    • Trivia
      Before "Big World! Big Adventures!," Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Annie, Clarabel, Henrietta, Bertie, and The Fat Controller (known in the American dubs as "Sir Topham Hatt") were the only characters who have appeared in every season of the series. Bertie does not appear in Season 22 and Henrietta does not appear in Season 23.
    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      Thomas: Well, bust my buffers!

    • Crazy credits
      [UK version only] During the fifth season, Michael Angelis (the narrator) is not credited in the opening titles.
    • Alternate versions
      When the first two series of "Thomas the Tank Engine" were broadcast in the UK, some of the episodes were linked with a montage of each engine being surrounded by a crowd, with a name plate in front of them.

    Love this series
    I have been watching the DVD's (usually the best of, or one that highlights a character) with both of my boys, and I LOVE this series, I haven't seen any yet with Ringo Starr as the narrator, but I am sure those will be just as enjoyable when I do get the first season. Does any one know what size they are modeling the series at? As a Train enthusiast, they look 'O' gage to me, but not sure if they have a different system over there to determine train size. I would love to see them at some point run a contest to create a new character ya know a color, face, name type thing.

    And for those of you that got the season 1 DVD, How many episodes and what kind of bonus features came with it? I know I would like to see the sets they work with in terms of size alone because they must be HUGE!
