COWS
The Rev.W.Awdry
Adapted for Television by
Britt Allcroft, David Mitton & Robert Cardona
Air Date:
5/09/86
Plot:
One day, Edward was taking some empty cattle trucks from Brendam, on his branch line to a market. As he was making his way to his destination, he passed a field where cows are eating their food. They were not used to the engines and the steam made them scared. Just then a coupling broke and Edward left his trucks behind due to the cows. Gordon and Henry heard the news and laughed. But the two big engines got their own back.
PRO:
- New locations are seen, Brendam, Edward's branch line and Crosby station.
CON:
- Gordon's wheels were still moving while he stopped.
- The middle part of the story never happened in the book.
Another episode that didn't focus on its original story. Henry and Percy's scene were never seen nor mentioned in the RWS book. Henry didn't back his train to the last station and Percy didn't go and collect Bluebell. In the RWS book, Henry stayed on the bridge and the guard went back to the station. However I don't hate this episode. This episode is worth a watch again and again and I love the new locations that they made.
Rating: 4/5
