Fish

Fish is the twenty-fourth episode of the fourth season.

Plot
Extra vans are needed for "The Flying Kipper" and, to Henry's annoyance, the only ones available are old and unsafe. At Wellsworth, Duck buffers up as a banker to help Henry up Gordon's Hill, but a tail-lamp falls off and Henry slows down while Duck lags behind and eventually crashes into a van. The mess is cleared up in the morning and Duck reflects that Thomas' earlier advice about fish was right.
