Product Description
Six brand new adventures with the blue-faced locomotive and his vehicular friends. In 'Molly's Special Special' - a new engine on Sodor Island is in charge of shunting empty coal wagons but wants to be more useful and shunt the full ones. After an incident no one could have predicted, everyone learns that all trucks are equally important. In 'Respect For Gordon' Gordon has a rather nasty firebox cough and needs a few days off. Everyone else has to cover and they find a new respect for wee G after realizing his job is tougher than they thought. In 'Emily Knows Best' Emily fancies being queen for a day, to everyone's amusement. She has a go but realises that queen-hood is not for everyone. In 'Saving Edward', Edward has some mechanical trouble but hides it, fearing that, as an older engine, he'll be sent to scrap. Thomas has got Eddie's back and pitches in but Sir Topham finds out. In 'Thomas And The Golden Eagle' Thomas and Percy are determined to get a glimpse of the eagle that's been spotted on Sodor. One covers for each other as they each take a shot at searching for the bird but soon, Percy is getting short changed by Thomas' behaviour. In 'Rheneas And The Dinosaur' some dinosaur bones are discovered and the Thin Controller sends them to the transfer yards using Rheneas but is the elderly engine strong enough to carry them all alone or will his brother Skarloey need to pitch in?

This really is the ultimate DVD. Forget the weaker newer series's of Thomas - this features the first 5 classic seasons that really reflect the true strength of the programme.
All of the 5 series are fantastic entertainment and although it is essentially a kids show, adults and teens can't help but be impressed too! Series 2 and 5 are the best here, but all of the episodes are worth having. In chronological order, it is a neat and complete collection, excellent value for 130 episodes!

Series 1 1984 (Best episode - The Flying Kipper)
Series 2 1986 (Best episode - Old Iron)
Series 3 1991 (Best episode - Heroes)
Series 4 1994 (Best episode - Paint Pots and Queens)
Series 5 1998 (Best episode - Cranky Bugs)
There are so many classic moments that you will remember from your childhood such as Henry being locked up in the tunnel, Percy pretending to be a ghost and the chilling trilogy where the evil Diesel tries to take over the railway!
A must have a fans young and old.

Format:DVD
This is a great collection to own for little ones who are avid train lovers. The stories are well and clearly narrated by Ringo Starr. The stories are both entertaining as well as educational especially if you just happen to live by a railway station as we do. And the graphics expressing the emotions of the various trains are well done. The only thing I didn't like was the rather repetitive theme song at the start and end of each episode, however my boy was quite oblivious to it.

A few words: 2-year-old boy.
Yes, if you have a 2-year-old who is nuts about Thomas, then this collection is an absolute must as a parent-sanity-saver! With 130 episodes, there is no getting tired of seeing the same de-railments over and over and over and over...
Plus, I like to see things "complete" so I particularly enjoyed watching the "entire" stories in each series, rather than the isolated episodes that usually appear in Thomas collections.
Both me and my 2-year-old are now happy as can be!

Not as good as number 2, but still worth buying for little Thomas fans. You can get it cheap too.

A perfect entertainment for kids and their parents
I have not much to say, because I've already purchased many "Thomas and friends", and I don't want to keep repeating the same praises...The kids and I love this excellent series.

Starting to go bad
After series 2 this is not as good as the first two. For a start a number of stories were written with no idea of how a railway works eg Henry's Forest. Read more
