At the same time that you put up your next episode idea, could you do the script for 'George's Troublesome Trick' please? Plus I made some changes to the script. The changes are that all the trucks are vans with rooves filled with potatoes, instead of individual vegetables. And there are now six instead of seven. And Dowager Hatt is mentioned briefly in the episode, when her son says, she say Thomas drive along the line with the trucks of potatoes. Everything else in the episode, will pretty much be the same. BTW, here are the lines I had in mind (as I was an assistant writer for this episode):


 * George: Hi Thomas.


 * Thomas: Oh no, not you again. What do you want?


 * George: I've got a message for you, from Farmer McColl.


 * Thomas: What did he say?


 * George: He's going to sea tomorrow, so he wants you to drive over to his farm and collect all his trucks of potatoes, and take them to the Transfer Yards.


 * Thomas: I'll go right away. But what do I do with the trucks when I get there?


 * George: Just leave them for Mr. Percival and his family to collect. And next week, Farmer McColl will pay your driver and fireman, £7 each.


 * Thomas: Thanks George. That should make my driver and fireman a fortune.

(later into the episode)


 * Narrator: Thomas arrived safely back at Tidmouth Sheds, looking forward to a rest. He was about to go into his berth, when the Fat Controller's car apeared. Out stepped the Fat Controller and Farmer McColl, both looking very cross.


 * Thomas: What's the matter, sir? You both look very cross.


 * Sir Topham Hatt: We are cross, Thomas. And we want to know what you've been up to today.


 * Thomas: I don't know, sir. Tell me.


 * Farmer McColl: Did you, or did you not, go to my farm today?


 * Thomas: Yes I did.


 * Sir Topham Hatt: And did you steal six vans of potatoes from Farmer McColl's platform?


 * Thomas: I didn't steal the trucks. I was asked to collect them.


 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well my mum saw you drive along the line with a load of trucks, while waiting for Bertie to pick her up, then she told him, and Bertie told me.


 * Farmer McColl: What have you done with my trucks, Thomas? Are they here?


 * Thomas: I've heard enough. You can't accue me of being a thief. George gave me the message to collect the trucks. He told me Farmer McColl wanted me to move the vans.


 * Sir Topham Hatt: I don't believe you, Thomas. The point I'm making is, you took the trucks of potatoes, and you're to blame.


 * Farmer McColl: Besides, I was going to sell those trucks at the market, and I saw you drive away with them. I had my back turned, when you were coupled up, and I quickly turned around and saw you, as soon as you started off.


 * Sir Topham Hatt: So, I'm afraird your driver and fireman must pay Farmer McColl a total of £30 each for the trucks, Thomas. Farmer McColl's got to go to sea tomorrow, and he wants the money. He can't sell his trucks of potatoes now, because they're gone. And if he isn't paid, your crew will have to go to jail for the night.


 * Narrator: So the driver and firemen, had to give up every penny out of their moneyboxes, to Farmer McColl. Then the farmer went away with the Fat Controller. Thomas felt vey bad.

The rest is up to you.
