00:00Percy and the Bandstand
00:05It was summertime on the island of Sodor.
00:10The Fat Controller was in Great Waterton with Miss Jenny, Jack and Alfie.
00:21They were building a new bandstand.
00:25There was to be an open air concert that evening.
00:29It was a special surprise for Lady Hat.
00:33She loved brass bands.
00:38All the engines were busy helping to make the day special.
00:48Edward was bringing special parcels.
00:54Thomas was bringing the banners and bunting.
00:59And Percy was bringing gravel for the pathways.
01:13Thank you, Percy. Right on time.
01:17Percy tried to shunt the trucks into place.
01:21But the trucks decided to be troublesome.
01:25Hold back! Hold back!
01:29Percy pushed and pushed, but the trucks wouldn't move.
01:33Percy knew what he had to do. He had to use his do-as-I-say whistle.
01:38So Percy blew his whistle long and loudly.
01:44The trucks knew that when Percy blew his do-as-I-say whistle, they had to do what he wanted.
01:50It meant Percy was in charge.
01:52Soon, all the trucks were in line.
01:56The Fat Controller bustled over to Percy.
01:59I hope I didn't blow my whistle too loudly.
02:02Not at all, Percy. You showed you were in charge.
02:06Percy was relieved.
02:09Now, I need you to collect Lady Hat and bring her to the surprise concert.
02:14You must be here by tea time. Understand?
02:17Yes, sir.
02:18You mustn't tell her where she's going, or it will spoil the surprise.
02:24Don't worry, sir. I won't.
02:28Percy had collected the carriage.
02:31He had to meet Lady Hat at Maithwaite Station.
02:35It was a long way from Great Waterton.
02:40At last, Percy puffed into Maithwaite Station.
02:44All aboard!
02:45Sir Topham Hatt has sent me to take you on a special trip.
02:49Oh, that sounds lovely.
02:52First of all, I'd like to go to the duck pond.
02:56And Lady Hat climbed on board.
03:00Percy was worried.
03:02He was supposed to take Lady Hat to the bandstand.
03:05That was her special trip.
03:08Percy knew there wasn't time to go to the duck pond, but he didn't dare tell Lady Hat.
03:13He thought she might be cross.
03:16So he puffed to the duck pond.
03:21Lady Hat stood by the duck pond.
03:24She liked watching the ducks.
03:26They quacked and quacked.
03:29But Percy wanted them to be on their way.
03:34At last, Lady Hat was back on board.
03:38Next, I'd like to go to the windmill.
03:40Percy was very worried.
03:43He knew there wasn't time to go to the windmill,
03:46but he didn't feel brave enough to tell Lady Hat.
03:49So Percy puffed away.
03:54When they arrived at the windmill, Dusty Miller was there.
03:59Lady Hat was pleased.
04:02Hello, Dusty. How are you?
04:05We're going to be really late now.
04:07Percy huffed to himself.
04:10At last, Lady Hat finished talking to Dusty.
04:14Now, Percy, I'd like to see the bluebells in the woods.
04:18It would be the perfect end to my special trip.
04:21Percy was more worried than ever.
04:29Percy puffed to the woods.
04:32But with every puff, he was getting later and later.
04:35And further and further from Lady Hat's surprise.
04:41Percy and Lady Hat arrived at the wood.
04:47Lady Hat wandered off to admire the bluebells.
04:52Percy waited and waited.
04:57Suddenly, Thomas puffed up to Percy.
05:00Where have you been, Percy?
05:02Where have you been, Percy?
05:05The Fat Controller is cross. He doesn't want Lady Hat to be late.
05:09Percy didn't want the Fat Controller to be cross.
05:13He didn't want the surprise to be spoiled.
05:16Don't worry. I'll have her there on time.
05:20So Thomas puffed away.
05:24Percy couldn't see Lady Hat anywhere.
05:28Percy knew what he had to do.
05:30He had to use his do-as-I-say whistle.
05:34Percy blew his whistle long and loudly.
05:39Lady Hat came out of the woods.
05:43Percy, what do you want?
05:46I'm taking you to a surprise.
05:49That's your special trip.
05:52Oh, I love surprises. Why didn't you tell me?
05:56Because I thought you'd be cross with me if I told you what to do.
05:58And now we might be late. We must hurry.
06:03So Lady Hat climbed quickly on board.
06:07And Percy raced away.
06:12Percy steamed back to Great Waterton as fast as he could.
06:18The band was warming up.
06:21Jack and Alfie were very excited.
06:25Percy had arrived with Lady Hat on time.
06:30The band started to play.
06:35Lady Hat was delighted.
06:39Oh, what a lovely surprise.
06:42Thank you for bringing me here on time, Percy.
06:46And thank you, Percy, for keeping it a surprise.
06:49Percy was pleased.
06:51His do-as-I-say whistle had saved the day.
06:54It had been really useful.
06:57And so had Percy.
