S6 Ep.19: Buffer Bother

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

BUFFER BOTHER
Written By
Ross Hastings

Directed By
David Mitton

 Air Date:
24/09/02

Plot:
Ben went to the works to get some new buffers as his old ones had been damaged. But Bill was envy as he wanted new buffers too.

PRO:
- I do like the continuity of Bill and Ben not being at the china clay works.
- Ben's new buffers look great!
- A great moral for kids saying 'You can't always get what you want.'

CON:
N/A


Why do I like the continuity? Well despite that Bill and Ben still have their SCC livery with them, they work at the quarry now since the China clay works (In the TV series, they still work at the China Clay pits in the RWS, around the time of publication a few years back.) had been buried and damaged due to a rock slide in the third season, Bill and Ben were given a new lease of life at the quarry. But that's just me. I do like Ben's new buffers, but I knew that later on they will be forgotten. But all in all, the episode is great and Mavis' maturity is really growing during the time of the classic era. 

Rating: 4/5
