Description

2010

It was 65 years ago when the Reverend W. Awdry told his young son, Christopher, a story about a cheeky, fussy, little, blue engine called Thomas the Tank Engine. Since then Thomas and Friends has captured the hearts and imaginations of children and parents around the world. Part of that phenomenon has been the episodes that children have adored since the launch of the TV series in 1984.

To celebrate 65 years of Thomas and Friends we have put together the very best 20 episodes, from the classic live action to the all new animation. Watch Thomas and his friends in their most thrilling adventures featuring legendary storytellers Ringo Starr and Michael Angelis.

Trivia

  • The Little Blue Book came free with the 2010 release of the DVD.
  • It was re-released with an updated cover in 2012 to coincide with The Best of James and The Best of Percy releases. However, the disc remains largely the same, with only the 65th Anniversary advertisement and the Bob the Builder: The Legend of the Golden Hammer trailer removed.
  • Despite this release's title, Thomas is not the main character in every episode. This was possibly because the DVD was originally going to be called The Best of Thomas and Friends, meaning that not all episodes of the DVD should obligatorily be Thomas themed. He does still appear in all of the episodes, though.
