TTTE S5E22: Make Someone Happy

I'm going to review something to cheer Mrs. Kyndley and James up.

126. Make Someone Happy.
Written by: Britt Allcroft and David Mitton.
Aired: UK: 13 October 1998. AUS: 22 December 1998. CAN: 9 February 1999.

After James boasts about himself, Thomas tells him to think of other things and other people. When James is shunting trucks, he sees Mrs. Kyndley, who discovered that her sister cannot visit her. Sir Topham Hatt soon hears the news and James is happy when Harold gives her a ride. James later takes Mrs. Kyndley on a mystery tour and Mrs. Kyndley is delighted when she gets to open the seaside fair. James then agrees with Thomas that making someone happy does make him happy.

This is an episode that some kids can watch if they're feeling depressed, especially when James is disappointed with having to work with dirty trucks all day, and when Missus Kyndley's sister couldn't stay with her that week.

It was a very mysterious tour James took Mrs. Kyndley on. A beautiful fun fair. Though I did find it a bit weird when I heard that clown laugh at the end.

This episode does show we can get frustrated when having to do odd jobs all day, and that we can get upset whenever family plans are cancelled, and that we do need cheering up every time, just like James and Missus Kyndley here. And it funny when Harold made James' red paint dustier than ever! And we got to see James pulling Gordon's Special Coach. Sadly, this is the last time we see Kirk Ronan.

My rating: 9.5/10.
