00:00I need to get indoors, and fast!
00:07Whoa, I hope this storm doesn't cause too much damage.
00:27The next morning, the storm was over. Luckily, no-one was hurt, but the school at Harwick
00:33had been badly damaged, and the children couldn't use it again until it was rebuilt.
00:39Steady now! Stop pushing! Oh, not so loud!
00:48Oh dear, what's the problem?
00:51All the children from Harwick School have to come to school in Knappford now, and I'm
00:58the one who had to bring them this morning.
01:00That sounds like a fun job.
01:02Fun? Crumbs on my lovely upholstery, sticky fingers on my beautiful clean windows, and
01:09don't even mention my springs. You'll have to take them home this afternoon, Thomas.
01:15I'm off to see my fitter.
01:18But, Daisy, I'm busy on my own branch line.
01:22I could do it, Thomas. I'd love that. I'll just take these trucks to the scrapyard and
01:27find myself a coach.
01:29Aha! Here's something that can be reused. Oh, hello, Duck.
01:36Hello, Radge. Why are you so excited about an old car tyre?
01:41An old car tyre to you, Duck, but bung on a couple of chains, and this'll make a brilliant
01:46swing for the kiddies' playground. Repair, recycle, reuse.
01:51Ha! With a new leg, this could be repaired and good as new.
01:55Love to stop and chat, Radge, but I'm in a bit of a hurry today.
01:59Oh, all right. Bye, then.
02:02Oh dear. But it could be recycled as a lovely flowerpot.
02:09Now, where can I find a coach?
02:16Right, there's Hannah. She doesn't look busy.
02:20I have a very special job for you, Hannah. Collecting the children from school.
02:25Ooh, yay!
02:28Oh, can we go fast? Children love going fast.
02:32No, Hannah. There are two ways of doing things.
02:36The great western way or the wrong way.
02:39Faster, Duke, faster! Please!
02:46My coach! Duck, wait!
02:50Stop!
02:56Sorry, Duck. I need Hannah while Henriette is at the steamworks.
03:01Oh, sorry, Toobie. I'm sure I'll find another coach.
03:06That was easier said than done.
03:09Hello, Edward. Will you be using these slipcoaches all afternoon?
03:14Yes, Duck. I'm afraid I will.
03:17Sorry, Duck. We'll be up at Callan Castle. Have to go now. Bye!
03:22Er, Gordon, no!
03:25Right.
03:29Why is there never a spare coach around when you need one?
03:34Hello. Who's that? Who's looking for a coach?
03:38Who said that?
03:40Over here, that's it. This way.
03:42You said you were looking for a coach and here I am.
03:45I'm Dexter.
03:47I'm Duck. How long have you been here?
03:51I was shunted here years ago when me axles went.
03:54But what's the job? I'm ready to roll.
03:56Well, I'm not sure...
03:58Come on, chop-chop. Just pull me out and we'll be on our way.
04:01Well, I do need a coach.
04:10That's it, keep going. Nearly there.
04:16I'm sorry, Dexter. I do need a coach, but I need one I can actually pull.
04:23I can be useful, honestly. I just need some new wheels.
04:27Any kind of wheels.
04:29I'm not fussy.
04:33Speedy racing wheels! Whee!
04:38Monster truck wheels! Ha-ha!
04:42Caterpillar trucks! I can go anywhere!
04:56Duck felt bad about leaving his new friend.
04:59But Dexter's wheels wouldn't work.
05:02So what could Duck do?
05:04Duck? Where are you going?
05:07Thomas told me you were collecting the children from school today.
05:11Sorry, Daisy. I wanted to, but I can't find a working coach.
05:16I'm afraid I won't be able to help with the school run after all.
05:19Well, I can't do it.
05:21And it could be months before that school gets repaired.
05:25And that's when Duck had an idea.
05:28Repaired? What did Reg say again?
05:31Repair, recycle, reuse!
05:35Excuse me, Duck?
05:37All this time I've been looking for a coach, but that's not really the problem at all!
05:42Bye, Daisy!
05:52Did you find yourself a coach to pick up the children, Duck?
05:56Actually, I found something even better!
06:02DOORBELL RINGS
06:06Ha-ha! Duck!
06:08Hello, Dexter. Meet Judy and Jerome.
06:11Hello there, Dexter.
06:13We've come to get you out of here.
06:15You mean I'll soon be back on my wheels?
06:17Er, not exactly. But you are going to be really useful.
06:32Thank you, Duck. It's lovely to be really useful again.
06:37Like I always say, Dexter, there are two ways of...
06:44So although Dexter's wheels couldn't be repaired,
06:47he could be reused as a school classroom.
