Series 10

View source

The tenth series of Thomas & Friends was first broadcast in September 2006. This was the only series with twenty-eight episodes until the twentieth series; it was narrated by Michael Angelis in the UK and Michael Brandon in the US.

Production

Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy had fully brass replicas made during this series' production. This was due to their original plastic models being twenty-two years old at this point and tight filming schedules meant there was very little room for emergency maintenance.

The new models were made out of brass and equipped with CNC machined aluminium chassis powered by DC motors. From this point onwards the plastic models would be used as "stunt doubles" for crash sequences and/or other instances that would damage their brass counterparts, with the exception of the episode, Big Strong Henry, where one of Henry's brass models was used for the crash instead of his plastic model. This may be due to the plastic model having a previously loose middle left drive wheel which is visible in promotional photographs and some scenes of the episode Henry and the Wishing Tree. The way the crash in that episode unfolded could have caused the old repair to fail.

In one particular episode, The Green Controller, James' original plastic model was repainted into the black and yellow bee livery, likely because the production team did not want to ruin the new brass model after it had just been built. However, James' original plastic tender was not repainted, oddly enough, it was the new brass tender.

This series also marks the final appearances of Edward and James' plastic models, which were both retired completely after the episode, James the Second Best.

In the episode Thomas and Skarloey's Big Day Out, Skarloey's small scale model was used again for the first time since the fifth series (excluding stock footage appearances in the seventh series). It was used for the long shots alongside Thomas' gauge 1 model because the large scale Skarloey model would have been severely out of scale.

Some buildings that were built in the fourth series were remade during production of this series. Some of the buildings included Neptune Refreshments, the Antiques and Newsagents shop, a cottage, Cyril's Cottage and Dryaw Goods Station from the third series.

When Series 10 was airing on Nick Jr. and Nick Jr. 2 in the UK and Ireland, PBS Kids in the US and Treehouse TV in Canada, two tenth series episodes were paired along with a segment called "Sodor's Special Places" involving one of the locations on the Island of Sodor. In the Nick Jr. airings in the UK and Ireland, PBS Kids airings in the US, and the Treehouse airings in Canada, they include an opening when Thomas' crew gets him ready for another day's work and an ending when Thomas' crew cleans him after a day's work just like it was used during the ninth series airings in 2005. In Brazil, four out of the fourteen airings were released on DVD. The DVDs are New Adventures with Thomas and Fantasy Island.
