Bye George!

"You're a useless blue puffball!"

- George

Bye George! is the seventh episode of the fifth season.

Plot
Percy takes George to a construction site where he is needed to flatten some ground, but when he has to flatten a crossing George deliberately tarmacs the rails, and when Thomas runs through he derails and runs into a barn. Later, George is working in a station yard when Duck arrives with some trucks, but George is blocking the way and a truck is still on the main line. Before Gordon and the Express can be alerted, Gordon rushes through and hits the truck. When the Fat Controller hears, he sends George to the timber mill to learn manners.

 * Why would the workmen tarmac the whole rails?
 * When Thomas breaks through the barn his wheels appear to have no movement at all.
 * In a long shot of George in the yard, the tracks which Gordon runs on ends dead.
 * Wires are sticking out of George when he blocks Duck's way.
 * While Gordon races through with the Express, studio equipment is visible in the shot from Gordon's point of view.
 * In some shots of Gordon, look closely behind him and you can see he is pulling no coaches.
 * Had Gordon's incident occurred in real life, the truck would have been flung aside and Duck should have jerked forward.
 * The "Thomas and Friends: Series 5" VHS box set's plot for this episode mentions that George had his roller and wheels removed as punishment, but this never happened.
