Alfie Has a Secret is a cancelled episode of Jack and the Sodor Construction Company.
Plot
A new school crossing is being built. Jack is surprised to see Alfie at the site, after all, they do not need any trenches dug. Alfie will not tell Jack or Isobella what his job is. As the day progresses, Jack and Isobella watch Alfie drilling and then digging a trench across the road. Alfie then lays a pipe in the trench and puts up a small sign with a picture of a hedgehog on it.
Alfie had been building a crossing for the hedgehogs while Jack and Isobella had made one for the children. Now everyone can cross the road safely.
Characters
Trivia
- The plot is similar to that of the Bob the Builder episode "Bob Saves the Hedgehogs". The physical behaviour of the machines as described in the plot outline, such as Jack laying a pipe and Kelly delivering signs, is also more similar to Bob the Builder than usual. This possibly could have been one of the reasons it was cancelled.
- The plot outline of the episode was written on 24th April 2002. Its document was created later that same day, along with those of Isobella Gets Steamed and The Grass is Greener.[1]
