Summary

The engines were at the sheds discussing gremlins when Sir Top Ham Hatt came and gave a special job to Gordon, he was to take a vip. Percy saw him waiting at the turn table, it broke, but the workmen soon fixed it and then Gordon was on his way.

After he left the station Thomas took on water, Gordon said Thomas made him late so the driver made up for lost time, but the vip didn't like the speed. When they got to the station the vips' dog got scared and ran in Thomas' cab, they took the dog all the way to the docks.

At the docks the driver asked what the dogs' name was, she said it was gremlin, after what had happened that day, then Thomas asked Sir Top Ham Hatt who the vip was, Sir Top Ham Hatt said it was his mother.

Review

This episode was funny, I didn't like Sir Top Hat Hatt's laugh at the end though. I don't know why Sir Top Ham Hatt's mother named the dog gremlin because he didn't cause the trouble that Gordon had on the turn table and at the shed. 

Over all I give this episode a 3/10
