S2 Ep.9: Percy and Harold

Sorry that this was delayed, due to some complications with the computer. My opinions may change for this episode then the the last post.
 
THESE ARE SOLEY MY OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE

PERCY AND HAROLD
 Originally Written By
The Rev.W.Awdry

Adapted for Television By
Britt Allcroft and David Mitton 

Air Date:
3/10/86

Plot:
Percy challenges a helicopter called Harold to a race to the harbour.

PRO:
- Harold's model work and propeller arms
- Harold's theme music

CON:
- Thomas' apperance was not needed.
- Percy was suppose to meet with Toby at the station and not the quarry

The episode did stuck close with the original story, but visual wise, not so great. When Percy met up with Toby, it was suppose to be at Ffarquhar station and not the quarry, which would lead to a continuation error as 'Percy's Predicament' says, 'Percy had never been to the quarry before..." But what I like about the episode is Harold. I love the model work and I do like how they made his propeller arms, despite being a disc with red lining, kudos to the model makers and as well as the music. The theme music sound like an acient greek warrior going into battle. The episode is good and I do enjoy it.

Rating: 4/5
