00:00The engines on the island of Sodor want to be responsible, reliable and really useful.
00:11They are happiest when the Fat Controller gives them important work to do.
00:18James thinks his work is very important indeed.
00:24He is proud of his red paint and likes to look clean and smart.
00:30One day, Percy puffed to the washdown.
00:34My whistle's clogged.
00:36He tried to blow hard to clean it out, but instead blew mud all over Gordon.
00:41Silly, huffed Gordon.
00:44Percy was trying not to laugh.
00:46Keep your dirt away from me. I'm collecting the mire today.
00:51I should do that.
00:54Really, chuckled James.
00:56You'd need a washdown first.
00:58Pah, snorted Gordon.
01:01James just laughed.
01:05Soon James had collected the mire and puffed proudly away.
01:11Just look at me, Gordon.
01:15Show off, grunted Gordon.
01:18The Fat Controller came to the shed.
01:22I need an engine to collect the Queen of Sodor.
01:25Who's the Queen of Sodor?
01:28A leaky old barge, replied the Fat Controller.
01:31She needs to go to the workshops. It's dirty work, I'm afraid.
01:35Just then, James shunted into the sheds.
01:40This gave Gordon an idea.
01:43Is collecting the Queen of Sodor important work too?
01:47Very important work. Do I have a volunteer?
01:51Very important work, exclaimed James.
01:53I'll do it.
01:54I'll do it.
01:55Then it's settled. She's waiting at the canal.
01:58Thank you, sir, said James.
02:04Gordon was delighted. His plan was working.
02:12I'm here to collect the Queen of Sodor, announced James.
02:16There she is, said the yard manager.
02:21James was furious.
02:23That old chump!
02:25Gordon tricked me. He wants me to get dirty.
02:28I'll show him. A shiny engine like me never gets dirty.
02:34Soon, James set off with the Queen of Sodor.
02:47A long journey to the workshops.
02:52Shiny and clean, shiny and clean, puffed James.
02:58Then there was trouble.
03:00The tall funnel of the old barge crashed through a pipe.
03:06James was sure he'd get covered in sludge, but he didn't.
03:17Shiny and clean, shiny and clean, he declared again.
03:22The workmen soon cleared the mess, and then James was on his way.
03:35He arrived safe and sound, pleased that the dirty work was done.
03:49When James returned to the sheds, he was very proud of himself.
03:53How did you manage to stay so clean?
03:56I have to stay clean, boasted James, in case there's important work to do.
04:02Just then, Percy returned from the quarry.
04:05My whistle is clogged again.
04:08Watch out, James.
04:10Dust went everywhere.
04:13I did warn you.
04:15You'll need a wash down now, teased Thomas.
04:19Good, snorted James. It will make me reddier than ever.
04:25I'm such a splendid engine.
