Spills and Thrills

Spills and Thrills is an US/UK/AUS DVD containing six never-before seen seventeenth season episodes. An additional fourteenth season episode is featured in the Australian DVD replacing a seventeenth season episode.

Description
All aboard for Spills and Thrills with Thomas and his friends! The Island of Sodor is always bustling with activity, yet when the engines try to be Really Useful they often find themselves in some messy muddles! James tries to prove he's not afraid of the dark, or too vain to haul smelly fish, but when he pulls the night time Kipper Express he gets more than he bargained for! Stephen's need for speed, and Salty's need to impress, sends them both into some sticky, slippery situations; Hiro shows Diesel that nice engines do finish first and The Fat Controller shows you can't cry over spilt milk...twice! It's full steam ahead for Spills and Thrills on Sodor!
