S5 Ep.21: A Surprise For Percy

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

A SURPRISE FOR PERCY
Written by
Britt Allcroft and David Mitton 

Directed by
David Mitton 

Air Date:
24/10/98

Plot:
Percy is bored of shunting trucks here there and everywhere at the coal yards. But he was given a surprise from them. 

PRO:
- 'You'll never know a surprise might happen' a great moral .

CON:
- The trucks would never go at that speed down a hill.
- Two planks of wood would not stop the trucks going down the hill again.


The beginning of the coupling snapping, I use to like these when I was a kid as it adds a bit of drama, but to be honest, in real life, the trucks would never run about around the line at such dangerous speed that and the two planks of wood. The moral of the story is good though, the moral I wrote on my pro list and it can almost go with this 'You'll never know'. 

Rating: 3/5
