Thomas the tank engine

I originally watched Thomas when it was narrated by ringo starr in the early 90s. Have recently got into it with DS.

I looked on YouTube for some episodes between the Ringo Starr ones > the new version (Thomas and friends plus big world big adventure)

A lot of them seem to be acted with American accents but I can't find the same version of that episode with an English accent iyswim. So did they change the accents from English (mostly liverpudlian) - American - English?

I have become overly invested in this 🤣🤣

I think it was around series 11. Ringo star only did the first 2 series which I always find incredible as he is the voice for me. I have heard that Peter Andre is the current voice!

The next narrator after Ringo was Michael Angelis also for Liverpool and then Mark Moraghan also of Liverpool and formerly of Holby City TV programme.

Thanks guys, need to work out the episode order so we can watch the entire 30 years worth in sequence now haha! I wish ringo would do a guest narration for old time's sake!

Channel 5 catch up thingy online have English accent ones but not in any specific order! I too went hunting when ds was really into it last year.

I think that the ones on YouTube are probably the American dubbed versions rather than the British ones.

Thanks OP, I now have the original TTTE theme tune in my head Grin

Pierce Brosnan was also one of the narrators.

Do you have prime video? That's where we watch Thomas. Give the new ones a try - it's good!
