The Fat Clergyman (T&F)

The Fat Clergyman is a railway enthusiast and a close friend of The Thin Clergyman, the author of The Railway Series. He is a fictionalised version of Teddy Boston.

Biography
The Fat Clergyman and his friend, the Thin Clergyman, reprised their roles from the Railway Series as they went to the Island of Sodor to take photographs of the engines as they went about doing their work. When they went to the Arlesdale Railway, they met Bert, who offered them a ride in his tender. Although Bert liked the visitors, he became uncomfortable when they continued squinting into their cameras without saying hello and finally became cross with them when they unintentionally ran through a puddle and splashed him in muddy water. Bert managed to get back at the Fat Clergyman, though he got in trouble for it. Afterwards, the clergymen came to the shed to apologise to Bert and they cleaned him down and told him that he would be featured in an upcoming book.

He was also one of the important passengers who was to attend a New Year's Eve party at Callan Castle, but due to an earlier argument and mix-up with Gordon and Spencer, he was brought to Wellsworth by Gordon instead. He was the only one not getting tumbled on the ride since he was napping. He was later seen watching the fireworks display at Knapford.

Personality
The Fat Clergyman is a happy and optimistic man who is good friends with his thin counterpart and enjoys capturing the railways of Sodor on film.

Attire
The Fat Clergyman wears glasses with a white sweater, a black shirt, a black suit and grey shoes.
