Ivor the Engine Episode Guide
The Railway
S1 Ep1
4.8
26th Jan 1976
Nothing out of the ordinary even happens on this little railway in the top left-hand corner of Wales. But what ordinarily happens is often fairly extraordinary!
The Egg
S1 Ep2
27th Jan 1976
Who lays eggs in a Volcano? Somebody does and Jones and Ivor take the gold-miner's advice and keep it warm - until they hear it sing!
The Proper Container
S1 Ep3
29th Jan 1976

The Alarm
S1 Ep4
7.0
30th Jan 1976
Some creatures are real and some are mythical, even if they are good at frying fish, and they want to stay mythical.
The Retreat
S1 Ep5
7.0
2nd Feb 1976
If you want to hide, perhaps the best thing is to pretend you were never there in the first place - even if it does make your friend look a bit of a fool.
The Hat
S1 Ep6
3rd Feb 1976
Mrs Porty does wear some unusual hats but she wouldn't expect to be arrested for wearing one of them - certainly not in front of the Church Ladies Guild!
Old Nell
S1 Ep7
5th Feb 1976
It's a hard life being a sheep dog, especially when the silly sheep and the engine driver need to be rescued. Sometimes railway engines are more sensible than people.
Mr Brangwyn's Pigeons
S1 Ep8
6th Feb 1976
Ivor the Engine, when he sings, could charm the very birds off the trees - or at least the pigeons off Miss Price's roof.
The Visitor
S1 Ep9
9th Feb 1976
Visitors are always welcome. Even wounded visitors weighing several tons can be accomodated by Mr Hughes the Gasworks.
The Invalid
S1 Ep10
10th Feb 1976
Nobody likes to take medicine, but some patients are so unhelpful that even the most patient nurse loses patience and gets the boot.
The Boot
S1 Ep11
12th Feb 1976
We can all be recognised by the sort of clothes we wear, but this invalid is rescued by her boot and everybody is happy at last.
Banger's Circus
S1 Ep12
13th Feb 1976
If you are far from home it is a great joy if home comes to find you. And what a show it puts on when it does!
Unidentified Objects
S1 Ep13
16th Feb 1976
Are these strange apparitions flying saucers or just the bubbles of a goldminer's boredom - and what's the use of gold anyway?
Mrs Porty's Foxes
S1 Ep14
17th Feb 1976
Some wear fancy hats in order to look beautiful. Some wear them to save their friends - but what else should an engine-driver do?
Bluebell
S1 Ep15
19th Feb 1976
A good donkey will always do what she is told, even though she has to run a long way to do it. Luckily there are wheels for the return journey.
Dai and the Donkey

20th Feb 1976

Volcanoes are not really things that people need, but for some they are home from home - if they can find one.
The Endowment

27th Feb 1976
If you can't find a desirable volcano, then you must seek the help of a learned society which has a lot of half-crowns.
