SPECIAL ATTRACTION
Originally Written by

Adapted for Television by
Britt Allcroft and David Mitton
Air Date:
1/5/95
Plot:
The seaside is hosting a 'special attraction' and Toby is to be one. But they don't have room and don't need a special attraction at all. Meanwhile, there is trouble at the harbour and it was Bulstrode a disagreeable barge who never stops complaining. He wanted the trucks to be shunted, but as Percy pushed the trucks they burst through buffers and landed right down on the barge. Bulstrode was left stranded on the beach until he is useful.
PRO:
- The crash was awesome!
CON:
- Why put the two stories together. Toby's seaside happened in the past and Bulstrode happened in recent time.
- Why were buffers and then a few miles further on, there is still more track?
I don't see why they merged these two stories together? 'Toby's Seaside Holiday' would be an episode itself as well as 'Bulstrode' and I don't know why there is more track when the trucks burst through some buffers? But then again the crash is just awesome and I do enjoy it. The episode is OK, but they should've kept the Bulstrode part as an episode itself.
Rating: 3/5
