Plot:
With the Harvest season, the Fat Controller decided to have fireworks for Harvest Day. Thomas wanted to take the fireworks but had chosen James. Later on the red engine broke down and Thomas has to help him, will they bring the fireworks in time?
PRO:
- The fireworks being transported into vans.
CON:
- James' breakdown was never explained.
- Why would the Fat Controller worry the children's bed time and not his railway?
- Surely the signalman knew Thomas and James are coming.
The episode is OK, but could've done better. I have to say, I like how James broke down, but it was never explained. But being a railway enthusiast, I believe maybe a pipe burst in his boiler judging by the loud bang. But I like it how the fireworks are transported into vans and not in open wagons, like later on in the season. The episode is OK, but would've been better.
Rating: 3.5/5
