1x1 - The Railway

January 26, 1976

Nothing out of the ordinary even happens on this little railway in the top left-hand corner of Wales. But what ordinarily happens is often fairly extraordinary!

1x2 - The Egg

January 27, 1976

Who lays eggs in a Volcano? Somebody does and Jones and Ivor take the gold-miner's advice and keep it warm - until they hear it sing!

1x3 - The Proper Container

January 29, 1976

What is the proper container for red-hot livestock? The Regulations are quite definite but definitely inflammable. So another, more suitable conveyance must be found.

1x4 - The Alarm

January 30, 1976

Some creatures are real and some are mythical, even if they are good at frying fish, and they want to stay mythical.

1x5 - The Retreat

February 2, 1976

If you want to hide, perhaps the best thing is to pretend you were never there in the first place - even if it does make your friend look a bit of a fool.

1x6 - The Hat

February 3, 1976

Mrs Porty does wear some unusual hats but she wouldn't expect to be arrested for wearing one of them - certainly not in front of the Church Ladies Guild!

1x7 - Old Nell

February 5, 1976

It's a hard life being a sheep dog, especially when the silly sheep and the engine driver need to be rescued. Sometimes railway engines are more sensible than people.

1x8 - Mr Brangwyn's Pigeons

February 6, 1976

Ivor the Engine, when he sings, could charm the very birds off the trees - or at least the pigeons off Miss Price's roof.

1x9 - The Visitor

February 9, 1976

Visitors are always welcome. Even wounded visitors weighing several tons can be accomodated by Mr Hughes the Gasworks.

1x10 - The Invalid

February 10, 1976

Nobody likes to take medicine, but some patients are so unhelpful that even the most patient nurse loses patience and gets the boot.

1x12 - Banger's Circus

February 13, 1976

If you are far from home it is a great joy if home comes to find you. And what a show it puts on when it does!

1x13 - Unidentified Objects

February 16, 1976

Are these strange apparitions flying saucers or just the bubbles of a goldminer's boredom - and what's the use of gold anyway?

1x14 - Mrs Porty's Foxes

February 17, 1976

Some wear fancy hats in order to look beautiful. Some wear them to save their friends - but what else should an engine-driver do?

1x15 - Bluebell

February 19, 1976

A good donkey will always do what she is told, even though she has to run a long way to do it. Luckily there are wheels for the return journey.

1x16 - Dai and the Donkey

February 20, 1976

The dividing line between being a nuisance and being useful depends on what sort of disaster is waiting for a small engine.

1x17 - Gold

February 23, 1976

What is the point in having a bit of gold put by if you can't spend a bit to help your friends when they are in trouble.

1x18 - Mrs Porty

February 24, 1976

Perhaps gold will not do to buy the railway, but Mrs Porty is not going to stand by and let her donkey lose a dear friend.

1x19 - Cold

February 26, 1976

Volcanoes are not really things that people need, but for some they are home from home - if they can find one.

1x20 - The Endowment

February 27, 1976

If you can't find a desirable volcano, then you must seek the help of a learned society which has a lot of half-crowns.
