00:00Thomas and the billboard.
00:03Knappford is the biggest station on the island of Solon.
00:08All the engines love its bustling busyness.
00:11Today was a very special day.
00:14It was Knappford station's birthday and there was going to be a grand party.
00:19All the engines were very excited.
00:22They were to have their photograph taken.
00:25The photograph was going to be put up on a billboard.
00:29Thomas felt very proud.
00:32I've never been on a billboard before.
00:34But the photographer was having trouble fitting all the engines into the photograph.
00:39Um, move back a bit there, James.
00:43Uh, and you forward, Percy.
00:46Yes, that's good, that's good.
00:48Now, Diesel, can you move in?
00:51Diesel moved in.
00:53The camera flashed.
00:55Thomas didn't know that Diesel had rolled right in front of him.
00:59And neither did Diesel.
01:02Later that day, Thomas puffed into Marron station to pick up the new billboard.
01:08He was very excited.
01:11But when Thomas saw it, he was very disappointed.
01:15Diesel's right in front of me, Thomas thought sadly.
01:19No one can see me at all.
01:23Thomas puffed towards Knapford.
01:27Diesel moved in front of me on purpose, puffed Thomas to himself.
01:31Thomas felt cross.
01:33He wasn't looking where he was going.
01:36Then there was trouble.
01:38There was a cow on the line.
01:40Thomas turned quickly into a siding just in time.
01:44He hit the buffers.
01:47And the billboard flew into the lake.
01:52Thomas went to tell the photographer what had happened.
01:58Don't worry, I'll take another photograph.
02:01Tell all the engines to meet me at Tidmouth Sheds.
02:04Thomas was about to set off.
02:07Then he saw Diesel.
02:09Thomas knew he should tell Diesel about the new photograph,
02:13but Thomas was worried.
02:15What if Diesel spoils this one too, thought Thomas.
02:19So Thomas didn't tell Diesel.
02:26Soon all the engines, except Diesel, were back at Tidmouth.
02:31Gordon was cross.
02:34Mr Giggles, the famous clown, is coming to the party tonight.
02:38I must collect him from the airport.
02:40I must not be late.
02:42And I have to pick up the brass band from Brendam Docks.
02:45And I have to collect the bunting and decorations from Wellsworth.
02:49Okay, I'll fetch the photographer right away.
02:53Thomas was steaming to Manor.
02:56Then he saw Diesel.
02:59Diesel was puffing straight to Tidmouth.
03:03Thomas was worried.
03:05Now Diesel would find out about the new photograph.
03:09So Thomas turned onto a branch line and he raced back to Tidmouth.
03:16There's been a mistake. You'll all have to come back later.
03:20The engines were very cross.
03:24Soon they had all gone.
03:27And Diesel trundled straight by.
03:32Later, Thomas had gathered the engines again.
03:39Then Thomas went to Marron to collect the photographer.
03:44Just as the photographer was climbing on board, Thomas saw Diesel.
03:49Now Diesel would see the photographer.
03:52And he would find out about the new photograph.
03:55So Thomas wheeshed lots of steam.
03:59It billowed from his boiler and filled the whole station.
04:04So Diesel didn't see the photographer.
04:07And he trundled straight by.
04:11The steam has made my camera wet.
04:14I'm sorry, sir.
04:16We'll have to wait for it to dry.
04:18Tell the engines to come back later to Tidmouth.
04:23So all the engines came back later, instead of doing their jobs.
04:30At last the photographer was ready.
04:33No one had noticed Diesel wasn't there.
04:36Thomas was very relieved.
04:39But just then, Diesel oiled round the bend.
04:43Diesel was surprised to see all the engines.
04:46He screeched to a halt.
04:48Rolls of bunting went everywhere.
04:52No one told me there was another photograph.
04:55But I asked Thomas to tell everyone.
04:59All the engines looked at Thomas.
05:02Thomas felt terrible.
05:05The fat controller was very cross.
05:08Gordon, you were meant to pick up Mr Giggles, the famous clown.
05:12Emily, you were meant to pick up the brass band.
05:16And James, you were meant to pick up the bunting and decorations.
05:21None of you arrived.
05:23So Diesel had to do all your jobs.
05:26And now he is late to do his homework.
05:30Thomas was very upset.
05:32It's all my fault, sir.
05:34I didn't want Diesel to know about the new photograph.
05:37In the last one, he moved right in front of me.
05:40On purpose.
05:42I did not.
05:43The photographer told me to move.
05:46I did.
05:47Perhaps you rolled too far.
05:50Thomas knew then he'd made a mistake.
05:53I'm sorry, Diesel.
05:54I was wrong to think you did it on purpose.
05:57And I'm very sorry for causing all this trouble, sir.
06:01Soon, all the engines were lined up.
06:07The new photograph was taken.
06:12Sir, if I do all Diesel's jobs, can he collect a new billboard?
06:17That's a wonderful idea, Thomas.
06:20Diesel agreed.
06:24For the rest of the day, Thomas worked hard.
06:28He did all Diesel's jobs.
06:31And Diesel picked up the new billboard,
06:34just in time for the celebrations.
06:38It was a wonderful party.
06:41There were clowns and a brass band.
06:45Diesel and Thomas agreed that the new billboard
06:48was the best billboard they'd ever seen.
06:52It was the best billboard they'd ever seen.
