Many people I know thought this episode was going to be bad due to that some sheep were being used in the episode. While the episode is simple, it was nice and you would call it a S13-16 episode done better, like 'Timothy and the Rainbow Truck'. Percy was in character and he doesn't act dumbed down like he did in the past as he was showing the moral that we shouldn't rush about or overcompensate.
With that now out of the way, I love the music that was used for the countryside, the nice guitar work brings in the lovely and simple countryside feeling. It gave that very early classic series vibe, the episode overall. Percy and Gordon's part brought up 'Percy and the Signal' and I hope we see an episode with those two in future, even though I wish the writer flesh out Gordon's good hearted side, as I think his pompous attitude is starting to get annoying. The CGI for the countryside was lovely too so credits to Arc Productions on that and the humour was good as well when it comes to the sheep. In the end it was a fine episode and it's good to see some simpleness in the series still. It's a nice slice of life story.
