Percy Gets it Right

"Worry wheels!" "Fussy funnel!"

- Gordon and James to Percy

Percy Gets it Right is the second episode of the seventh series.

Plot
One autumn, Percy is puffing along Toby's old line with a train of tomatoes to take to market when he suddenly crosses over a wobbly section of track. His driver inspects the line and sees that the earth under the track is crumbling, which Percy decides to tell the Fat Controller about.

Later, Percy steams into the yard and announces that the track on Toby's line is wobbly. Gordon grumbles and tells him that the track being wobbly are like Toby and claims it's not important news and leaves. This Percy is briefly annoyed, as he thinks that Gordon does not want to listen to him.

Next, Percy tries to tell the Fat Controller, but he does not listen to him either, as he is too busy talking to Thomas; he wants Thomas to go and collect the prize bull from the farm on Toby's line, which prompts Percy to warn the Fat Controller that the line is wobbly, but he dismisses this, thinking that it is fine. Percy is briefly annoyed again and begins to think that at this point, nobody cares to listen to him.

Thomas collects the bull and sets off on his way. It is raining and the tracks are more wobbly than ever. Up ahead, a landslide occurs right in front of Thomas. He tries to stop, but runs into the soft dirt and gets stuck.

Later that night, Percy is worried that Thomas has not returned to the sheds yet. Gordon and James take no notice, but Percy's driver believes him and they set off to find Thomas. When they do, he finds Thomas buried under the dirt. The two friends are very happy to see each other and Percy pulls Thomas out and helps him get back home.

When they arrive at the station during the daytime, the Fat Controller is waiting. Thomas announces that Percy saved him, and even the bull agrees. The Fat Controller apologizes to Percy and promises that everyone will do a better job of listening to him in the future, which Percy is very pleased to hear.

Trivia

 * Going by production order, this is the third episode of the seventh series.
 * Extended stock footage from Thomas and the Rumours is used, as well as an extended, deleted and edited scene from Thomas Gets Bumped, as this was made to look like that it is stormy instead of sunny.
 * Due to the use of stock footage, this episode, Thomas and the Rumours, and Thomas and the Firework Display all share the same opening shot.
 * The events of this episode are mentioned by Marion in Big World! Big Adventures! during the song, Where in the World is Thomas?
 * After crashing into the landslide, Thomas' face appears to be different. This was the unused third series panicked face edited with a closed mouth, however, the unedited scene was used in promotional material. Additionally, this was the last episode to feature Thomas' panicked face.
