "YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT, DUCK.

55. STEPNEY, WILL YOU HELP PLEASE?"

56. "THANK YOU, SIR,"

57. CRIED STEPNEY.

58. "I'D LIKE A GOOD LONG RUN ON MY LAST DAY."

59. THE ENGINES WERE SOON READY.

60. "GORDON WILL TAKE OVER FROM HALF WAY,

61. "SO GET THE TRAIN TO THERE.

62. GOOD LUCK."

63. "DON'T WORRY,"

64. SMILED STEPNEY.

65. "WE'LL GET THERE AND BE EARLY TOO."

66. THE CAVALCADE MOVED CAREFULLY OVER THE RAILS

67. AND OUT TO THE OPEN LINE.

68. "NOW FOR A SPRINT,"

69. PUFFED STEPNEY.

70. "I'M READY WHEN YOU ARE,"

71. REPLIED DUCK.

72. SOON THEY WERE WHIZZING THROUGH EDWARD'S STATION.

73. AND NEXT, THEY CHARGED AT GORDON'S HILL BEYOND.

74. THEY FELT THE DRAG OF THE HEAVY COACHES HERE.

75. IT WAS HARD WORK.

76. AT LAST THEY WERE RUNNING SMOOTHLY ALONG THE LINE

77. TOWARD THE BIG STATION.

78. "HELLO, YOU'RE EARLY."

79. SAID GORDON.

80. THAT'S ONE IN THE HEADLAMP FOR OLD DIESEL."

81. "JAMES SAYS HE'S SICK AS BOILER SLUDGE

82. AND SULKING IN THE SHED."

83. "SERVES HIM RIGHT FOR SAYING WE'RE OUT OF DATE,"

84. AND GORDON CHORTLED AWAY.

85. NEXT DAY, EVERYONE CAME TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO STEPNEY.

86. "COME BACK AND SEE US SOON,"

87. WHISTLED THE ENGINES.

88. "AND YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME ON MY BLUEBELL RAILWAY TOO,"

89. REPLIED STEPNEY.

90. THEN HE PUFFED AWAY.

91. WHAT ABOUT DIESEL?

92. HE'D SLIPPED OUT WHILE NO ONE WAS LOOKING.

93. BUT HE LEFT TWO THINGS BEHIND...

94. A RATHER NASTY SMELL AND A BATTERED BOWLER HAT!

95. STEPNEY THE BLUEBELL ENGINE

96. WAS BUSY TALKING TO THE OTHER ENGINES.

97. IT WAS HIS FIRST VISIT TO THEIR RAILWAY

98. AND HE WAS HAVING A SPLENDID TIME.

99. "YOU ARE VERY LUCKY ENGINES,"

100. HE SAID.

101. "YOUR LINE HAS GOT EVERYTHING.

102. "IT'S LONG ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU A GOOD RUN

103. "AND YOU HAVE PLENTY OF PASSENGERS.

104. "THEN YOU HAVE A QUARRY AND A MINE

105. "SO YOU NEED PLENTY OF CARS.

106. "CARS ARE FUN.

107. I MISSED THEM ON OUR LINE."

108. PERCY WAS SURPRISED.

109. ALL THE ENGINES THOUGHT CARS WERE TROUBLE.

110. "YOU'RE WELCOME TO TAKE SOME OF MINE,"

111. HE SAID,

112. "BUT YOU'D BETTER ASK DRIVER FIRST."

113. THEIR DRIVERS AGREED AND THE TWO ENGINES SET OFF.

114. THOMAS AND TOBY WERE SPEECHLESS.

115. STEPNEY TOOK THE CARS TO THE HARBOR.

116. THEN HE PICKED UP A LOAD OF EMPTY ONES AND STARTED BACK.

117. AHEAD WAS A CRICKET FIELD.

118. THE GAME HAD JUST BEGUN.

119. STEPNEY AND HIS DRIVER HAD TO WAIT AT A SIGNAL.

120. "GOOD,"

121. SAID HIS DRIVER.

122. "WE CAN WATCH THE GAME!"

123. THEN THERE WAS TROUBLE.

124. THE BATSMAN HIT THE BALL.

125. IT FLEW HIGH INTO THE SKY TOWARDS STEPNEY'S TRAIN.

126. "CLUNK" WENT THE SIGNAL.

127. "THUMP" WENT THE BALL INTO A CAR.

128. BUT NEITHER DRIVER NOR FIREMAN HEARD IT.

129. "STOP!"

130. YELLED THE PLAYERS.

131. BUT STEPNEY DIDN'T HEAR THEM.

132. "COME ALONG, COME ALONG,"

133. HE PUFFED TO THE CARS.

134. "OUR ONE AND ONLY BALL,"

135. CRIED THE PLAYERS.

136. "WAKE UP, CAROLINE,"

137. THEY SAID TO THEIR OLD CAR.

138. "THE CHASE IS ON!"

139. CAROLINE COUGHED CROSSLY AND ROLLED DOWN THE ROAD.

140. STEPNEY WASN'T HURRYING.

141. CAROLINE SOON CAME UP BEHIND.

142. "TOOT, TOOT!"

143. SHE WAILED.

144. THE PLAYERS SHOUTED

145. BUT STEPNEY WAS STILL TOO FAR WAY

146. FOR HIS DRIVER AND FIREMAN TO SEE OR HEAR PROPERLY.

147. THEY COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD.

148. "IF THOSE JOKERS WANT A RACE,"

149. SAID THE DRIVER,

150. "THEY CAN HAVE ONE.

151. FASTER, STEPNEY, FASTER!"

152. POOR CAROLINE WASN'T HAPPY AT ALL.

153. SHE RATTLED ALONG AT TWICE HER USUAL SPEED.

154. "I SHOULDN'T BE TREATED LIKE THIS,"

155. SHE GRUMBLED.

156. "THIS PACE IS TOO HOT FOR MY SYSTEM.

157. IT'LL FUSE ALL MY CIRCUITS."

158. SUDDENLY STEPNEY WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.

159. "YAHOO!

160. "THAT SILLY TRAIN HAS RUN INTO A HOLE

161. "SO I CAN'T CATCH IT.

162. I CAN GO HOME NOW."

163. BUT SHE COULDN'T.

164. HER DRIVER POUNDED CAROLINE ON UP THE STEEP HILL

165. AND THEN DOWN THE OTHER SIDE TOWARD THE STATION.

166. STEPNEY WAS ALREADY THERE WHEN CAROLINE CLUTTERED IN.

167. "WE NEED OUR BALL BACK,"

168. CRIED THE PLAYERS AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING.

169. THE BALL WAS NESTLED UNDER SOME STRAW

170. IN THE THIRD CAR FROM THE VAN.

171. "WE'VE FOUND IT,"

172. CRIED A PLAYER.

173. "WE'RE SORRY,"

174. SIGHED THE DRIVER.

175. "OH, YOU COULDN'T HELP IT,"

176. REPLIED THE PLAYER.

177. "NOW WE MUST GET BACK QUICKLY."

178. "YOU'LL BE LUCKY,"

179. SAID THE DRIVER.

180. "CAROLINE LOOKS WORN OUT."

181. AND SHE WAS.

182. THE DRIVER SPOKE TO THE STATIONMASTER

183. AND THE SIGNALMAN

184. AND THEY ALL AGREED ON A PLAN.

185. SOON THEY HAD ROLLED CAROLINE ONTO A FLAT CAR

186. WITH A BRAKE VAN COUPLED BEHIND.

187. THE PLAYERS CROWDED INSIDE AND STEPNEY PULLED THE TRAIN

188. BACK TO THE PLAYING FIELD.

189. EVERYONE ENJOYED WATCHING THE GAME.

190. EVEN CAROLINE WAS PLEASED.

191. SHE DOESN'T THINK TRAINS SILLY NOW.

192. "THEY HAVE THEIR USES.

193. THEY CAN SAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON A POOR CAR'S WHEELS!"
