S8 Ep.24: Too Hot For Thomas

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

TOO HOT FOR THOMAS
Written by 
Paul Larson 

Directed by
Steve Asquith 

Air Date:
24/10/04

Plot:
The summer season arrived and the engines were taking holiday makers to seaside. But Thomas was helping out making deliveries to the Ice Cream factory. At the seaside, the ice cream ran out! So Thomas has to collect cream, strawberries and cocoa powder. But with him rushing his job, Thomas accidentally spilt the chocolate powder everywhere! 

PRO:
-N/A

CON:
- Thomas should care more about his job then taking children.
- The chocolate and strawberries are being loaded in an unhygienic way.


This episode is not great or good but its in an OK level. But the writer should at least make Thomas care more about his work then taking children to the seaside just like him back in the old days of the series and how the way the chocolate and strawberries were loaded onto the trucks was unhygienic, they should covered up with a tarpaulin or they should've been loaded onto a brake van. I know its a kids show now, but as I said before in my 'Gordon and Ferdinand' review last year, the Rev.W.Awdry focus his stories on railway realism and that is how Thomas started. This episode is OK, but it could've been done better. 

Rating: 2.5/5
