Ep 24. Bill Or Ben?

In the episode "Bill Or Ben?" of the seventeenth season of Thomas & Friends, the two cheeky twins, Bill and Ben, cause trouble at Brendam Docks. One morning, they arrive to find that Cranky the Crane is stuck in place and can't move. The twins soon realize that it is because Cranky has lost his voice and is unable to communicate with anyone.

Seeing an opportunity to have some fun, Bill and Ben decide to play pranks on the other engines by pretending to be each other. This leads to confusion and chaos as the other engines struggle to figure out which twin is which. Meanwhile, Cranky becomes more and more frustrated as he is unable to signal for help.

Eventually, Thomas suggests that the twins use their similarities to their advantage and work together to solve the problem. They come up with a plan to use different tones of whistle from their steam engines to communicate with Cranky. The plan works and Cranky is able to be moved and fixed.

In the end, the twins learn the importance of communication and working together, and promise to behave themselves in the future. The other engines are relieved that the chaos has ended and Brendam Docks is back to normal.

Overall, "Bill Or Ben?" is a lighthearted and fun episode that showcases the mischievous nature of the two twins while also teaching a valuable lesson about cooperation. It is a great addition to the seventeenth season of Thomas & Friends.
