00:00One summer's day, Thomas and Percy were idling in the station when Bertie the Bus arrived.
00:06Have you noticed something? said Bertie.
00:08What sort of something? asked Thomas.
00:10The Fat Controller, he seems different, replied Bertie.
00:14I did see him staring at the clouds this morning, said Percy.
00:18I wonder why?
00:20The reason was simple.
00:23It was Lady Hat's birthday and Sir Topham had a new outfit.
00:27It's perfect for my birthday party, said his wife.
00:30You'll look splendid, Topham dear.
00:32And I'll wear my finest hat just for you, he replied.
00:36Your birthday is a great occasion.
00:38It is, so don't be late.
00:40Don't worry, my dear, I shall be spick and span and right on time.
00:45Later that day, the Fat Controller had changed into his new suit.
00:49You look fine, sir, said the station master.
00:52You'd best be going.
00:53Indeed, agreed the Fat Controller.
00:56The engines are busy, I'll take car.
00:58Is it reliable? asked the station master.
01:01Certainly, said the Fat Controller.
01:04But it wasn't.
01:10As he sped along, he suddenly saw a large hole in the road.
01:15He braked hard, but it was too late.
01:18Bother, now I've got a puncture.
01:21If I change my wheel, I'm sure to dirty my suit and that would never do.
01:26Just then, he heard Caroline.
01:32I have to attend my wife's birthday party and I cannot be late.
01:36Please give me a lift.
01:37I'll try, sir.
01:42But Caroline didn't like going fast.
01:44I'm hot, my engine will overheat.
01:47And it did.
01:51Told you so, said Caroline sadly.
01:54Bother, bother.
01:58Then he heard a loud whistle.
02:00It was George the steamroller.
02:02George was cross when he saw Caroline.
02:04Call yourself a car, you're a disgrace to the road.
02:08Find yourself a scrapyard.
02:10Caroline spluttered in fury.
02:12George's driver was more polite.
02:14Can I be of assistance, sir?
02:16Only if you can get me to my wife's birthday party, sighed the Fat Controller.
02:20We can take you to Thomas, replied the driver.
02:23He's just down the line.
02:25Much obliged.
02:26And they rumbled away.
02:29What about me?
02:30Well, Caroline, I'll send for help, called the Fat Controller.
02:34Stay there.
02:36That's all I can do.
02:43George was enjoying rolling along the lane.
02:46But not the Fat Controller.
02:47Oil splashed everywhere.
02:50Worse was to follow.
02:52Help, cried George.
02:54Something snapped.
02:57He veered out of control and the Fat Controller landed in a muddy ditch
03:01close to where Thomas was taking on water.
03:04Bother, bother.
03:06Thomas had never seen the Fat Controller in such a mess.
03:11Can I help you, sir? asked Thomas' driver.
03:14Yes, please.
03:15Get me to the station as fast as you can.
03:18I'm afraid our fireman's been taken ill.
03:20Then I'll be your fireman, sighed the Fat Controller.
03:23Thomas was excited.
03:26The Fat Controller had to work hard.
03:29Coal dust and smut flew everywhere.
03:39And at last, they reached the station.
03:50The Fat Controller looked at the clock.
03:52Just in time, he gasped.
03:54He hurriedly picked up a huge bunch of flowers.
03:59Good luck, called Thomas.
04:02The Fat Controller's wife was waiting for him.
04:05As the clock struck three, there stood Sir Topham Hatt.
04:09Tired but triumphant, he gave his wife the flowers.
04:14Well, thank you, my dear.
04:15I knew this was a special birthday party, but I didn't know it was fancy dress.
04:20Everyone laughed.
04:23And then the party began.
