00:00One day, the Fat Controller arranged with Thomas the Tank Engine to take his wife and grandchildren to the seaside.
00:08The sun shone and everywhere looked splendid.
00:12But Lady Hat was feeling hot and tired.
00:16She took her troubles out on Annie and Clarabel.
00:19Those coaches are old and uncomfortable. Why don't you use them as beach huts instead?
00:24Thomas was most upset.
00:26You won't let them turn Annie and Clarabel into beach huts, will you?
00:29Of course not, Thomas, replied his driver.
00:32But I must admit they could be smartened up.
00:35The next day, the Fat Controller used Percy to take his family to Harold's airfield.
00:48They were just about to board Harold when it happened.
00:59What? Where's that? gasped the Fat Controller.
01:06That's Tiger Moth, rumbled Harold.
01:09It's rude and flies much too low.
01:12So I can see. Please take us up, Harold, before there's another disturbance.
01:17A few days later, Harold arrived at their holiday home with bad news.
01:23It's Tiger Moth, said Harold's pilot.
01:26It's gone missing. Do you wish to join the search with us?
01:29I think I'd better.
01:54There's Tiger Moth, called the Fat Controller.
02:00Then he spoke to the pilot.
02:03You were showing off and flying dangerously.
02:06I will speak to your controller and request that you are grounded.
02:10Yes, sir, replied the pilot.
02:12Now, if you'll excuse me, I shall return to my holiday.
02:16Jolly good idea, sir.
02:24The Fat Controller had arranged to meet up with Toby and Henrietta
02:29to take them somewhere special.
02:36They arrived at a small river inlet.
02:40What a beautiful boat, exclaimed the children.
02:43It's my special treat.
02:46The Fat Controller took the helm with his wife beside him.
02:50It's sure nice to be away from the railway for once, he said to her.
02:54And far cleaner, she replied.
02:57But life on the river is very different from that on the rails.
03:08The family were enjoying themselves so much
03:11that they forgot to watch where they were going.
03:15Botheration, said the Fat Controller.
03:18We're stuck!
03:20And they were.
03:22Other boats tried to pull them off the mud bank, but it was no use.
03:27Percy saw the commotion and stopped.
03:31Is there anything we can do to help, called his driver.
03:35Yes, indeed, there is, replied the Fat Controller.
03:39This is the life, isn't it, dear?
03:42This is the life, isn't it, dear?
03:52Soon they arrived at a small station.
03:55There was Thomas with Annie and Clarabel
03:58who were looking as smart as their new paint inside and out.
04:02My! exclaimed Lady Hut.
04:04What splendid coaches!
04:06So much more suitable than those old beach huts on wheels.
04:09No-one said a word.
04:16But that evening Annie and Clarabel spoke to Thomas.
04:19It's very nice to get compliments, but no matter what we look like,
04:23we'll always be useful, won't we, Thomas?
04:26Of course, their friend replied.
