There's no faulting the content of this DVD, even if our household do prefer the original episode format (this is the first series made in the computer enhanced, longer episode format with the "Engine Roll Call" theme song).
The reason I've marked it down is because of the mess Hit have made of the presentation.
One star is lost because of the trailers at the start of the DVD, which can't be skipped. This is an inexcusable liberty (it takes long enough to load up as it is), which thankfully wasn't taken with the previous series 1-7.
The second star is lost because of the fact that you have to sit through the entire introduction and extended theme tunes at the start and end of every episode, whether you choose to "play all" or "select an episode". This gets tedious very quickly.
My advice to Hit for series 9 is simple: Drop the trailers, and instead include the introduction ("Welcome to the island of Sodor", "Who's that puffing down the track?" etc.) just once, before the options screen. Then start and end each episode with a cut down version of the theme tune.
If these mistakes were corrected I would have given it 5 stars.

I love this dvd. We all LOVE the song after every episode & the fact we can all sing along with my child, who at 2 yrs thinks this is fantastic. Stories are great as usual and love it - can't fault it except you can't skip the ads at beginning - THAT IS ANNOYING & they need to sort that out for the next series, which i hope will still include the song :-)
the dvd was well worth the money as it was as good as new. it came on time and would buy from this seller again.there was a qite few storys and my son plays it over and over. i would recomend this to anyone.

great value for money
26 ten-minute episode (plus extras) and you've got well over 4 hours of Thomas and his friends. Yes, it might be extremely repetitive, but my two-year-old just can't get enough of... Read more

By far the worst Thomas Series
