Thomas & Friends S19, S20 season 21 episode 13, titled P.A. Problems, revolves around a series of events that take place in the Island of Sodor. The episode begins with Sir Topham Hatt announcing that the engines will be getting personal assistants, which will help them with their daily tasks. Thomas is excited about getting a personal assistant, but things don't go as planned.
When Thomas receives his P.A., he quickly realizes that his assistant is eager to help, but not very efficient. The assistant, named P.A. Penny, constantly makes mistakes and causes confusion on the railway. Despite her best efforts, P.A. Penny's lack of experience and skill lead her to make a series of mistakes.
The other engines soon begin to notice Thomas's frustration with his personal assistant and share their own concerns about their own P.A.s. James, who is always concerned about his appearance, gets an assistant who is always trying to style him up, but in the process, causes him to be late for his deliveries. Percy's P.A., named P.A. Pear, is always so timid that she frequently forgets to tell him where to go. Gordon's assistant, P.A. Gloria, is so efficient that she often leaves him with nothing to do, which makes him frustrated.
As the day progresses, the engines begin to feel the pressure of their poor personal assistants and start to make mistakes. These mistakes lead to delays, confusion and frustration among the engines and Sir Topham Hatt.
However, things turn around when Sir Topham Hatt calls for a meeting with all the personal assistants. During the meeting, he highlights the importance of communication and asks the assistants to work together to improve their skills and support the engines. The assistants, inspired by the meeting, quickly get to work and begin supporting their engines in a more efficient manner.
In the end, the engines realize that their personal assistants were just learning and are willing to give them a chance to get better. Together, they work as a team to improve their communication and ensure the smooth running of the railway.
Overall, P.A. Problems is an engaging episode that highlights the challenges of learning and adjusting to new technology. It is also a great reminder of the importance of teamwork and communication in the workplace. The episode is a must-watch for children who are learning about the importance of patience, persistence, and working together as a team.
