[00:00:06]To all those people watching, I like to point out that this video is not made for kids. It's for older fans and adults, too.

[00:00:14]With that said, enjoy the [ __ ] video.

[00:00:37]The Island of Sodor is surrounded by beautiful blue seas. It has fields of green and sandy yellow beaches. There are rivers, streams, and lots of trees where the birds sing.

[00:00:50]There are windmills, quarries, coal mines, and visitors to the island arrive to see the engines.

[00:01:06]The island is also connected to the railway [music] called the Northwestern Railway, and it has lots and lots of railway lines. And it's been a very popular railway ever since its early days.

[00:01:32]One day, Murdoch was pulling a very long goods train coming back from the mainland.

[00:01:38]Faster, faster, [laughter] hurry up, Murdoch.

[00:01:42]We haven't got all day.

[00:01:45]He had been away on loan on the other railway for some time and was looking forward to coming home to his own shed for a rest and some peace and quiet.

[00:01:59]Then, there was trouble. One of his fuel trucks was leaking.

[00:02:09]And suddenly, it caught fire. Murdoch's driver tried to apply the brakes, but they wouldn't work. Oh, no.

[00:02:18]>> [groaning] >> Oh, no.

[00:02:20]>> [screaming] >> Help! HELP! I'M ON FIRE!

[00:02:25]AH, WHAT A SPLENDID DAY. I'll be glad to get back to my branch line.

[00:02:30]I wonder how Percy and Toby are doing while I'm away. Help! HELP! I'M ON FIRE!

[00:02:39]FIRSTLY, FIREBOX says Murdoch looks like he's in trouble. I must help him.

[00:02:46]Murdoch, use your brakes. Use your brakes!

[00:02:51]I can't! My brakes have failed and my train is too long to stop!

[00:02:58]I'll try and couple up behind you, Murdoch. I'm going to try and slow you down.

[00:03:03]>> [screaming] >> HURRY, THOMAS!

[00:03:11]COUPLE me up. I need to slow Murdoch down. Uh, right.

[00:03:15]The guard coupled Thomas to the back of the train. With all his strength, Thomas pulled back as hard as he could, but Murdoch wouldn't slow down.

[00:03:26]There was worse to come. Up ahead, one of Gordon's express coaches had derailed at Maron Station on the same track, thanks to some faulty points. The passengers got out, but it's too late to clear the line.

[00:03:41]Okay, I've got this.

[00:03:43]>> [screaming] >> Oh.

[00:03:46]Almost too late.

[00:03:48]Luckily, the signalman diverted the engines to a siding in the goods yard.

[00:03:52]Everyone watched in fear as the engines with their phones and video cameras.

[00:04:01]>> [screaming] >> Luckily, no one was hurt. Or at least not physically.

[00:04:14]Are you all right, K Murdoch? Uh, [sighs] I think so.

[00:04:18]Thank you, Thomas. But all I did was try to slow you down. I didn't do that much.

[00:04:24]Yes, you have. Your bravery slowed me down enough to stop me from suffering more damage than I would have done it.

[00:04:31]So, I'm very grateful that you're here, Thomas.

[00:04:35]Thank you.

[00:04:40]>> [cheering] >> But what the engines didn't know was that the footage filmed from the phones and cameras had been posted onto the internet. And Thomas's heroic actions had gone viral. It even caught the attention of a film director.

[00:05:00]Wow, I can't believe what I'm seeing.

[00:05:04]That tank engine is amazing.

[00:05:06]He's not just really useful, he's fantastic.

[00:05:11]I think that engine is perfect for the lead role in my next movie.

[00:05:18]Give me plane tickets to the Island of Sodor. We're going to go and film Thomas the Tank Engine.

[00:05:45]>> [music] >> Steam Team at the movies.

[00:06:11]The morning after Murdoch's runaway, the director and a few of his film crew arrived at Knapford station. The Fat Controller was there to greet him.

[00:06:22]Welcome to Knapford station. A good filming location, don't you think, Mr. Director?

[00:06:28]This ain't bad, Thomas. In fact, it's perfect. I can see it now.

[00:06:33]Thomas can rush into Knapford and rescue an engine trapped in a huge inferno.

[00:06:38]It can be our grand finale.

[00:06:42]Grand finale? I wonder what they mean by that.

[00:06:49]Morning, everyone. You'll never guess what I saw at Knapford just now.

[00:06:54]What is it, Percy?

[00:06:56]I was coming into Knapford station and I saw the Fat Controller with the film crew.

[00:07:01]A film crew?

[00:07:04]I wonder what film they'll be filming.

[00:07:06]I bet they want to make a film about us.

[00:07:09]If they do, I think it's obvious that I'm the best engine to star in the film.

[00:07:16]No [snorts] way. I think it should be about me. I should be the film star. I am the brightest and the shiniest.

[00:07:24]Nonsense. I'm the most important, after all.

[00:07:29]Maybe they want to make a news bulletin about Thomas's bravery yesterday.

[00:07:33]Yeah, that would be great. You were a real hero yesterday, [music] Thomas.

[00:07:38]You're on today's paper, too.

[00:07:40]I'm not sure it makes me a hero.

[00:07:43]I was just doing what I had to do for a friend.

[00:07:46]Don't worry, Thomas. Even if it is, it'll blow over in a few months.

[00:07:50]I hope so, Nia.

[00:07:53]Well, I know it will.

[00:07:55]These internet things are a flash in the pan. Good morning, everyone. I've got a few things to tell you all. I've just had a meeting with a film director and his crew. A film crew?

[00:08:07]I knew it. We're going to make a film about me. Rubbish. It should be about me.

[00:08:14]Hold on, you two. I'm sorry to say, but it's not either of you. They want Thomas to star in the lead role of his next movie playing himself. What?

[00:08:24]Me? In the lead role?

[00:08:27]I know. He saw your heroic actions to stop Murdoch from those video clips on YouBook, or was it FaceTube?

[00:08:35]It's YouTube and Facebook, sir.

[00:08:38]That's so cool, Thomas. A lead role.

[00:08:42]Yeah, that's great, buddy.

[00:08:44]But Thomas was a bit doubtful.

[00:08:48]Years ago, back in 1999, he, Percy, and Toby were chosen for a railway film with the children after a day out shone the big engines when the producer was choosing his star engines.

[00:09:03]But ever since his recent mistake on a Bollywood film set while he was in India during his anniversary world tour, he felt very unsure about being a film star, even though he made it in the film himself. But, sir, can't Edward and Henry do it? They ought to be four or even an experienced engine to take the role.

[00:09:29]Nonsense. They want you especially.

[00:09:31]It'll be a mass of publicity for the Northwestern Railway. Besides, both Edward and Henry are busy with their own work. After what I've been through with James and the Fat Controller's play last year, no, thank you.

[00:09:45]But, sir, I'm a branch line engine.

[00:09:49]You're Thomas, you're not. You're Thomas the movie star now. Percy, Toby, and Nia will take turns looking after your branch line passenger trains, and you can come back when the film production's finished, and not before.

[00:10:03]Uh yes, sir.

[00:10:06]Uh when will production start, sir?

[00:10:09]The director said he and his whole crew will be arriving next week, and we'll be starting then.

[00:10:15]He had to have find people for various roles for the film, so it'll take some time before they arrive. And when they do Ahem. Yes, James?

[00:10:23]>> I don't suppose we engines can all audition, too?

[00:10:27]That's already been sorted, I'm afraid.

[00:10:29]A visitor from the mainland is coming to star as Thomas's co-star. But, you will all be featured in the background scene.

[00:10:36]However, one of you will star as an engine in distress in the movie. So, if I plan an audition, I'll let you know.

[00:10:44]>> [laughter] >> I'm so going to be in this blockbuster.

[00:10:48]Ha! Not if I got the role.

[00:10:52]I will see about that, galloping sausage.

[00:10:57]This is going to be a long week.

[00:11:00]I know what you mean, Henry.

[00:11:13]Hey there, champ.

[00:11:14]Hello guys. What are you all doing here?

[00:11:17]We heard that the film crew are coming to Sodor to film their movie. That's right. We wanted a chance to see them arriving, so we thought we'd come along early to get a good spot. Plus, I hear you're going to be in it, and in a lead role too. Wow, Thomas. You're going to be a film star.

[00:11:37]You must be really excited, Thomas.

[00:11:39]Well, not really, Joseph. I just want to get this over with and get back to my branch line. I've been going everywhere lately, and and I long to be back at home on my branch line. Bust my buffers.

[00:11:51]Hollywood is coming.

[00:11:58]Wow, Hollywood is here.

[00:12:01]Everyone, this is the film director for his next film.

[00:12:06]Hello, Sodor.

[00:12:10]>> [bell] >> Hi, I'm Michael McBay, and we here at Airship Productions are truly honored to be filming our movie on the Island of Sodor. Rest assured, we will represent your island and railway as lovingly and respectfully as we can.

[00:12:30]More likely taking over the station.

[00:12:33]Yeah, I know. Now, let's see the stars of our movie. This here is Zack. He's going to be the co-star of our movie.

[00:12:44]And now someone who needs no introduction, your number one, our star of the movie, Thomas the Tank Engine.

[00:12:55]Yay, Thomas.

[00:12:56]We love you, Thomas.

[00:12:59]Ah, hello, Thomas. Nice to meet you.

[00:13:03]Um, you too, Zack.

[00:13:06]Relax, will you? You're a big Hollywood star now. Just imagine it. You'll be steaming on the red carpet at a movie premiere. Your name on the walk I know you're all very excited about the filming, but we still have a railway to run. We don't want any confusion or delay. What I don't understand is why you, Thomas, got the lead role and not me. I've got the talent and good looks, and I've starred in a few shows myself.

[00:13:36]Not the Fat Controller's player again, James.

[00:13:40]And in my case, you got bossy when we had to make your films. Remember? I know, but it's awkward, but that still doesn't answer my question. Why Thomas?

[00:13:51]He didn't even do any acting. Because Michael here has specifically requested him, James, and we had to comply.

[00:14:00]Plus, I thought you were already a superstar, James.

[00:14:04]What are you talking about? And how do you know my name? My driver showed me those videos that you were in, including And you two, Henry and Rebecca.

[00:14:16]Huh? How did you know our names and our videos?

[00:14:20]Oh, that's from Railway Vision. Those videos made you guys famous.

[00:14:25]Oh, my.

[00:14:27]Well, [laughter] what an honor.

[00:14:29]Oh, oh my god, I'M SO EMBARRASSED.

[00:14:33]>> [laughter] >> MAYBE you should think twice before you embarrass yourself on camera, James. Or in this case, online.

[00:14:41]>> [laughter] >> With Thomas's heroic action attracted more passengers to our railway, and with a movie production on our island, I've decided our railways needed a website.

[00:14:51]So, I brought a photographer to take photos of the railways on Sodor, and he'll also be covering the making of the movie, too.

[00:15:00]Awesome. I may not be on the film, but at least we'll all be on the billboard.

[00:15:06]Yeah.

[00:15:07]I've never been on a billboard before.

[00:15:10]It'll be great to have a Great Western engine up there.

[00:15:14]The star engines had their photo taken, and then it was the other engines' turn behind the star engines, but the photographer was having trouble fitting all the other engines into the photograph. Uh move back a bit there, Henry.

[00:15:33]Uh and you forward, Percy.

[00:15:35]Yes, yes, that's perfect.

[00:15:39]This is going to be great.

[00:15:41]It'll be really great for Great Western engine to be on a billboard after missing out on one back in 2008.

[00:15:49]Diesel, can you move in?

[00:15:52]Diesel did move in.

[00:15:54]The camera flashed, but because he wasn't paying attention, Duck didn't know that Diesel had rolled right in front of him, and neither did Diesel.

[00:16:05]Right, that's the star photos done.

[00:16:08]Let's make a movie. Come on, Zach. See you on set, Thomas.

[00:16:18]Later that evening, Rebecca, the yellow tender engine, had just finished her express run and was taking on water before heading back home when she saw a crane she had never seen before.

[00:16:34]Hello there.

[00:16:37]Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to drop everything. Oh no, oh no, oh no. I'm going to be in so much trouble. I'll just pick them up right now. Woah, woah, woah, woah, hey, no need to worry.

[00:16:48]I just came to say hello. Oh.

[00:16:50]Oh, sorry.

[00:16:53]It's okay.

[00:16:54]I'm Rebecca.

[00:16:55]What's your name?

[00:16:57]I'm Carly.

[00:16:59]Nice to meet you, Carly. Are you new here?

[00:17:02]No, I'm part of a film crew. I help load, unload, and arrange props and set for various films back on our film series in the USA.

[00:17:11]That must have been fun.

[00:17:13]Thomas told me he used to do that, too, when he was in India doing his world tour years ago.

[00:17:19]Yes, it is, but sometimes I feel underappreciated with my work. What do you mean?

[00:17:26]Well, I just wish I could do more than just work things.

[00:17:30]I know how you feel.

[00:17:32]When I first came here, I feared everyone would know me as a Flying Scotsman because they used to compete in the Great Railway Show on the mainland years ago.

[00:17:41]And I felt I needed a dream of my own, too.

[00:17:44]But I learned over time that all my friends here like me because of who I am.

[00:17:49]I always see the best in everyone.

[00:17:52]Even Gordon.

[00:17:55]You should be proud of your work, no matter what they say.

[00:17:58]If anything, I think you're the best crane your film crew have got.

[00:18:04]Golly, thanks, Rebecca.

[00:18:06]Anytime.

[00:18:08]Anyway, I need to get back home. Got my express run to do tomorrow.

[00:18:13]Nice to meet you, Carly.

[00:18:15]You too. Good night, Rebecca.

[00:18:21]The next morning at Sodor River Bridge, everyone was getting ready for the first scene. Rosie and Nia have come to watch, too.

[00:18:30]So, what's happening today, Mr. McBain?

[00:18:33]Well, today we're going to be filming the bridge rescue. Dudley over there is going to come on the bridge on the other side where he'll be halted by the group ninjas. Halted by what, exactly?

[00:18:45]Ninjas.

[00:18:47]Well, you see, they're thieves disguised as ninjas. They are to slow Dudley to a stop, steal his goods, and cause a fire on the train.

[00:18:56]That sounds dangerous. Not when you have the magic of the movies. Nothing you see here is real. Plus, we've got Carly and the special effects crew.

[00:19:07]Hello, Carly.

[00:19:09]Is this the first scene? Yes, indeed, Rebecca. And who's your friend? Oh, this is James. He wanted to see Dudley in action.

[00:19:18]Yes, but mainly I just wanted to make sure Dudley gets his lines right and portrays his character as accurately as possible.

[00:19:26]Uh could I get a sound level, please, Dudley?

[00:19:31]Well, it sounds good to me.

[00:19:33]>> [laughter] >> Oh.

[00:19:35]>> [groaning and snorts] >> Hey, Keri. You did set those effects good and big, didn't you?

[00:19:40]I mean, really big. Yes, Zach. Though we need this to be safe for the actors.

[00:19:47]We're on a bridge, for crying out loud.

[00:19:49]Whatever. In Hollywood, things are supposed to be epic. So, everything needs to be big. So, keep it like that.

[00:19:57]Or I'll tell Michael you deliberately ruined the set and get you scrapped.

[00:20:05]I've got a bad feeling about that guy.

[00:20:07]Okay, people. This is what's going to happen. Zach, you stay put at the entrance at this end with your water tanks. Uh water tank fountain. I thought my character might have a water tank fountain. It shoots water out through its filler cap.

[00:20:26]Yeah, yeah, whatever, Zach. So, Thomas, you're going onto the bridge and rescue Dudley. And remember, the vans are wired to burn, so you'll have to pull him clear and carefully. Right. Okay, everyone. We're ready for our take.

[00:20:41]Dudley, get ready to do your part.

[00:20:44]The camera hates you, Dudley. James, be quiet.

[00:20:49]Ready?

[00:20:51]And action. Ah, what a lovely day.

[00:20:56]I sure hope I don't meet into any terrorists.

[00:21:01]Oh, I've never called anyone a terrorist. He messed up the scene already in my books.

[00:21:08]OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR? Michael will kick you out of here if you don't stop disrupting the scene. Okay, okay, I'll be quiet.

[00:21:20]My train is on fire.

[00:21:24]Zack, you stay here and fight the fire.

[00:21:27]I'll rescue Dudley before the fire reaches him. Okay, Tommy boy. [music] I'm ready.

[00:21:34]I got you. Stay calm.

[00:21:43]An exploding van. I wasn't expecting that. Was that supposed to happen, Carrie? No, it wasn't. Keep it rolling.

[00:21:53]Oh dear, that explosion worked perfectly. The bridge is going to go, and I'm not sure that so-called number one is going to finish the rest of this movie as [music] he'll be going to the scrapyard.

[00:22:06]Help me, Thomas.

[00:22:08]I'm trying. I'm trying.

[00:22:11]I'm trying.

[00:22:19]And cut.

[00:22:22]That was the most heroic rescue I've ever seen, Tommy boy. You are going to be a big star at this rate. I don't understand. Surely the explosion wasn't supposed to happen. Don't worry, you'll get over it. Besides, we've got some great footage. But me and Dudley could have fall Okay, everyone. Let's set up for the next shot. Ugh.

[00:22:44]Are you okay, Thomas? I think so. Just a bit shaken up, but I don't know how the explosion happened. Sorry about that, Thomas. I set the scene up, but I didn't know how it happened either.

[00:22:57]I'm guessing it's because of Zack. Hey, great work there, Thomas, And you too, Carrie. Nice to work on those vans, too.

[00:23:06]That's the way you do the effects in Hollywood. Epic.

[00:23:11]Zack just wanted things to be epic.

[00:23:13]While I'm trying to make sure the set is safe, too. Even if it's not epic.

[00:23:18]I tried to talk to Michael about it, but he wouldn't listen.

[00:23:22]He seems to let the success go to his head. I have a feeling. Say, Thomas, when we finish filming today, I need you to go to the agency yards for the night.

[00:23:31]Me and Finn are planning to add some modifications on you for the rest of the film. It's where you've been rewarded for rescuing Dudley from the bridge.

[00:23:39]What kind of modifications?

[00:23:41]Well, you'll just have to wait and see, my friend.

[00:23:47]Later that day, Duck puffed into the yard to collect the film billboard and delivered it to be put up at Knapford.

[00:23:57]He was very excited. Huh? Duck was disappointed. He couldn't find himself in the picture, and soon he found out why. Of course, Diesel had rolled right in front of me.

[00:24:10]Now, no one can see me at all. What a Great Western disappointment.

[00:24:16]Oh, wow. Look at me. Do I look splendid on camera?

[00:24:22]I'll probably be the next movie star if this keeps up.

[00:24:32]Duck puffed off towards Knapford.

[00:24:37]I can't believe it. My one chance to be on the billboard, and Diesel ruined it.

[00:24:43]I bet he did that on purpose. I should have known. I bet he hadn't changed after all. He'll get what's coming for messing with this very engine twice with pride of the Great Western Railway. Duck was now very cross. So cross in fact that he didn't watch where he was going.

[00:25:01]Then there was trouble.

[00:25:03]There were sheep on the line.

[00:25:10]Oh no, sheep on the line.

[00:25:23]Bust my buffers. What have I done?

[00:25:29]Meanwhile, the Fat Controller and the photographer were at the Steamworks taking photos of the area and Murdoch who was waiting to be repaired.

[00:25:39]This is going to be a long few days stuck in this noisy place.

[00:25:46]The sooner I'm repaired, the sooner I'll get my peace and quiet.

[00:25:51]Hiro, dear. How long do you expect him to be out of action?

[00:25:56]Oh, hello Duck.

[00:25:58]Er, sir. Are there any cranes free at the moment? Not at the moment.

[00:26:04]Why would you need one, Duck?

[00:26:07]Well, you see, I had a bit of an accident and then the billboard smashed up. Oh, no.

[00:26:16]Oh, bother.

[00:26:18]My photo editing crew only just phoned me that they accidentally deleted the original photo. They can't print another one.

[00:26:25]Oh, no.

[00:26:27]I am so sorry, sir. Don't worry. I'll be taking more photos of the engines in my time here. We can always take a new photo of the stars once the filming is over.

[00:26:37]Oh, I see.

[00:26:40]Anyway, Mr. McBare is planning a grand review on Thomas' movie look.

[00:26:44]Tell the other engines to meet us at the agency tomorrow morning.

[00:26:47]Yes, sir. And I can show you around the island for the other photos of the engines and sights of Sodor for the website, too, if you want.

[00:26:55]That'll be grand. Cheers, Duck. I'll see you tomorrow.

[00:26:59]I think the best thing for you to do, Duck, is to head back to your branch line. I'll get Harvey to clear up the mess for you.

[00:27:08]Duck was about to leave the Steamworks and head back to his branch line.

[00:27:13]As he approached the points, he saw Diesel.

[00:27:18]Duck knew he should [music] tell Diesel about the website photos and Thomas's grand reveal, but Duck was worried. I suppose I should tell Diesel about tomorrow's reveal.

[00:27:31]No, but what if he gets in the way of this one, too?

[00:27:35]He might ruin the photos for the website, as well.

[00:27:39]I must keep him from finding out everything.

[00:27:45]So, Duck didn't tell Diesel.

[00:27:51]The next day, all the engines, except Diesel, arrived at the agency yards to see Thomas in his new film kit.

[00:28:01]Phew. Well, at least Diesel won't get in the way of this shot.

[00:28:05]Uh Mr. McQueen, are these modifications really necessary? It'll be fine, Thomas.

[00:28:11]Don't worry about you. You're the movie star now. Are we rolling?

[00:28:15]Good.

[00:28:17]>> [clears throat and cough] >> Ladies and gentlemen, engines and Sir Topham Hatt, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you all the new and improved Thomas the Tank Engine.

[00:28:35]What was that? Bust my buffers, you look like a real superhero now, Thomas. I know. I look more like something from a theme park ride. I can only imagine what Bradford would say if he saw me looking like this.

[00:28:52]Out of curiosity, Joseph, when you worked in TV, did you have to dress up a bit like that? Not really, Rosie. The producer said I was fine the way I was.

[00:29:02]Though I really don't know why people would go overboard and dress an engine up to make them look more or like a race car on rails.

[00:29:10]Uh no offense, Winston.

[00:29:12]Probably not the best to say that out loud.

[00:29:16]I think some of these ideas Mr. McBay has are already a bit over the top.

[00:29:22]Hey, come on. What every great action movie needs is that star to have the latest in technology. So, don't worry about that, Thomas. Everything will be fine.

[00:29:32]Right, everyone. We have a busy day ahead of us, so let's get to work. Well, here it goes.

[00:29:38]Thomas was unsure, but at the same time, he didn't want to let anyone down.

[00:29:48]Over the next few days, Thomas and Zach have been hard at work on filming for the new movie.

[00:29:55]Even though Zach tried to get the spotlight on duo scenes, Percy, Toby, and Nia all took turns on running Thomas's passenger trains.

[00:30:08]Cut.

[00:30:09]Great work, everyone.

[00:30:11]Let's break for lunch.

[00:30:12]Oh, I'll be in my shed.

[00:30:19]Ho ho ho [laughter] ho ho.

[00:30:21]Wow.

[00:30:22]He is just incredible. Look at him.

[00:30:25]He's got action written all over him.

[00:30:27]He's now becoming a real movie star.

[00:30:30]>> [laughter] >> We're going to be number one in the box office with this baby.

[00:30:35]Oh, yes, Mr. McBay.

[00:30:38]That hill soon be in a mess.

[00:30:41]>> [laughter] >> Zack had wanted to get the lead role in the film.

[00:30:47]Zack was now more determined to get Thomas out of the spotlight.

[00:30:56]That night, Thomas steamed into Tidmouth Sheds. He was hoping for a quiet night and some catching up with his friends, but Zack had other ideas.

[00:31:08]Hi, Thomas. We've got a big scene tomorrow. Let's go through our lines.

[00:31:12]Uh, okay.

[00:31:15]Oh my goodness, you seem to have quite a lot to say in this scene, Thomas.

[00:31:20]Sinders and Ashes, how am I going to remember it all? I know. It must be tough to remember all that, especially when you're not really an actor, Thomas.

[00:31:31]But, I'll help you as much as I can.

[00:31:33]Really, I will. Okay, Zack. Thanks. No problem. All you need to do is a look. A look? Yeah, just like that.

[00:31:43]>> [laughter] >> I'm going to give him a look in a minute if he carries on.

[00:31:50]I heard that.

[00:31:51]I wish you would give me a look and see that I'm trying to get some sleep.

[00:32:00]Oh, sorry, Big Blue.

[00:32:02]>> [laughter] >> Big Blue. Oh, the indignity.

[00:32:08]Then, Peter arrived. He had a message from The Fat Controller.

[00:32:14]The Fat Controller needs an engine to take the Hills to the Clay Pits for a night expedition.

[00:32:20]Oh, I could do it, Peter.

[00:32:22]Sorry, Thomas. He said you're not allowed to work while you're on loan to Mr. McBain. I was thinking Emily, would you like to do it?

[00:32:31]Oh, yes, please, Peter.

[00:32:34]Nia, you go, too. But, there's a shortage of trucks at nearby, and we need more. No problem. Come on, Nia.

[00:32:41]Let's go.

[00:32:43]See you later, Thomas.

[00:32:49]Well, at least I got you to talk to, Percy.

[00:32:52]Oh, Percy, you're not even listening.

[00:32:55]Oh, I am, Thomas. But, I have to take the mail train now. The mail must get through, you know. Good luck for tomorrow, though.

[00:33:05]Oh, it's not fair. No quiet time, and now I can't see my friends.

[00:33:11]Oh, don't look so glum, Thomas. Listen, you don't want to risk you overdoing yourself. I mean, who would finish the film if you break down? I'm starting to wonder if it's a good idea for me to [music] be a film star, after all.

[00:33:25]I don't even look like myself anymore.

[00:33:28]Why can't it be that director from 1999?

[00:33:32]Shh.

[00:33:33]No, you shush.

[00:33:38]The next morning on the hill towards Great Waterton, the crew were setting up the next scene after the morning trains had gone.

[00:33:46]Okay, people and engines. This scene we're filming today is something I'd like to call the runaway express.

[00:33:53]>> [music] >> Our movie star, Tommy here, will be chasing these special coaches down the hill full of screaming passengers. It's not really full of passengers, is it?

[00:34:03]Well, no. If something went wrong, I'd have a massive lawsuit on my hands, and I don't have the money to afford that many lawyers.

[00:34:13]Huh.

[00:34:14]Anyway, these coaches will be full of dummies. They'll be waving about inside the coaches, and like I said, you, Tommy, will be rescuing the coaches full of screaming passengers.

[00:34:25]You've got it, my number one movie star.

[00:34:28]I hope you'll be careful with those coaches. They've only just come out of the Steamworks after James set them to fire years ago.

[00:34:38]I thought we agreed not to talk about that anymore, Gordon.

[00:34:41]Don't worry, Gordon. Your coaches will be fine.

[00:34:45]I'm I'm surprised he wasn't like this when we blew up his coaches to make our track ass crazy years ago.

[00:34:52]Hi, I'm Gordon the Big Engine and I'm unwillingly going to go down the hill.

[00:34:57]Start on my hill without touching my special coaches with a drum kit and a bomb inside because if I do, they'll blow up.

[00:35:09]On the drums, Gordon the Big Engine's coaches Very [laughter] much on the drums and bomb.

[00:35:16]I'm very fond of my special coaches.

[00:35:18]>> backwards down the hill.

[00:35:20]>> [laughter] >> Shut up.

[00:35:22]Man, he's taking it seriously. Come on, get on with it, Gordon.

[00:35:29]All right, I will. Oh, here we go. This is THE MOMENT.

[00:35:33]OH.

[00:35:35]>> [laughter] >> THE ONE thing that big engines can do is a hill start.

[00:35:42]Now, I'm not petty, but now Woah.

[00:35:51]Woah. Woah.

[00:35:52]James, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

[00:35:56]OH, MATE. OH, so close. I bet you must have felt that explosion. They never moved an inch. You blew my coaches up.

[00:36:05]YOU BLEW MY COACHES UP. NO. NO. NO. NO.

[00:36:07]NO.

[00:36:08]SERIOUSLY, it they really blew up like that.

[00:36:14]Meanwhile, Duck was on his way to bring the photographer to the filming location on the hill.

[00:36:21]Then, he saw Diesel.

[00:36:23]Diesel was heading towards Great Waterton, too.

[00:36:28]Duck was worried now that Diesel will find out about the filming photos. Oh, no. I must get to the filming site before Diesel finds out about it.

[00:36:41]Well, it's a good job we tank engines are able to take shortcuts.

[00:36:50]Okay, let's go for the take.

[00:36:53]And action.

[00:36:55]That's my cue.

[00:36:59]Hold on. I'm coming to the rescue.

[00:37:11]Uh, are they supposed to go that fast?

[00:37:15]Those coaches are coming in fast, aren't they? Ha. There's no way the number one movie star [music] will come out of the woods.

[00:37:26]What?

[00:37:27]That can't be the right way.

[00:37:31]What the What happened there? Where did they go?

[00:37:41]I've got to stop the coaches and pull them up.

[00:37:50]He might be in trouble. Let's go and help him. Go, go, go, go.

[00:38:08]Phew.

[00:38:09]I think that got him away from the camera.

[00:38:13]Come on. Come on.

[00:38:16]Wow.

[00:38:26]>> Ha!

[00:38:27]There's no way the number one movie star will come out of the woods. Oh my!

[00:38:44]Oh, that is suck. What?

[00:38:50]How on earth did you make your way back?

[00:38:52]He had become a real movie star out there. That's how he did it. You, Tommy boy, are going to be a real superstar.

[00:39:00]Thanks, but I felt like this whole shot was ruined. You lost me in the woods, and you only got a good shot from Harold. Harold going for woods wasn't part of the script. [music] Don't worry about it, Thomas.

[00:39:13]We got some great footage from Harold, and there are on board cameras inside the coaches, so you can see the dormice and the daring rescue, too. Well, that's all right, then.

[00:39:24]However, we might need the coaches again tomorrow for a special close-up shot for when [music] they race down the bottom of the hill.

[00:39:32]Tommy, uh before you go home, do you think you could uh take them to the yards nearby?

[00:39:39]The crew will set up the switch at the top of the hill first thing in the morning. Of course, Mr. Topham Hatt.

[00:39:45]Ah, thank you, Tommy boy. You know, I can now understand why your [music] controller made you the number one engine. You really are a really useful engine and a real superstar, too.

[00:39:58]Thanks, Mr. Topham Hatt. I'm flattered.

[00:40:02]Okay, Duck. I'm just going to interview the cameraman, and then we'll head down to Great Waterton to get a few more photos before we finish for the day.

[00:40:09]Okay, sir.

[00:40:10]As the photographer took some photos, Thomas felt exhausted after the big scene, but he was so proud he felt like his boiler would burst. Maybe I really I'm a superstar after all. If I keep this up, I'll make this number one in the box office.

[00:40:28]That made Zach crosser than ever.

[00:40:35]That evening at the shunting yard at Knapford, Carrie was tidying the props while Zach was angrily thinking up a plan to get Thomas out of the picture. I have had it with that so-called number one and his stupid popularity.

[00:40:51]I don't see why he's the star of the movie.

[00:40:54]I'm the one with the talent and good luck. I'm a big engine after all. So, what if my last movie didn't do so well?

[00:41:01]I was the star. Well, I wouldn't call you talented, Zach. You just think of yourself first at the time during our time together in this film company. Are you saying I'm stupid? No.

[00:41:13]Do I look stupid >> [music] >> to you?

[00:41:16]Again, no. I'm just saying that you're only thinking about yourself. Ha! You can say what you like, Carrie, but I am going to get that lead role from that blue puffball, and I think I know how to do it. Whoa!

[00:41:32]You wouldn't dare. Watch me.

[00:41:35]Now, where are those special coaches?

[00:41:38]Zach, there must be a better way. It's the only way, and an epic way. And if you tell anyone about this, I'll take you to the smelting pit with your name on it.

[00:41:50]I'm doing it, and that's that.

[00:41:54]That shut Carrie up after being threatened. But, luckily for her, Percy was nearby at the station with his mail train and saw the whole thing.

[00:42:04]Oh, no! Zach's going to try and get Thomas booted out. I need to TELL THOMAS AND STOP HIM. BUT, he knew he had his mail train to pull, so Percy decided to tell Thomas in the morning. But, when Percy got back from his run, his hopes were dashed.

[00:42:21]His mail run took a long time, and by the time Percy got back to the sheds, all the other engines had already left.

[00:42:30]Oh, no. I'm too late. I can only hope someone saw them on the set before I do.

[00:42:39]Meanwhile, Duck was at the station to pick up the photographer for today's website photos.

[00:42:46]Just as the photographer was climbing on board, Duck saw Diesel coming in shunting coaches. Flatter, dodge.

[00:42:54]Where did you leave the brake coach? Oh, no. It's Diesel. He'll easily find out about the website photos now. What am I going to do?

[00:43:03]I know.

[00:43:07]Woo.

[00:43:09]What a lot of steam on the platform, and there aren't many engines here.

[00:43:17]Phew.

[00:43:19]He's gone. Oh, no. Huh?

[00:43:22]What's wrong? Oh, that steam has made my camera wet.

[00:43:27]Oh, dear. I'm sorry, sir. I don't know what came over me. We'll have to wait till it dries out. We'll have to get a move on this afternoon because it'll take a while to dry out. Oh, no. This is going to be a long day.

[00:43:41]We'll never get perfect photos for the NWR website at this rate.

[00:43:46]I hope Thomas is having better luck with this filming day.

[00:43:57]Okay, everybody. Here's what's going to happen. It'll be the same scene again.

[00:44:01]Only this time, they'll be hurtling out of control towards the camera at the bottom of the hill. But, with the help from the winch from the top of the hill, the coaches will be able to stop before they reach the camera truck. Oh, please do be careful with them. Don't worry, Gordon. Your coaches will be fine.

[00:44:20]Okay, let's go for the take. This is going to be a great shot.

[00:44:28]And action.

[00:44:36]Oh, no, the winch.

[00:44:42]Look everyone, get clear.

[00:44:46]My camera.

[00:44:49]Thomas, there's something you need to know about the coaches. Not now, Percy.

[00:44:54]I've [music] got to stop them.

[00:44:55]Right, I'll help.

[00:45:00]>> [screaming] >> Send in the undashious.

[00:45:08]DUDLEY, NO. DUDLEY, are you all right? I we My coaches.

[00:45:18]Oh, no. And they've only just been repaired, too. Yeah, I mean oh, no. Oh, poor Dudley.

[00:45:28]WHAT?

[00:45:30]DON'T WORRY, I'LL GO BACK TO THE STATION and call for help. Okay, thanks, Percy.

[00:45:36]Oh my goodness, how on earth did this happen? I thought you were going to give them a gentle bump, Thomas. I I don't understand. I did. But, I don't understand how they went that fast.

[00:45:49]Looks like the number one engine isn't the number one in the thinking department.

[00:45:55]Thought he could give the coaches a big biff and lives wouldn't be in jeopardy.

[00:46:01]What? No, I didn't. I only gave him a gentle push. Tell it to the judge, second rate. Thomas, I can't believe you would do this to my film. That shot would have cost us millions of dollars.

[00:46:15]Not to mention, you also hit one of the camera trucks. We could have all been killed because of you. But, Mr. McBay, I'm sorry, but >> No buts. You're going to pay for this.

[00:46:27]I'm going to make sure you'll never be a part OF THIS RAILWAY EVER AGAIN.

[00:46:32]Thomas felt hurt by Michael's words. He hoped the Fat Controller wouldn't be too cross.

[00:46:38]Percy hoped to tell Thomas the real truth later that evening.

[00:46:43]But, when he arrived at Knapford, he saw the Fat Controller talking to Thomas. He was more concerned rather than cross.

[00:46:52]I'm sorry, Thomas, but Mr. McBay has informed me that because of today's mishap, you are no longer the star of his motion picture. Jack will take over as the main star engine. To be honest, sir, it is a relief. At least I've got my branch line to the formality.

[00:47:10]Uh-oh, about that. I'm afraid I'm a bearer of much more severe news.

[00:47:16]Mr. McBay was so furious with what happened, he wanted you to leave the railway. And I didn't want to end up losing you. You mean I'm not allowed to work until the investigation is completed? No, Thomas, you're still working, just not on the branch lines or the main line for the foreseeable future.

[00:47:35]But, sir, I'm sorry, Thomas. I don't want to risk you getting in more trouble with Mr. McBay's film crew. So, you're going to be working with Eric and Rebecca at Elsbridge Yard for a while until further notice. I know they'll be glad to see you, and they'll keep you company and keep you hidden from Michael.

[00:47:55]As you wish, sir.

[00:47:57]Thomas trundled sadly away. Percy felt very sorry for him.

[00:48:02]It's sad when your best friend's been accused of a crime he didn't commit.

[00:48:08]The big engines were talking about the accident. They were also feeling sorry for Thomas and at the same time very cross with Michael McBain.

[00:48:19]I can't believe Thomas isn't allowed to work beyond the yards anymore. It must have really affected him badly. I know, Nia.

[00:48:27]Poor Thomas. He didn't deserve that.

[00:48:31]It's all Michael's fault. He accused Thomas harshly for no reason and look where he is now. Don't forget, James.

[00:48:38]You went through the same phase too with your alien hunt. Remember? Oh, don't even go there. Sorry, but it's true. If only there's a way to clear Thomas's name.

[00:48:51]I'm sure he never meant to push the coaches that hard. As much as I'm still angry that my coaches are wrecked again, I can't help thinking that you're right, Emily. Well, I have a good idea. Oh, no.

[00:49:06]We are not going through all that again.

[00:49:09]No. No, no, no, no. Ugh, fine. I was only trying to help. After what happened today, I wonder who would want to watch the filming of a big finale tomorrow night at Knapford. I know I'm not. Me neither. Here, here.

[00:49:24]The engines were so busy talking they didn't notice Zach, who was taking on coal nearby, had heard everything, but it gave him an idea to improve the final scene for tomorrow.

[00:49:40]Zach, what are you doing? I thought I'd add some little improvements to the big finish for tomorrow. But, we can't use too much of these things. They're dangerous. Hey, the bigger the danger, the more epic the scene. That's what sells. You know, you've been acting very strange and arrogant ever since we came to Sodor, and it's clear to me that you've got something up that snowbox of yours.

[00:50:05]Look, I told you I'd get that little blue bug out of the picture. This is mere child's play.

[00:50:11]So, you did cause that accident. Just wait till Mr. Topham Hatt hears about this.

[00:50:17]To be honest, Carly, I really haven't enjoyed working But when push comes to shove, Zac, what are you doing? Let me go.

[00:50:29]Just tying up some loose ends. This is a perfect spot for a little crane like you. Feel free to blab to your heart's content. Give the rolling stock a laugh.

[00:50:38]You've certainly given me plenty of them.

[00:50:42]>> [laughter] >> You lunatic. You won't get away with this. Come back here. But he didn't know that Percy had once again heard the whole commotion.

[00:50:56]Oh bother, he's refusing to fess up. How am I going to clear Thomas's name if he won't own up and keep Carly from revealing the truth?

[00:51:06]Rebecca, Rebecca. Oh, hi Percy.

[00:51:11]Are you okay?

[00:51:13]You seemed worried.

[00:51:15]Are you still thinking about Thomas?

[00:51:17]Yes, but I know what's been going on on set. Zac's been sabotaging Thomas's scenes to try and get him booted out of the film, and now he's trapped Carly in the middle of the yard to stop her from revealing the truth. Oh my, poor Carly.

[00:51:32]She was a good crane, too.

[00:51:34]I know. I need your help with something.

[00:51:37]Of course, Percy.

[00:51:38]What is it?

[00:51:40]Well, this is what we're going to do.

[00:51:47]The next day, Thomas was shunting at Elsbridge yard. He was happy to have Eric and Rebecca for company, but he was still sad about what happened and the fact that he won't be working on his branch line anymore.

[00:52:01]He even started worrying about his future.

[00:52:05]Thomas ruined the film.

[00:52:07]Thomas ruined the film.

[00:52:10]>> [laughter] >> No, I didn't. Shut up.

[00:52:18]Ow, just you wait. We'll show you one day.

[00:52:25]By lunchtime, Eric and Rebecca tried to cheer Thomas up. He was now feeling depressed.

[00:52:32]Maybe you should always stay here with us like the old days, Tommy, now that you're not on your branch line anymore.

[00:52:40]Well, I'm not going to be a film star with these any modifications, that's for sure.

[00:52:45]Uh, no, Eric. I like the idea, but my branch line is now the only thing I ever wanted to go on.

[00:52:54]Ever since I rescued James and I got to see more of Sodor, too.

[00:52:59]It's in my heart.

[00:53:02]Look on the bright side. At least the Fat Controller won't send you away.

[00:53:07]Eric. Oh, don't remind me. I hate to think what would happen if I did leave Sodor.

[00:53:14]Thomas, you need to try and snap it.

[00:53:17]It's only until the filming's finished and by then, the Fat Controller might probably put you back on your branch line again.

[00:53:24]There's always a light at the end of the tunnel and you'll come out of it much stronger than you did before. You'll see.

[00:53:31]I hope you're right, Rebecca.

[00:53:33]I really do.

[00:53:39]Later that evening, after the last trains of the day were done, Michael and his film crew were getting ready to film the big finale at Knapford Station.

[00:53:48]And the only engines that came to watch the filming were Bill and Ben, along with Stanley and and Duck, along with the photographer to take some behind-the-scenes photos of the set.

[00:54:01]Duck saw that Diesel wasn't there. He was very relieved.

[00:54:06]>> [sighs] >> Maybe now I can finally relax and enjoy the film me. What's that, Duck? Oh, nothing, Stanley. Nothing. Just thinking out loud. So, what's happening here, Mr. McBain? Yeah, I can't wait to see it.

[00:54:21]Well, here's what's going to happen.

[00:54:23]Zack here is going to charge through the station with his train of fuel tankers over the yard bridge towards the harbor and crash through the harbor station wall, where there will be a big explosion.

[00:54:33]Every great action movie needs a big explosion, and this one will be the biggest explosion ever. Wow, that sounds brilliant.

[00:54:43]Sounds action-packed. You two are talking my language.

[00:54:47]I suggested this little idea, and it's going to be in full swing.

[00:54:53]One might say I'll look epic.

[00:54:56]Indeed you will, Zack.

[00:54:58]By the way, has anyone here seen Carrie today?

[00:55:02]Oh, haven't you heard, Mikey? She's had a bit of trouble with her crane arm lately, but she'll be all right after some oil on the joints.

[00:55:12]Okay, Zack. Can you go to the engine wash and get cleaned up ready for the big finale? Sure thing, Mikey baby. Be back in a flash.

[00:55:20]Look for me soon, kids.

[00:55:24]He's going to the wash.

[00:55:26]Right. Me and Nia will help Carrie out to the trucks. And me, Toby, and Joseph will follow Zack with our recorders and listen to what he says.

[00:55:35]And we'll distract Zack while you record the evidence.

[00:55:38]Yeah, anything to help our boss.

[00:55:40]Then you all can pass it on to me and I'll take the recordings to the Fat Controller.

[00:55:46]Don't worry, Percy. We can do this.

[00:55:50]Yeah, come on, Dodge. Let's do it. Don't worry, boss. We're bringing you back home.

[00:55:58]It's a pleasure to meet you, Zach. You must be really excited to leave the motion picture.

[00:56:03]What can I say? All in a day's work. Can we have your autograph? Be my guest.

[00:56:09]Okay, Zach. So, what if you had to put some bomb in Duckling's truck? Change the points of the bridge.

[00:56:16]Put concrete blocks in the coaches to make them heavier and loosen the winch.

[00:56:21]Trashing little boy blues hopes and dreams in the process. You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs. Or make it a star of them without chewing a few stars.

[00:56:32]And spinning them out along the way.

[00:56:34]>> [laughter] >> Zach, are you ready for the big finale?

[00:56:39]I'm ready to roll, Mikey.

[00:56:41]And to rock, too.

[00:56:44]>> [laughter] >> Showtime.

[00:56:50]We've recorded the whole thing, Percy.

[00:56:53]And you were right. It was all Zach's fault. He's been sabotaging the sets and everything.

[00:56:59]I knew it. I'm going to find the Fat Controller and tell him.

[00:57:03]I'll come with you, Percy. We might need to let the rest of the team know, too.

[00:57:08]Okay, Toby. Let's go.

[00:57:11]Sir. Sir.

[00:57:13]Percy? Toby? Whatever's the matter?

[00:57:17]Sorry, sir, but I've got something important to tell you all. We found out who's been sabotaging Thomas's scenes.

[00:57:28]Thanks for your help, you two.

[00:57:30]Oh, it's our pleasure, Carrie. You've been a good friend to us since you came here.

[00:57:39]Okay, everyone. It's time for the big finale. The runaway fuel train scene 120, take one.

[00:57:46]And action.

[00:57:48]Showtime.

[00:57:52]I say, what's flying towards us?

[00:58:04]WOAH!

[00:58:05]BYE. OH, NO.

[00:58:11]OH, NO. [screaming] WAS THE HARBOR STATION meant to go alight?

[00:58:16]I don't think so.

[00:58:19]Sodor, we have a problem.

[00:58:24]Wow, what a noise.

[00:58:27]It sounds like something serious. It's coming from Knapford harbor. Something must have happened on set. You should go and help, Thomas. This might be your big chance to redeem yourself once again.

[00:58:41]>> [music] >> All tight, Bree. You're going to see some pretty hot speed now. Then there was trouble. Harvey was helping the workmen clear a landslide up ahead.

[00:58:56]Look out, Harvey.

[00:58:57]A workman switched the points just in time. Woah!

[00:59:10]Phew, that was a close one.

[00:59:14]Oh, no. I'm on the wrong track, bastard.

[00:59:19]>> [screaming] >> I wonder what the big hurry is.

[00:59:26]Phew.

[00:59:28]Okay.

[00:59:30]Now I really need to stop doing these stunts, man, or this is over.

[00:59:35]At Tidmouth Sheds, Percy had just finished telling the Fat Controller the whole story. Superstar, my funnel. I knew you've always had a problem with trains and about that engine. He did all that to try and get Thomas out of the spotlight. Please, sir, don't send Thomas away. He was innocent the whole time and Thank you, Percy. That will do.

[00:59:56]I'll talk to Thomas in the Sir, there's a fire in Knapford Harbor and Zack, Rosie, Joseph, and the other engines over there are trapped. Bill, Harold, and Flynn are on their way, but we need the whole team to help rescue everyone and put out the fire.

[01:00:11]Oh my. That sounds like it'll be the biggest fire Sodor has ever had.

[01:00:16]I think we're going to need the whole team on this one, sir. All engines, great and small. Quite right, Edward.

[01:00:24]You will all need to get work together as a team. This is a serious rescue mission. But, sir, I'm made of wood.

[01:00:32]What if I caught fire if I came along, too?

[01:00:35]Don't worry, Toby. I am aware of that.

[01:00:38]I'm not risking you getting burnt. So, you'll be getting the film crew to safety with Henrietta. But, that means we're short of one engine. Sir, why not get Thomas to help us? Would if I could, Percy. He's a long way out at Elsbridge.

[01:00:54]So, it might be difficult for him to Hey.

[01:00:59]Did somebody call for me?

[01:01:01]Yes, Thomas, and thank goodness you're here. We need all your help.

[01:01:05]Thomas, what happened to your modifications?

[01:01:09]Oh, that. Uh >> [laughter] >> a funny thing happened on the way over here.

[01:01:14]Actually, Thomas, I need to tell you something. Zack's the one who's been causing accidents to you on set. He wanted to get you booted out of the film so he could have THE LEAD ROLE HIMSELF.

[01:01:27]WHAT?

[01:01:29]It's true. Percy got Toby and the others to help him get the truth. We all went [music] undercover to do so.

[01:01:37]And they managed to record what Jack was saying and showed it to us. And to Sodor [music] Sodor. Thank you, Percy. You're the best.

[01:01:46]That's all right, buddy. [music] Anything for my best friend. I'll deal with Jack and Mr. McQueen later. Right now, we've got a harbor to save and it might take all night to do it. But, we can do it [music] if we all play our part and work together as a team.

[01:02:02]That's right. That fire may take away our sleep, but it will never take our Sodor.

[01:02:14]>> [music] >> Back at the harbor, the fire was getting worse. Toby arrived with Henrietta to get the film crew to safety.

[01:02:31]Hey, what are you all doing? Keep rolling. We'll get some great action shots.

[01:02:37]You're all doing a bad mate.

[01:02:40]>> [bell] >> Okay.

[01:02:44]Now we're all here now. Keep that place.

[01:02:46]You don't need to tell us twice, FLYNN.

[01:02:49]HELP! WE'RE GOING TO BE ON FIRE!

[01:03:15]Let me help, sir. It's the least I can do to help the team.

[01:03:19]Very well, Jock. You can help pull Alfred and the diesel shunt out of the wreckage. Yes, sir.

[01:03:25]Don't worry, Diesel. I'm coming.

[01:03:42]Oh, my head. Well, well, well. Look who tried to be a star in the show, eh?

[01:03:48]Look, I'm really sorry about all this.

[01:03:51]I know, Zach. But, let's get you out of here.

[01:03:55]Right.

[01:04:12]Soon, the fire was out, all thanks to the steam team. Zach was pulled out of the wreckage. He wasn't hurt, but he was all battered and only slightly burnt.

[01:04:26]Well, that's it. The fire is out.

[01:04:29]Well done, all of you. The fire was out and all the engines and the film crew were all rescued. Good night's work all around.

[01:04:38]That's because we're the best team in the world. Yes, and all because we all played our part, big or small. Hooray for the steam team.

[01:04:50]Well, James, it looks like your idea of blowing up Zach worked the way you told us. Gordon, what was that about blowing up Zach, James?

[01:05:01]No, sir.

[01:05:02]But, I was cross with Zach and Michael for what they did to Thomas, so I came up with a plan to get them back. But, I didn't think they would take the idea from me. Well, it looks like they did.

[01:05:13]Don't worry, James. Even though you thought of it first, I don't think that the explosion was entirely your fault.

[01:05:20]All right. All right.

[01:05:22]I may have placed some extra boxes of dynamite at the back of the wall when no one was looking. And I just And I just might have hidden Carrie to keep her from spilling the beans. You can say that again. You dimwit, Steamy! We could have been burnt to a crisp! Not to mention, you got Thomas in trouble for something he didn't do. That's called framing, and it's the most hurtful thing one can do to another. Indeed. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[01:05:53]JACK!

[01:05:55]WHY DID YOU DO ALL THAT? YOU could have ruined the whole production.

[01:05:59]Uh, to get top billing. But I realize now that Thomas is a true superstar. And you guys are all real heroes, not a crazy comedian like me.

[01:06:11]Comedian? Don't make me laugh. No, seriously, don't. And Thomas, again, I'm sorry about, you know, and you, too, Carrie.

[01:06:25]Well, you did put me through a lot of trouble during the filming days, but I forgive you.

[01:06:32]Not only did you cause confusion and delays, Jack, but you caused a lot of damage and nearly put my engines and workers in danger. This is a very serious matter. I know. I know.

[01:06:45]So, how do I patch things up?

[01:06:47]Well, for a start, you have to clear up the mess that your action-packed heroic scene had caused by yourself. Then, as punishment [music] for your other stunts, you'll be working at the waste dump for 2 weeks once the filming is finished. Sure thing, sir.

[01:07:05]And Thomas, I'm sorry I tried to run you out of soda.

[01:07:08]I got so caught up in my success. I was thinking about my work and not you. I should have listened to you.

[01:07:14]That's all right, Mr. McBain.

[01:07:16]Although, you have given me a great idea. Really?

[01:07:21]Another one? Hang on, Thomas. I'm sure this one might be a good one this time.

[01:07:27]Right, Mr. McBain? Oh, of course. I was looking through the footage we filmed as well for the whole rescue scene you pulled off after the night and they look spectacular. So, I've decided to keep all the rescue scenes in the film. Then everyone can see the real Thomas the Tank Engine and the real Steam Team. You are? Yes, we're going to be in the movie. You sure will, Red Guy. You just won't be paid as much as Thomas will.

[01:07:55]And what every great action movie needs is a big premiere. We'll be having it at the outdoor cinema at AB Station and you lot will be the guests of honor. Really?

[01:08:06]Wow, sounds epic. I can't wait to see it. And Thomas, I'm very proud of you.

[01:08:12]Once the filming's complete, you shall be given back to your branch line and a new coat of paint for all your hard work. Thank you, sir. All that because of filming?

[01:08:24]No one told me anything about it at all this week. What? But we told Dr. Won everyone stay clear. I'm so sorry, sir.

[01:08:33]I didn't want Diesel to know about the filming and photos for the NWR website.

[01:08:39]In the first photo, he moved right in front of me on purpose. WHAT?

[01:08:45]NO, I DID NOT. The photographer told me to move.

[01:08:49]Nice try, Diesel, but I'm not falling for it. Uh I did tell him, Doc. Maybe I forgot to call you to move a bit. He must have just been too far. Oh, dear.

[01:09:00]I've done a bad, bad thing.

[01:09:03]I'm sorry, Diesel. I was wrong to think you hadn't changed and that you'd gone my way on purpose.

[01:09:10]I just wanted the website photos to be perfect. And I'm very sorry for causing all this trouble, sir.

[01:09:17]Maybe if I do Diesel's jobs in the yard, he can show the photographer [music] around the final locations.

[01:09:24]I think that's a great idea, Duck. That I can agree on. Thank you, Duck.

[01:09:31]This is going to be awesome. I'm sure it will, Mr. McBay. And then the railway can go back to normal, especially since I can now see that Dudley and Murdoch have just now returned after being mended.

[01:09:45]Hello, everyone. What did we miss?

[01:09:49]Oh, bother. Were we too late to save the day, weren't we?

[01:09:54]Aw, poor little Dudley. All messed up with nowhere to go.

[01:09:59]>> [laughter] >> What?

[01:10:04]A few weeks later, all the engines were at the cinema at Abbey Station getting ready for the big film premiere.

[01:10:13]You know, that movie billboard looks the best I've ever seen.

[01:10:19]It sure does, Diesel. But maybe it could do with a bit more yellow for the explosion part.

[01:10:28]Okay.

[01:10:30]I'm letting perfection go.

[01:10:32]I think it's the best it's ever been.

[01:10:35]And I even like the angle of me on there.

[01:10:38]But the picture looks like it's edited, Duck. That's what makes it so perfect.

[01:10:48]>> [music] >> It's good to have you back, Thomas. It's good to be back, Annie. I missed you, too. We missed you too, Thomas.

[01:11:00]>> [music] >> I love this classy bow tie Percy bought me, Top Ham. I feel like a guest of honor down the red carpet. Admit me, I say, James. You do look very lovely tonight.

[01:11:12]Thank you, dear.

[01:11:14]Now, Top Ham, have you got everything?

[01:11:18]Yes, mother, I have. Ugh, I bet Dudley does have an annoying voice for the entire movie. I mean, who would want to listen to a voice like that? Oh, I don't know, James. But Yes?

[01:11:35]I heard Dudley got positive feedback from the fans. They even want him to be the new number five. What? No, they can't do that. I'm just planning to be replaced. What about Wait a minute.

[01:11:49]Joke's on you, JAMES.

[01:11:51]>> [laughter] >> I'VE JUST HAD ANOTHER GREAT IDEA. Slap my funnel, they just keep coming, don't they?

[01:11:59]What every great action movie needs is a sequel. Thomas the Tank Engine 2, Thomas Takes a Holiday. Um, maybe Zach could be the star of your next movie, Michael. I think the sidekick [music] is ready for a promotion.

[01:12:14]I love it. What every great action movie needs is a spin-off. Zach, I've got a great idea for the next movie. Well, Zach, looks like you're finally beginning your big moment in the movie after all.

[01:12:28]So, didn't fancy being a film star then, champ? Well, I'm guessing I'm looking forward to being a really useful engine on my branch line again, to be honest with you.

[01:12:38]But, I have to ask, if you were still on telly, which would you prefer, film work or railway work?

[01:12:47]I'd want to be able to do both.

[01:12:49]But, if I had to pick, then it's definitely railway work. Hey Edward, I've been asked to sing in Zach's next movie.

[01:12:58]Can you do a duet with me?

[01:13:01]>> [laughter] >> Of course, Philip. Just get your people to call my people.

[01:13:06]But I don't have any people.

[01:13:09]>> [laughter] >> No, Philip. That's not what I meant.

[01:13:13]Could everyone please make their way to their seats? The movie is just about to begin. Oh, the film's starting.

[01:13:20]I'll explain later.

[01:13:25]Wow, this is going to be so exciting.

[01:13:28]Ladies and gentlemen, engines and coaches, greetings and salutations to you all. If you'd like to take your seats, prepare yourselves for action and adventure as we welcome Thomas and Zach on the big screen for the first time ever.

[01:13:44]Roll them.

[01:13:50]Ah, what a lovely day.

[01:13:53]I sure hope I don't run into any terrorists.

[01:13:59]And my train is on fire.

[01:14:03]Zach, you stay here and fight the fire.

[01:14:06]I'll rescue Dudley before the fire reaches him. Okay, Tommy boy. I'm ready.

[01:14:13]I got you. Stay calm.

[01:14:20]This part is a bit scary.

[01:14:23]Don't worry, Percy. [music] It's all special effects. Yeah.

[01:14:27]Everyone can see it's not real.

[01:14:30]Being acting engines, we know that, don't we? Totally. And thank goodness it isn't real.

[01:14:36]>> [laughter] >> Gordon, can you budge over just a little bit? Oh, sorry, Henry.

[01:14:43]Uh, anyone got any popcorn? Shush.

[01:14:56]>> [music] [music] >> Wow.

[01:15:15]>> [laughter] >> Okay.

[01:15:19]Uh we could do with a bit more sustained on that clap, please.

[01:15:22]>> [laughter] [screaming] >> Good morning, everyone. I've got a few things to tell you all. I've just had a meeting with a film director and his crew.

[01:15:42]I don't remember eating that. Cut. Oh, I can't believe this. Sir, that's the fifth take. Oh dear, dignity.

[01:15:51]>> [laughter] >> Uh sorry, everyone. I had a Big Mac meal for lunch. Okay, I'm all right now.

[01:15:57]Sorry.

[01:16:00]Wow.

[01:16:04]>> [laughter] >> Can Can Can Can this be part of the movie [laughter] now because because the stairs wrecked?

[01:16:15]>> [laughter] [laughter] >> Hey, come on. This is meant to be SERIOUS SCENES HERE.

[01:16:27]TO INFINITY [music] AND BEYOND.

[01:16:31]>> [laughter] >> I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. Okay, can you blame me? Okay, I'll do it properly this time. Okay. Sorry.

[01:16:42]So, what's happening here, Mr. McBain?

[01:16:45]Hey, that's my line. What? No, it's not.

[01:16:48]You're wrecking the scene. Now we're never going to work IN HOLLYWOOD AGAIN.

[01:16:52]NO, I'M NOT. YOU ARE. SHUT UP. YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE.

[01:16:57]LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, engines and Sir Topham Hatt, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you all the new and improved Thomas the Tank Engine. Ta-da!

[01:17:09]Look who's here, boys. Cut. What? That was a good take. You're not in the scene, Daisy. [music] Ha!

[01:17:17]This whole new look, only to be taken out of camera.

[01:17:21]So rude. You suck. Oh, scratch you, you rude, heartless butt.

[01:17:28]Yes, but really, I just wanted to make sure Dudley gets his lines right and portrays his character as accurately as possible.

[01:17:36]What? What are you laughing about? Huh?

[01:17:39]>> [laughter] >> Very funny, Dudley.

[01:17:43]I knew there was something strange about that engine.

[01:17:46]What? [laughter] What's so funny?

[01:17:48]Dudley!

[01:17:52]Huh?

[01:17:54]>> [laughter] >> God dammit, Dudley!

[01:17:58]Ow! I got ash in my eye.

[01:18:02]No, seriously, I got hot ash, burning ash in my eye. OH GOD, HURTS SO MUCH.

[01:18:10]>> [laughter] >> STOP LAUGHING, GORDON. I'M SERIOUS. HEY, YOU. Stop the camera.

[01:18:17]What I don't understand is why you, Thomas, have been chosen and not me.

[01:18:22]Oh, boy. Towel. I need a towel over here.

[01:18:26]>> [laughter] >> Cut.

[01:18:31]Don't forget, James, you went through the same phase, too, with your >> [laughter] >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[01:18:39]Gordon's [laughter] got makeup ON HIS FACE.

[01:18:43]WHAT? DUCK FACE.

[01:18:45]>> [laughter] >> MAKEUP.

[01:18:50]ISN'T THIS EXCITING, MUK? Our first day of shooting since 2012. Oh, yes, Scoop.

[01:18:55]Very much so. It's so exciting. You know, I can't believe you got Mattel into making a feature-length special to us. Much better than our stupid, terrible 2015 reboot. Yeah. Well, there's a little thing I wanted to tell you, Scoop. What's that, Muk? Well, it is a new special, but it's not centered around us. Well, I I don't understand.

[01:19:17]What is it then? And action. Oh, no.

[01:19:21]Help.

[01:19:22]Help.

[01:19:22]HELP, I'M ON FIRE.

[01:19:26]OH, I SEE. YEAH. SORRY, SCOOP.

[01:19:33]BEN!

[01:19:34]OOPS. SORRY. That time I really did fart.

[01:19:39]Are you saying I'm stupid? No. Do I look stupid to you?

[01:19:45]>> [laughter] >> Are you saying I'm stupid?

[01:19:51]I'm sorry.

[01:19:52]It's okay. I'm fine. I'm ready for another day. Are you [music] saying I'm stupid? Yes.

[01:19:57]>> [laughter] >> This is the 15th take. I've had it with this scene.

[01:20:01]Let's give up on this and rewrite this scene all over again.

[01:20:05]I need a break.

[01:20:08]Not only did you cause confusion and delay, Jack, but you caused a lot of damage and nearly put my engines and workers in danger. This is a VERY SERIOUS MATTER.

[01:20:19]GOODNESS ME. YOU SHOT ME.

[01:20:22]>> [laughter] >> I AM SO SORRY. I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY call me the fat controller.

[01:20:31]Zack, you stay here and fight the fire.

[01:20:34]I'll rescue Dudley before the fire reaches his bum.

[01:20:38]>> [laughter] >> I'm sorry.

[01:20:41]I thought I GOT IT RIGHT.

[01:20:45]>> [laughter] [laughter] >> DON'T WORRY, ZACK. IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST of us.

[01:20:57]What?

[01:20:58]Great work, everyone.

[01:21:15]>> [music] >> Here I am, yeah. I'm Thomas the Tank Tank. I'm from our railway, on the Island of Sodor, your favorite tanky, [music and singing] with a special special beep beep. All aboard. Choo choo. Off [music] we go.

[01:21:30]You got your ticket. I got my coaches.

[01:21:33][singing] Some make on one class, others [music] go on express. I love my coaches. [singing] We all got singing. Come along. We [music] can't be late. One more stop to Tidmouth Shed. [singing] I feel I'm a really useful really [music] useful engine. I deliver special loads from coast to coast [music] down. I'm a tip top all star. Won't stop. Never drop until all the work's done. I feel I'm [music] a u s e f u l I'm a useful engine. [music] I feel I'm a really useful really useful [singing] I feel I'm a really useful Listen up. My name is Thomas. I'm the number one engine. I'm part of a special team. [music] We're really useful crew.

[01:22:20]We're called the Steam Team. No villain can compete. They're weak. We're strong.

[01:22:23]We're great. They're wrong. This [music] crew is bringing the heat.

[01:22:28]Guaranteed for sure. Pop, pop, peep, peep, off [music] we go. I feel I'm a really useful, really useful engine.

[01:22:35][music] I deliver special loads from coast to coast down. I'm a tip-top, all [music] stop, won't stop, never drop until all the [singing] work's done. I feel I'm a useful. I'm a useful engine.

[01:22:51]I'm a useful [music] engine.

[01:22:53]I feel I'm a really useful, really useful. I feel [music and singing] I'm a really useful engine.

[01:23:11]Well, [bell] I must say Duck and Diesel did a great job helping out on the NWR website. Look at all those photos.

[01:23:18]They're all on there. Hey look, Thomas.

[01:23:21]There is a review of your movie from a user called Diamond Path 97. Good film, but parts of it do go against railway realism and could result in many regulation violations. Huh, many people on the internet do complain about realism in films, don't they?

[01:23:39]You're not on there, Percy.

[01:23:42]How are things with Zack? It's been a week since he left the island.

[01:23:47]Man, this place is so foggy and this yard is such a mess.

[01:23:53]But, at least I'm finally here for my next filming work while I wait for that tunnel to be cleared again. But, more to the point, where the hell am I?

[01:24:03]Hey there, welcome to Misty Island.

[01:24:06]We'll make you very welcome here. THAT'S RIGHT.

[01:24:12]>> [screaming] >> WELL, LET'S SAY he got to his destination with no tunnel access for a while, I think it's going to be quite busy for some time.

[01:24:27]And in a couple of weeks, I think he'll go quite insane.

[01:24:31]So, he's in my film messing with me and for and for [music] nearly killing me on set.

[01:24:38]Who swam is me?

[01:24:41]And here's my closer. Are the film crew still around?

[01:24:45]Uh hate to break this to you, DC, but Michael Bay and his crew left a month ago. You missed that.
