If you ever see me in real life, you might recognise me by a keychain with a chicken on it. I just like chickens, and I put them on my stuff to draw attention (and it works). One chicken I bought in March I've had on my binder for each day of school. Well, just a few weeks ago, I lost it for a day, and realised it fell off on the bus, like it sometimes does. However, the very next day, it fell off in the middle of the hallway. It's gone for good, but I got two new ones one Monday (and when you squeeze them, 'eggs' come out). However, one of them didn't even last two days. Yesterday, this guy at school squeezed it and pulled at it. I told him not to rip it, but he did. Then, when I put the headless chicken in my binder, its 'egg' exploded, filling my papers with goo. It was a good call buying a spare one that night!

Now I'll review Harvey. He's basically the concept of Terence, but on rails. The engine's unusual exterior is what made him really useful. But what I noticed is that - unlike Terence, who soon made friends with the others in some prominent roles - Harvey never really had major friends. Thomas is a friend to everyone, but he's more of an aquaintance to Harvey. Edward and James now have a unique friendship, as did Toby and Mavis, Thomas with Percy and Emily, and perhaps Gordon and Henry. But Harvey was someone who was always too busy working it seemed. He saved Percy once, but he never really expanded on that friendship. He was more of a loner

That was probably what led to his downfall. He had a fantastic personality, but perhaps the guys at the studio wanted a helper that was more in-touch with the others. That's why Rocky is already firm friends with Edward. With Rocky, even though they made an intermission showing how they are both useful, as long as Rocky has friends who can pull him, Harvey may not be in the same dimmed spotlight he was in. It's a shame too, as he represents practically every adult who would go out of his or her way for a minute to please a child. We can only hope that more characters that represent people in such a great way will come in the future.

Nice review of Harvey! Harvey had a good personality in him, but when HIT Entertainment came, they seemed to make him a fancy breakdown train in the form of a tank engine. I mean, in HIT's series, he was always seen clearing up messes and accidents, and only had speaking roles whenever it was necessary to the story.

Awsome review! It looks like Harvey gets less and less time in the spotlight during the last few seasons.

That was an intesting review on Harvey. He is one of the most unusually designed charecters and that is the main reason why he appeals to me

I like that review on Harvey and Rocky! I hope Harvey had more roles since he had a non-speaking role.
