**Dirty Work** is a magazine story. It was illustrated by using photographs from the television series.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Fat Controller's engines love to look their best, but Percy does not get to be shiny and clean often as he is usually given messy jobs to do.

One fine day, the Fat Controller tells his engines that, because of a burst water main, there is not enough water for the engines to wash-down daily. The Fat Controller then tells his engines that they must try and stay clean.

Percy tries to stay clean all day, but it is not easy when he has to pull trains of troublesome coal trucks. As Percy shunts them under the hopper, the trucks pull their engine under the chute. Percy is covered in coal dust and the trucks tease him all the way home.

Back at the yard, the driver takes a broom and brushes Percy down. Then, the driver tells Percy about a load of sugar that needs to be taken to the chocolate factory. Thinking it will be a nice clean job, Percy decides to take the sugar train.

As they approach the factory, Percy skids on some oil and crashes through some buffers and disappears through the factory wall. Percy comes to a stop on the other side of the factory, covered in chocolate. Percy is sure the Fat Controller will be cross with him.

When he sees Percy, the Fat Controller is not cross. In fact, he praises Percy for remembering that usefulness comes before cleanliness. He rewards Percy with a wash-down and a new coat of paint. Percy beams with delight.

**Duck Takes Charge** is a magazine story.

ADVERTISEMENT

Percy tells the other engines that a bigger tank engine is coming to help him. James and Gordon think Percy is feeble and the small engine goes off to the station to fetch some coaches. The Fat Controller sees Percy looking sad and asks him if he would like to help build his new harbour. Percy eagerly agrees.

The new engine, Montague, presently arrives. Montague explains that he prefers to be called "Duck" and the Fat Controller orders Percy to show the new engine around. The two engines are soon very busy. Gordon, James, and Henry watch Duck quietly working. They think Duck looks a simple sort of engine and decide to tease him. They puff past Duck making quacking noises and blowing smoke at him. Percy tells Duck that they tease him, too. Duck decides to put a stop to their nonsense.

Later on, the Fat Controller hears an extraordinary noise and hurries to the yard where he finds Duck and Percy sitting on the points leading to the sheds, stopping the big engines from getting in. All of the engines get a severe scolding from the Fat Controller, especially the big engines. Afterwards, Percy is sent away to help with the new harbour and Duck is left to manage alone and does so, very easily.

**Edward's Exploits** is a magazine story.

ADVERTISEMENT

Edward is taking visitors who are on a tour of the Island of Sodor to meet Bill and Ben. He finds it hard to start the heavy train; the big engines give rude remarks on his efforts, but they are told to shut up by Duck, who tells them that Edward is better than any of them. BoCo agrees with Duck that Edward may be old, but he will surprise everyone. Then with a last huge effort, Edward finally puffs out of the station.

Bill and Ben are delighted to see Edward bring the visitors, as they love being photographed and later take the party to the china clay works in a 'Brake Van Special' to impress them. Everyone is having a splendid time in the works until it is time for them to get home in Edward's train before sundown. However, on his way back, the storm begins to blow and it rains hard. Edward's fireman has to ride in front to drop sand on the rails by hand, as his sanding gear has failed. But worse to come - Edward's crank-pins suddenly break and he is unable to puff on, as his wheels keep slipping on the wet rails.

With the help of his crew and the guard, they loosen the couplings between the coaches and Edward and he is able to move cautiously as he picks up each coupling to move each coach in a steady pace and succeeds. Finally he arrives at the station, battered and weary but unbeaten, just as Henry waits for the visitors with a special train to take them home.

Although the Fat Controller points at the clock in anger, the excited passengers cheer and thank Edward for his huge effort in taking them back at the exact time. Duck and BoCo see to it that Gordon and James remain respectfully silent, as Edward feels tired but happy to have brought the visitors back safely.

## Emily the Emerald Engine

* VII
* VI

* IV
* III

* I

**Emily** is an emerald Stirling Single tender engine who works on the North Western Railway and is the railway's number 12 engine.

She works mostly on the Main Line in odd jobs and mixed traffic duties, and once ran the Misty Valley Branch Line. Following her rescue of Gordon from a collapsing bridge and James, Percy, and Rebecca from a derailment, she was rewarded with being appointed safety engine, gaining her number with it. She also has her own set of coaches given to her because of her bravery saving Oliver.

## Biography

When Emily was new to Sodor, she was ignored by the other engines for borrowing and pulling Annie and Clarabel without Thomas' permission or knowledge. The matter was resolved after she saved both Thomas, Oliver and Toad from nearly having a nasty accident on the cross-points and she was rewarded with two new coaches. Emily proved to be kind-hearted, as she was the only engine concerned about Henry when he was ill due to leaky tubes, she stuck up for Salty when Thomas and Percy were teasing him and suggested that Bulgy help the farmer deliver his vegetables around the island, after his passenger services went wrong with some naughty hens.

However, Emily has proven to be a nuisance on occasion as she bossed everyone about when they were clearing up after a storm, Thomas when he was taking passengers and Percy when he was shunting trucks. When pulling the express for the first time, Emily was determined to keep to Gordon's timing. Unfortunately, she became impatient and ran out of water.

Later on she was assigned to the Flour Mill. She soon met with James who was assigned to the Misty Valley Branch Line, primarily the Black Loch and he told her that there was a monster in the Loch. She had trouble with the Flour Mill and ended up crashing some trucks off the line. She was later reassigned to the Misty Valley Branch Line replacing James, where she discovered that the monster was just a family of seals. She is presumed to still work the line as it has never been stated otherwise.

When Thomas had to stay at Knapford Sheds, Emily did not like his company at first as she did not want any noise; she just wanted some sleep. However, she learned how comfortable it is to have the company of friends, missing Thomas when he did not return to the sheds. Originally disappointed once Tidmouth Sheds was rebuilt, she was delighted to find that the shed had gained a seventh berth and she was transferred there to be with her new shed mates.

Appearances

**Garold** **"Gary"** **Wilson, Jr.** is SpongeBob SquarePants' pet sea snail. He lives with SpongeBob in his pineapple house on 124 Conch Street. Gary is voiced by Tom Kenny and first appears in the pilot episode, "Help Wanted."

He is a domesticated house pet with similar mannerisms to the real-world cat, most notably his "meow" sound, as snails are the underwater equivalent to cats in the show. He also has some abilities of dogs, from fetching to doing tricks. It has been suggested that SpongeBob has had Gary ever since he was a young boy. The episode "Treats!" reveals that Gary was adopted by SpongeBob. In "Plankton's Pet," SpongeBob reveals to have bought Gary at the animal shelter.

Gary was created as a minor joke character that would appear in the background of SpongeBob's bedroom, just like SpongeBob's pet scallop Shelley. However, as the series progressed, Gary developed a personality of his own beyond just saying "meow." He was eventually added to the show's Main Model Packon March 22, 2000 and became one of the ten main characters.

**Chases, Races and Runaways** is a UK VHS featuring three first series episodes and eight second series episodes narrated by Ringo Starr and four third series episodes and three fourth series episodes narrated by Michael Angelis.

2. Dirty Objects - James learns that it is wise not to speak rudely to the other engines.
3. Down the Mine - Thomas tries some mischief and finds himself in a hole!
4. Thomas, Percy and the Coal - Trucks and coal dust brings disaster.
5. Cows - Gordon and Henry tease Edward about an accident until they find out why...
6. Percy and Harold - Harold is being a nuisance, but Percy and his driver surprise him.
7. The Runaway - Duck looks after Annie and Clarabel whilst Thomas is ill.
8. A Close Shave - Duck pays a surprise visit to the barber's shop!
9. Better Late Than Never - Railway repairs make life difficult for Thomas and his friends.
10. Break Van - A brake van makes things worse for Donald and Douglas until James helps.
11. Percy's Predicament - Daisy is difficult, Percy is annoyed, and Toby tries to help.
12. Gordon and the Famous Visitor - Gordon doesn't trust the important visiting engine.
13. Toby's Tightrope - Mavis is very sorry to have put Toby in danger with her high spirits.
14. Escape - Douglas helps a frightened engine called Oliver.

18. Train Stops Play - Caroline the Car helps when Stepney disrupts a cricket match.

## Trivia

* The front cover features images from Thomas Comes to Breakfast, Off the Rails, and Trust Thomas, even though those episodes aren't on the VHS.
* Although Cows is an even-numbered episode, the credits uses the last scene from Duck Takes Charge. The same thing happened in another UK VHS, Thomas' Christmas Party and 17 other stories. It presumably is due to the fact that the original credits for the episode mention Thomas, Percy and the Coal.

## Goofs

* The description of Four Little Engines says Sir Handel has trouble with trucks, when they are actually coaches.
* Despite the VHS's title, most of the episodes are not focused on a chase, a race or a runaway.
* A comma is missing from the video title.

Irene

**Irene**is DJ 's pet fish  during Newf Kids on the Rock  and Jamaica Me Sweat . DJ considers Irene his lucky charm until he realizes that Alejandro is using her to trick him.

## Total Drama World Tour

In Newf Kids on the Rock, Irene is given to DJ when he is instructed to kiss a cod for the final challenge. He refuses to do it at first, because he is trying to eliminate himself due to his "curse," which has led to the continual injuring of animals, to end. He also believes that he will bring harm to the cod if he makes contact with it because of the "curse." Heather then points out that the fish has an Egyptian symbol on it, telling DJ that the fish might be able to end the curse. DJ refuses at first but finally listens to Heather when Alejandro agrees with her and says that DJ should do it for the good of animals all over the world. DJ then kisses Irene, and ties with Tyler and his team in the challenge of this episode. It is then revealed that, afterwards, he goes two hours without hurting an animal. This convinces him that the curse indeed is broken and that Irene is his lucky charm. This also leads him to believe as long he has her, his curse no longer takes effect. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Alejandro had painted the Egyptian symbol on Irene to gain DJ's trust.

In Jamaica Me Sweat, DJ is seen carrying Irene with him in a bowl throughout the episode. He takes her everywhere he goes, including the confessional, and when he participates in the challenge. In the first challenge, DJ accidentally knocks Irene off a cliff into the shark and eel infested waters, but jumps off the cliff and saves her before she lands. Due to DJ being too preoccupied with Irene's safety, he fails to gain the advantage in the second challenge.

During this second challenge, DJ goes through the bobsled course with Irene and finishes with the two times being faster out of everyone. Before the third and final run, Alejandro tells Tyler quite conspicuously that he painted the Egyptian symbol on the fish, intending for DJ to hear it. Upon hearing this, DJ loses his confidence and believes that he's cursed once again. Due to this, DJ loses focus, causing him to hit many animals on the course. He loses the challenge and is eliminated from the competition. From that point forward, Irene does not appear in Total Drama again.

Bubblestand

"**Bubblestand**" is a *SpongeBob SquarePants* episode from season one. In this episode, SpongeBob starts a bubblestand.

## Synopsis

The episode begins with SpongeBob walking outside to breathe in the peacefulness of the neighborhood in the morning. Suddenly, he loudly begins to build a bubble stand, much to the annoyance of Squidward, who demands SpongeBob to be quiet while he is practicing his clarinet-playing. SpongeBob stops for a time, takes a few tentative taps of his hammer, and then quickly finishes construction before Squidward has a chance to complain again.

At the newly built stand, SpongeBob offers customers to blow a bubble for twenty-five cents each. Patrick comes by and asks to try it out. However, he does not have any money, so he "borrows" a quarter from SpongeBob to pay for it. Unfortunately, Patrick's forceful blowing fails to produce a bubble. SpongeBob offers to teach him for an extra quarter, which he happily "loans" to Patrick. SpongeBob then demonstrates his somewhat peculiar, yet effective, bubble-blowing technique.

The fuming Squidward comes out and approaches the now-closed bubble stand. He demands to know how they can cause so much disruption just by blowing bubbles. SpongeBob explains that he is creating art and utilizing his technique to its fullest potential. Squidward scoffs at SpongeBob's ideas of art and marketing, sending SpongeBob and Patrick back to their homes in shame. Still snickering, Squidward begins to examine the bubble wand out of growing curiosity. As he tries to blow a bubble himself, SpongeBob quickly comes out and tells Squidward to pay a quarter, shocking him. Squidward reluctantly lays down a quarter for the bubble.

Squidward attempts to impress the two with his skill, to no avail. All the while, SpongeBob and Patrick try to convince him to use the technique. Fed up, Squidward furiously and mockingly copies their technique, finally screaming into the wand in anger. His screams end up producing a giant bubble, thoroughly impressing SpongeBob and Patrick.

Squidward heads back inside his house and begins to play his clarinet once more, with SpongeBob and Patrick chanting his name while dancing. However, the giant bubble floats down and encapsulates Squidward's house, unearthing it and floating with it up in the air.

When at last Squidward looks outside to greet his "fans," he sees himself high above the ground with SpongeBob and Patrick little more than specks. The bubble then pops with explosive force, prompting SpongeBob and Patrick to look at each other nervously and retreat to their houses.

Once Squidward's house floats back down to the ground, Squidward ends the episode by letting out a few final feeble notes from his clarinet.
