Series 4 - Episode 6 - Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady


The opening of this fabulous episode presents a recap of the plot of the previous episode, A Bad Day For Sir Handel. After this short introduction, the plot of Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady starts. Peter Sam's hard-working nature is expanded upon in this episode. This makes him, in my opinion, a very likable character in the Thomas the Tank Engine universe.

An excellent aspect of many of the Series 4 narrow gauge episodes is the interaction between the big engines and the little engines. Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady presents an example of that in the form of Henry's trickery.

A word or two on sets. This episode makes great use of the Lakeside station set, which is used primarily for passing scenes in most other episodes from this series.


George Carlin's American narration for this episode features a wonderful Italian characterization for the Refreshment Lady.

Series 4 is easily my favorite series of the show and I am proud to give this episode a perfect rating.

Rating:

4/4
