Plot:
The fisherman were celebrating their biggest catch of fish and Thomas and Arthur are to take a truckload of fish. But the line to Brendam was bumpy and they have to go slow and steady with five trucks at a time. However Thomas wanted the job done quick and took the lot. But due to the rough tracks and the trucks being troublesome, fish were everywhere!
PRO:
- Moral: Slow and steady and Patience
CON:
- There could be other creative titles to choose then just 'Fish'?
- The fish were being transported in the most unhygienic way.
I enjoy the episode by its double moral, something that kids can learn about going slow and steady when it comes to rough places and being patient. But however, it would've been better if the title was anything then just 'Fish', as the title was already used in S4, such as like 'A Fishy Day For Thomas' or 'Thomas' Fish' or a 'A Fish Called Thomas' (The last is based off the UK movie 'A Fish Called Wanda') But like I said before, no turning back the clock now. Plus how the way the fish was being transported looks most unhygienic and should be placed into vans, but I think with that there's no plot. But I'm glad that even during this series were there is no mention of branch line's or main line's (maybe in various episodes, yes, but with the personality traits) they manage to keep Arthur's identity well by saying he's working at the Fishing Village, after all the writer of this episode wrote 'Something Fishy' in S7. The episode is nice and I do enjoy it.
Rating: 4/5
