Episode 4

Juggernaut

When Ivor leaves to seek his fame and fortune, something threatens to take his place; it is worth a load of gold just for the pleasure of seeing it go.

Episode 5

Half-Crowns

The money may no longer buy things in the shops, but people who know where to find it can help to keep the dragons warm.

Episode 6

Snowdrifts

It's winter in the top left-hand corner of Wales and Ivor's railway is not running because of deep snow. Llaniog needs supplies soon, though, as Eli the Baker is nearly out of flour. What Ivor needs is a snowplough.

Episode 7

The Fire Engine

Some fire engines will go absolutely anywhere, so long as they don't get stuck. Then they must not be too proud to ask for help.

Episode 8

Sledging

Pulling sledges up the hill can be quite fun, if you are strong enough but it can be even more fun sledging down the hill again - if you have a sledge.

Episode 9

The Hat

Mrs Porty does wear some very unusual hats but she wouldn't expect to be arrested for wearing one of them, certainly not in front of the Church Ladies Guild.

Episode 10

Retirement

The Dragons are in danger of being caged. Luckily, Mr. Dynwiddy knows just the place for them to live. But will everyone have to say goodbye to the Dragons forever?
