00:00Oh, the indignity. Gordon is the grandest engine on Sodor.
00:12He puffs the fastest, steams the strongest, and pulls the express, which makes him very proud.
00:26One morning, Gordon huffed into the steamworks. He was grumpy.
00:33Good morning, Gordon, my friend.
00:36There's nothing good about it. The wheels on my express carriages are wobbling and wibbling, and I have to be at Brendam by tea time to pick up the island inspector.
00:50No problem, Gordon. We fix wobbling wheels. Over there, please, next to Whiff and Scruff. Scruff has a scrunched scruncher.
01:02Gordon stared snootily. Whiff was whiffy.
01:07Hello, Gordon.
01:09Gordon sniffed sniffily.
01:12Hello.
01:14My name's Whiff, and this is Scruff the scruncher.
01:19I know.
01:21Then the Fat Controller arrived.
01:24Gordon, I have a very important job for you.
01:29Of course, sir.
01:31Today is Clean Sodor Day. It will be a very busy day at Whiff's waste dump. Scruff's scruncher has scrunched.
01:41Whiff will wait with him here, so you, Gordon, must be in charge of Whiff's waste dump.
01:48Oh, what fun!
01:51Oh, what an honour!
01:53Oh, the indignity!
01:56Gordon didn't want to work at Whiff's waste dump. Gordon thought it was the smelliest place on Sodor.
02:06Good luck, Gordon!
02:10And Gordon huffed heavily away.
02:14Gordon steamed snootily into Whiff's waste dump. It was smelly.
02:22Oh, the indignity!
02:25Then Gordon heard a worrying whistle.
02:30Bust my buffers! It's Spencer! I cannot let Spencer see that I'm working at the dump! He'll laugh until his boiler bursts! I must hide!
02:42So Gordon chuffed quickly away as Spencer slid smugly into the dump.
02:51Pumping pistons! What a pong!
02:55This is the pongiest place I've ever puffed to!
02:59Which pongy engine is in charge here?
03:02Gordon gasped and Gordon gulped. He hardly dared puff.
03:08I've left the Duke and Duchess's rubbish to pong with all the rest!
03:14And Spencer steamed snootily away.
03:19Gordon puffed slowly out of hiding.
03:24Oh, the indignity! Which pongy engine is in charge here?
03:30I am not a pongy engine! I am Gordon, fastest and best, and pulls the express!
03:38Just then Gordon heard another whistle.
03:43Fizzling fireboxes! It's James! I cannot let James see that I'm working at the dump! He's the snootiest Sodor engine! I must hide!
03:54So Gordon chuffed quickly away as James huffed heavily in.
04:00Whiffy woo! What a mess! This must be the stinkiest spot on Sodor!
04:09Gordon shuddered and juddered.
04:12Only stinky steamies work here!
04:22Oh, the indignity! I'm not a stinky steamie! I am Gordon, fastest and best, and pulls the express!
04:31Now I suppose I must shunt these whiffy wagons to the rubbish crusher!
04:38Just then Gordon heard a hoot.
04:42Flaming funnels! It's Diesel! I cannot let Diesel see that I'm working at the dump! He will tease me terribly! I must hide!
04:52He will tease me terribly! I must hide!
04:56So Gordon chuffed quickly away as Diesel oiled in.
05:03Smells and bells! Only a stinky steamie could leave all these stinky trucks here!
05:10Gordon's rods rattled.
05:13Then there was trouble.
05:15The Fat Controller arrived on Thomas.
05:19Whiff chuffed behind with Scruff.
05:23The Fat Controller was cross.
05:27Whiff's waste dump was a mess.
05:30Rubbish trucks were everywhere. They hadn't been emptied into the rubbish crusher, and Gordon was nowhere to be seen.
05:39Gordon! Where are you?
05:44Gordon shuddered with shame.
05:47Here I am, sir.
05:50But try as he might, Gordon couldn't puff out to the Fat Controller.
05:56All the tracks were blocked by trucks.
06:01Oh, the indignity!
06:04No, Gordon! Oh, the silliness!
06:08On Clean Sword all day, no job was more important than to be in charge of Whiff's waste dump!
06:16Gordon stopped huffing and heaving.
06:20Sir, I have not been a really useful engine.
06:25I thought I was too grand to work with rubbish.
06:29But I was being silly.
06:32Whiff, you are a very grand and important engine.
06:37Whiff was surprised. No one had called him grand before.
06:42Don't worry, Gordon. I can help you.
06:46No, I can help you.
06:49I will shunt all these rubbish trucks into the rubbish crusher.
06:54Please, sir, may Whiff pull the express carriage to Brendam Docks to pick up the island inspector?
07:01Yes, he can.
07:04Whiff thought his pistons would pop with pride.
07:09Thank you, Gordon. Right away, Gordon.
07:13Express coming through.
07:19I'll help you, Gordon.
07:22Thank you, Scruff. I'll huff and I'll puff till the whole dump is clean.
07:28You can do it, Gordon.
07:34So Gordon heaved and hauled.
07:38Scruff shunted and shoved.
07:42It was hard, hard work.
07:45It took a long, long time.
07:49But Gordon didn't give up.
07:53Later, Whiff's waste dump was tidy and clean.
07:58Then Whiff chuffed cheerfully in with the fat controller and the island inspector.
08:05And this, sir, is Whiff's waste dump.
08:10Whiff is usually in charge. Today he has been helped by Gordon.
08:17Very good work, Gordon. Very good work indeed.
08:22This made Gordon very proud indeed.
08:26Whiff whistled. Scruff cheered.
08:30Hooray!
08:31And Gordon glowed.
08:33Hooray for Clean Sodor Day. A job well done.
08:38I may be quite smelly, but it really was fun.
