S4 Ep.9 Home at Last

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

HOME AT LAST
Originally Written by
The Rev.W.Awdry

Adapted for Television by
Britt Allcroft and David Mitton 

Air Date:
10/10/94

Plot:
Skarloey came back from the works, Rusty took him home back to Crovans Gate and surprised the injured Peter Sam. He told him about Duncan who rock and roll's. One day, Duncan was stuck in a tunnel and Skarloey got the works train and headed towards the tunnel. Duncan was free and Skarloey  pushed him all the way home. Much to the Fat Controller's anger he threat Duncan that he'll be cut down to size and that made Duncan silent for the rest of the night.

PRO:
- The tunnel scene was filmed well.

CON:
- Shame they haven't made the new coaches like in the RWS book.

Despite that most scenes aren't what they're like in the book, it was a nice adaptation. It's a shame they haven't made the new coaches who are Ada, Jane and Mabel and Cora, it would've been nice to see some saloon carriages as well. But I love how the tunnel was made all broken it looked a bit realistic. The adaptation is OK, despite that the Fat Controller is running the Skarloey Railway.

Rating: 4.5/5
