00:00James in the dark. The sun was setting at the end of another busy day on the island of Sodor.
00:13All the engines were very excited.
00:18Alicia Botti was to sing in the town square that evening.
00:25The Fat Controller had a very special job for James.
00:31James, you will bring Alicia Botti, the Mayor and the Sodor Brass Band to the concert.
00:39Yes, sir.
00:41It will be very dark tonight. You must have a lamp fitted.
00:46Yes, sir.
00:55James puffed happily to the steamworks.
01:00Victor and Kevin were there.
01:03Hello, James, my friend. Your paintwork looks especially shiny.
01:09That made James very happy.
01:12That's because everyone must look their best for the concert tonight.
01:19Sorry, boss. Slip of the hook.
01:21A workman brought a lamp for James.
01:25James didn't like the lamp.
01:28This lamp will make me look silly.
01:31Everyone at the concert will look their best except me.
01:37The workman tried to fit the lamp to James' boiler.
01:43Then to his buffer.
01:46Then to his funnel.
01:50The workman had tried his best, but still James did not like his lamp.
01:57It makes me look silly. I will not wear that silly lamp.
02:03And James puffed happily out of the steamworks to pick up the very important visitors.
02:09Later at the next junction, James met an engine.
02:13The engine was Thomas. Thomas' lamp was shining brightly.
02:18Hello, James. Where's your lamp?
02:21It was dark now. James couldn't see which engine was there.
02:26Lamps just make engines look silly. Goodbye, Henry.
02:32I'm not Henry.
02:33I'm Thomas.
02:35But James didn't hear. He was already puffing away into the darkness.
02:43The evening became darker and darker.
02:47Now James could see even less.
02:50Then there was trouble. There was a station ahead.
02:55This is where I found my lamp.
02:57Then there was trouble. There was a station ahead.
03:02This is where I pick up Alicia Botti and the Mayor.
03:11All aboard!
03:16But James hadn't picked up Alicia Botti and the Mayor.
03:21He had picked up Farmer McColl and his prize cow.
03:25James hadn't seen them on the platform. It was too dark.
03:32James could hardly see anything.
03:39At the next junction, James met an engine.
03:43The engine was Edward. Edward had his lamp on.
03:48Hello, James. Where's your lamp?
03:51James couldn't see which engine was there.
03:56Lamps make engines look silly. Goodbye, Percy.
04:01I'm not Percy. I'm Edward.
04:05But James didn't hear. He was already chuffing into the darkness.
04:14The night was now very dark.
04:17This is where I pick up the Sodor Brass Band.
04:22But it wasn't the Sodor Brass Band.
04:26It was Farmer Trotter and his herd of prize pigs.
04:31All aboard!
04:34But James couldn't see them on the platform.
04:38James couldn't see anything.
04:42It was too dark.
04:45At last, James chuffed into the town hall.
04:50The Fat Controller was waiting.
04:54Here I am, sir. I have picked up all our very important visitors.
05:00James, what have you done?
05:04You have brought Farmer McColl and his cow, and Farmer Trotter and his pigs.
05:09I was expecting Alicia Botty and the Mayor.
05:14James felt terrible.
05:17Bust my buffers! I thought a lamp made me look silly. Now I really look silly.
05:24I'm sorry, sir. This is all my fault.
05:28The Fat Controller was cross.
05:31Please, sir, I will have my lamp fixed.
05:34Please, sir, I will have my lamp fixed.
05:37Then, I will race like the wind to deliver Farmer McColl and Farmer Trotter to Brendam.
05:43Later, I will pick up the very important visitors.
05:47Just then, Thomas puffed in.
05:54He had the workman with James' lamp in his camp.
05:59This time, James let the workman fit the lamp, and he didn't feel silly.
06:07Edward steamed in.
06:10Hello, James. Your lamp looks good.
06:14I know. Now I can see really well in the dark.
06:19But you are still late, James.
06:22James was worried.
06:24Then, an idea flew into his funnel.
06:28Sir, can Thomas and Edward pick up the visitors, and I will go to Brendam?
06:34That's a good idea, James. Then, you must come straight back here.
06:40Yes, sir.
06:42So, James set off for Brendam Docks.
06:47His new lamp glowed brightly in the dark.
06:50James arrived at the docks just in time.
07:01Goodbye!
07:03Then, James pumped his pistons.
07:07He set off once more for the town hall.
07:11James chuffed happily along.
07:15Now, he could go to Brendam.
07:17James chuffed happily along.
07:20Now, he could see everything in the dark.
07:23James liked having a lamp.
07:26I can see how beautiful Sodor looks at night.
07:40James puffed into the town square.
07:43Alicia Botti was singing sweetly.
07:48Then, James gasped.
07:50There was another surprise.
07:53Thomas and Edward were using their strong lamps to light the concert.
08:00Please, sir, may I shine my lamp on Miss Botti?
08:04Then, everyone will see her for miles around.
08:07Very well, James.
08:14Now, James didn't feel silly at all.
08:19He felt very, very important.
08:33And when Alicia Botti smiled at him,
08:37James couldn't have felt more proud of his bright beaming lamp.
08:43The End
