Episode Review: Season 18, Episode 1 - Ole Reliable Edward

Written By: Andrew Brenner

Air Date: August 25th, 2014(UK)

Summary

One day Gordon got stuck on his hill because he thought some red trousers was a danger sign. After Edward was slow at shunting Gordon up the hill Gordon started teasing him about how old he was.
That night at the shed's the engine's teased Gordon to get back at him for teasing Edward. The next day Thomas said he would have a race with Gordon.

What Thomas really did was get Gordon stuck on his hill a second time by slowing down in front of him, so Edward would have to help him get up. The trick worked and Gordon said sorry and thank you to Edward and didn't tease him about being old anymore.

Review

This episode was really good and based somewhat on the Railway Series. It's nice to see episode's without rhyming again. Thomas seems to have a more cheeky expression on his face now with the new ARC animation.
