Ivor the Engine

1. The Railway

Air Date: 1976-01-26

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!

2. The Egg

Air Date: 1976-01-27

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!

3. The Proper Container

Air Date: 1976-01-29

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.

4. The Alarm

Air Date: 1976-01-30

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

5. The Retreat

Air Date: 1976-02-02

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.

6. The Hat

Air Date: 1976-02-03

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!

7. Old Nell

Air Date: 1976-02-05

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.

8. Mr Brangwyn's Pigeons

Air Date: 1976-02-06

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

9. The Visitor

Air Date: 1976-02-09

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

10. The Invalid

Air Date: 1976-02-10

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

11. The Boot

Air Date: 1976-02-12

We can all be recognised by the sort of clothes we wear, but this invalid is rescued by her boot and everybody is happy at last.

12. Banger's Circus

Air Date: 1976-02-13

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!

13. Unidentified Objects

Air Date: 1976-02-16

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

14. Mrs Porty's Foxes

Air Date: 1976-02-17

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

15. Bluebell

Air Date: 1976-02-19

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.

16. Dai and the Donkey

Air Date: 1976-02-20

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

17. Gold

Air Date: 1976-02-23

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.

18. Mrs Porty

Air Date: 1976-02-24

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.

19. Cold

Air Date: 1976-02-26

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

20. The Endowment

Air Date: 1976-02-27

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.

1. Snowdrifts

Air Date: 1977-11-22

When the snow is deep and Mrs Williams runs out of jelly-babies, it is time to invent something to move the snow out of the way.

2. Cold Sheep

Air Date: 1977-11-23

Some snowdrifts are just snow, but some have more than snow in them, and they must not be ploughed aside, even for the sake of the General's new teeth.

3. The Fire Engine

Air Date: 1977-11-24

Some fire engines will go absolutely anywhere, so long as they don't get stuck. Then they must not be too proud to ask for help.

4. Sledging

Air Date: 1977-11-25

Pulling sledges up the hill can be quite fun, if you are strong enough, but it can be even more fun sledging down the hill again - if you have a sledge.

5. The Rescue

Air Date: 1977-11-29

When all the latest technical equipment cannot pull you out of trouble, perhaps it is time to get help from more old-fashioned pushers and pullers.

6. The Water Tower

Air Date: 1977-11-30

Some engines are very particular about what they will or will not be willing to drink, for the sake of who or what happens to be in the drink.

7. Mrs Bird

Air Date: 1977-12-01

We must always do what we can to help others, even if they do chose to build their houses in such extraordinarily silly places.

8. The Cuckoo-clock

Air Date: 1977-12-02

It doesn't tell the time any more, it doesn't sing anymore. It is no use at all, except to a homelessbird and her family.

9. The Trumpet

Air Date: 1977-12-06

Some trumpets sound very low indeed, but some sound so loud that only mythical creatures can hear them, and they will come to your aid.

10. Time Off

Air Date: 1977-12-07

What is life if full of case we have no time to be with our friends and do nothing at all. We don't all have to be busy all the time.

11. The Seaside

Air Date: 1977-12-08

Everybody loves to go to the seaside and have fun splashing about in the surf, but some of us aren't able to - and that is a bit sad.

12. The Lost Engine

Air Date: 1977-12-09

Engines don't always do what you would expect them to do, but luckily they are very rarely stolen by gangsters.

13. The Outing

Air Date: 1977-12-13

Even the most difficult feats of engineering can be achieved, especially if they will help a friend to join in the fun, and also get very wet.

14. Half-Crowns

Air Date: 1977-12-14

The money may no longer buy things in the shops, but people who know where to find it can help to keep the dragons warm.

15. Sheep Herding

Air Date: 1977-12-15

Who said only dogs can herd sheep? Everybody should be allowed to have a try and it doesn't matter a bit how heavy they are.

16. Juggernaut

Air Date: 1977-12-16

When Ivor leaves to seek his fame and fortune, who or what can take his place? Is it worth a load of gold just for the pleasure of seing it go?

17. The Bird House

Air Date: 1977-12-20

Ivor has earned a small fortune, but even though he knows what he wants to buy with it, can he persuade them to take the money?

18. Chickens

Air Date: 1977-12-21

Keeping lots of friends warm on his boiler may help to keep his friends warm, but it makes him a bit grubby. But there are some advantages in it.

19. St. George

Air Date: 1977-12-22

Very small dragons do sometimes make mistakes when they meet an old enemy, especially if they don't notice what he is made of.

20. Retirement

Air Date: 1977-12-23

There are places where a dragon could possibly live, but wouldn't want to, and there are places which, with a little help, will do very nicely, thankyou.
