S9 Ep.8: Thomas and The Birthday Picnic

THESE ARE SOLEY MY OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE 

THOMAS AND THE BIRTHDAY PICNIC

Written by

Sharon Miller

Directed by

Steve Asquith 

Air Date:

25/09/05

Plot:

It was Dowager Hatt's, the Fat Controller Birthday and the Fat Controller chose Thomas to take them for a birthday picnic, however with the field being plower, the castle being repaired and giving them the most uncomfortable ride. But in the end Thomas and his friends gave Dowager Hatt the best birthday party ever. 

PRO:
- The three strikes isn't that bad to be honest
- Great to see that The Fat Controller's mother was given a name

CON:

- Why can't the Fat Controller decided a place for his mother and not one of his engines.

- You can hear the rhyming and alliteration in this episode. 

I find this episode a decent one and yet it was Sharon Miller's first contribution towards the show. The three strikes aren't that bad but they will of course be painfully oblivious to see between S13-16. However you can hear the early stages of rhyming and alliteration in this episode mainly at the end. 

Rating: 3/5
