Plot:
It was summer and the gangers were cutting up long hay and dry them up in the sun. Percy takes them to the station to Toby who takes them to the farm to let the farmers feed the animals. Percy was teasing Thomas about the time he scared him for being a ghost. Thomas retorted that Percy is like 'A green caterpillar with red stripes'. As Percy set off for the harbour, a crate of treacle smeared all over him. It was stuck fast and on the way home, wind came and blew all the dry hay onto him. As he arrived back the junction, everyone laughed at Percy. In the end, Thomas told Toby about Percy and they laughed, minus Percy.
PRO:
- The hay stuck up nicely on Percy.
CON:
- Trucks left in the middle of the main line.
There's nothing wrong with the episode. The adaptation was great and I enjoy it. I do love how the treacle landed on Percy and how the way the hay was all over him. That's craft man ship.
Rating: 4/5
