- “My! What splendid coaches. So much more suitable than those old beach huts on wheels!”
- ― Lady Hatt on Annie and Clarabel
Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday is the twentieth episode of the fifth series.
Plot
The Hatts are going on holiday, but when they exit Annie and Clarabel at Tidmouth Hault, Lady Hatt complains about feels hot and tired and states about turning the two coaches into beach huts. Thomas is insulted and his driver assures him that the coaches will never be retired, rather to be improved.
The next day, Percy takes the family to Dryaw Airfield, for them to board Harold. Their flight however is delayed by a low-flying biplane called Tiger Moth, but they soon get to their retreat. After staying there for several days, Harold arrives to tell them that Tiger Moth has gone missing. Sir Topham Hatt joins the search and in the end they find Tiger Moth lodged nose-down in a haystack. Sir Topham Hatt scolds the pilot, seeing to have him and his plane grounded and continues his holiday, boating on a canal. However, they become bogged down in mud and after being unable to be pulled out by other boats, Percy helps them back to Tidmouth Hault.
At the station, Thomas, Annie and Clarabel (with new aesthetic improvements) are waiting for them. Lady Hatt comments that the coaches appear more suitable than their previous appearance, while no one says a word about it. That evening, Thomas agrees with his coaches that no matter what they look like, they will always be really useful.
