S01E01 The Railway
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!
Ivor the Engine
Overview
Ivor the Engine is a British children's animation by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's Smallfilms company. It is a children's television series relating the adventures of a small green locomotive who lived in the "top left-hand corner of Wales" and worked for The Merioneth and Llantisilly Railway Traction Company Limited. His friends included Jones the Steam, Evans the Song and Dai Station, among many other characters.
Episodes
S01E02 The Egg
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!
S01E03 The Proper Container
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.
S01E04 The Alarm
Some creatures are real and some are mythical, even if they are good at frying fish, and they want to stay mythical.
S01E05 The Retreat
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.
S01E06 The Hat
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!
S01E07 Old Nell
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.
S01E08 Mr Brangwyn's Pigeons
Ivor the Engine, when he sings, could charm the very birds off the trees - or at least the pigeons off Miss Price's roof.
S01E09 The Visitor
Visitors are always welcome. Even wounded visitors weighing several tons can be accomodated by Mr Hughes the Gasworks.
S01E10 The Invalid
Nobody likes to take medicine, but some patients are so unhelpful that even the most patient nurse loses patience and gets the boot.
S01E11 The Boot
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.
S01E12 Banger's Circus
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!
S01E13 Unidentified Objects
Are these strange apparitions flying saucers or just the bubbles of a goldminer's boredom - and what's the use of gold anyway?
S01E14 Mrs Porty's Foxes
Some wear fancy hats in order to look beautiful. Some wear them to save their friends - but what else should an engine-driver do?
S01E15 Bluebell
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.
S01E16 Dai and the Donkey
The dividing line between being a nuisance and being useful depends on what sort of disaster is waiting for a small engine.
S01E17 Gold
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.
S01E18 Mrs Porty
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.
S01E19 Cold
Volcanoes are not really things that people need, but for some they are home from home - if they can find one.
S01E20 The Endowment
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.
