This episode is good, I like Millie, one of the new characters that will be making her debut in 'King of The Railway' this September. With Millie, she had a great french accent that teaches kids different words like 'bonjour' and 'au revoir'. The stare off she did with Luke was funny. I like it how when Millie and Luke were waiting for the Earl of Sodor, who will also make his debut in September as well, to see if the Thin Controller granted permission instead of Luke and Millie just puffing off without permission like in S17's predecessors. The Earl saying 'Peas in a Pod' is almost a reference to 'Thomas and Bertie' with "Like peas in a frying pan...", the castle grounds look amazing as well in CGI, it really reminded me of the castles that I've seen in Ireland and the UK, minus a narrow gauge railway. The vocabulary is being expanded well with words like 'estate' great thing to teach kids and the moral about respecting others jobs is a nice way to learn about other peoples jobs and that all jobs are important no matter what. It's a good episode and was directed well.
Rating: 4/5
