“I thought you were really useful.”
― The Fat Controller towards Victor

Victor Says Yes is the ninth episode of the fourteenth series.

Plot

It is a very busy day at the Steamworks. 'Arry and Bert are to have new valves fitted, Percy is waiting to have a new coat of paint applied, Edward's boiler is broken and there are also trucks being repaired. Then, the Fat Controller and Gordon, who has blocked-up cylinder valves, arrive. Gordon needs to be repaired urgently, as he is to take some children to Brendam to go on a boat trip. Victor promises to mend Gordon, despite there being no room at the Steamworks.

Next, Thomas arrives with a broken footplate. Victor still knows that there is no room and no time to fix Thomas, but is still determined to be the best, so he agrees to fix Thomas too. Then, Emily arrives; she is to collect a very important visitor from Brendam Docks and wants her buffers polished. Victor again knows that he does not have the room or the time to polish her buffers, but he wants to be Really Useful, so he allows her to stay and wait.

By now, the Steamworks is packed with engines. Victor orders Gordon to chuff backwards, but his blocked-up cylinder valves shoot soot all over the Fat Controller's car as he returns to check on Gordon. The Fat Controller scolds Victor when he sees all the chaos. Victor apologises to the Fat Controller and promises to put everything right.

Victor starts to organise the engines; first, he gets the workmen to clear Gordon's cylinder valves, tells Emily her buffers will be polished the next day, Edward to wait his turn and promises to have his boiler fixed very soon, Percy that he will be repainted soon and promises that 'Arry and Bert will be fixed straight after Gordon. He also asks Thomas to come back the following day.

Later, when Victor looks around the Steamworks, he sees that everything is under control and so does the Fat Controller when he returns. The Fat Controller calls Victor a Really Useful Engine. Kevin asks Victor if he thinks he is really useful, to which Victor explains that they are both really useful together, despite Kevin's clumsiness when he drops another load, leaving the two of them to laugh about it.

Goofs

  • When the Fat Controller brings Gordon to the Steamworks, Gordon's regulator is still open when he stops.
  • In some scenes of Victor moving and then stopping, his boiler wobbles.
  • The narrator says smoke comes out of Gordon's valves, but it is actually coming from his cylinders. However, smoke only travels through the chimney.

  • In the Finnish dub, Kevin's English name is used once by accident.
