The Fat Controller, Narrator and others in “Thomas Goes Fishing”

Inspector, can you see... fish?

Thomas was horrified upon hearing such news.

Gracious, goodness me! How did the fish get there, Driver?

We must've fished them from the river with our bucket.

Well, Thomas, so you and your Driver have been fishing. But fish don't suit you. We must get them out.

They all took turns at fishing in Thomas' tank, while The Fat Controller looked on and told them how to do it. When they had caught all the fish, they had a lovely picnic supper of fish and chips.

[finishes meal] Mmm! That was good! But fish don't suit you, Thomas, so you mustn't do it again.

No, Sir, I won't. Engines don't go fishing. It's too uncomfortable.
