An excellent season and a vast improvement from Series 3. The stories of the Skarloey railway are some of the finest, and are quite a nice break from the regular characters.

I got Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends: Series 4 to replace my videos of Rock 'n' Roll and Other Stories & Thomas & Stepney and Other Stories which have severe wear and tear. All 26 stories are on this disc with different characters like Duke, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Skarloey, Rheneas & Duncan. My only complaint is that the storyteller Michael Angelis seems to have gone back and re-narrated the first 13 stories again, just like he did in Series 3, for the DVD release, which is really annoying. To me, he did it perfectly on the video releases. Obviously he wasn't happy with the narrating that he did the first time around and decided to change it. But that criticism aside, this DVD is still worth owning!

In this series we get a slight refresh of characters as we are introduced to the small and narrow gauge engines. The stories told are pretty faithful retelings of those in the original Awdry stories and with Rhenaus, Skarloey, Peter Sam and, of course Duke, there is a new dynamic to the relationships. For me this is something of a swansong: after this the stories were increasingly written by Britt Allcroft and co (which are not always as bad as people make out) and lack some of the authenticity and depth of the originals. Also, you don't get those annoying sing-alongs for which I won't be so forgiving of Ms Allcroft!

The acid test is what my two-and-a-half year old grandson thinks of it. The dvd is fine and works ok, and he was initially very keen. Read more
