Thomas the Tank Engine

DS has discovered this and is enjoying this on Netflix.

I can't stand the American accent on Thomas though although I am probably BU. Nothing against the accent but it seems odd on Thomas.

Does anyone know if there is a brit version somewhere?

Thanks @TeenPlusTwenties
😂 will be singing it all day 😂

eyesbiggerthanstomach · 15/06/2020 08:56

@TeenPlusTwenties it's sadly not even that song! It's some jazzed up pop song about travelling the world.

They have the English version on the Channel 5 on demand channel.

HappyDinosaur · 15/06/2020 09:01

They mix up the songs, there's the 2,4,6,8 one and the adventure one too. I haven't come across a Brit specific version yet.

You can probably get DVDs of the priggish wee clipe on music magpie and similar.

Didn't Ringo Starr voice it too?

@eyesbiggerthanstomach If you click on the Audio and Subtitles section before the show comes on you get the option to change the audio to British English.

Channel 5 every morning has an episode of uk Thomas and if you have sky the channel has it on multiple times a day. If you have Netflix there’s Thomas movies.

Cartoonio* channel

HAB86 · 15/06/2020 09:43

As a Pp has already mentioned you can change the accent back to British, nice easy fix :)

eyesbiggerthanstomach · 15/06/2020 09:46

Great thanks for all your suggestions.

I will wean him on to the Channel 5 one and if that doesn't work I will change the settings to British English.

Thanks all.

They are all on YouTube

ForeverHomeSearcher · 15/06/2020 11:57

YouTube is your friend if you want to watch the original versions. It's in a playlist so runs straight on to the next episode!

MrsMoastyToasty · 15/06/2020 12:00

There's episodes narrated by Michael Angelis and Pierce Brosnan which are more bearable.

WoollyMammouth · 15/06/2020 12:00

Thomas Big World Adventures, it’s the new thing so they can introduce more trains which your children can nag at you to buy forever and ever and ever (I have a Thomas obsessed child).

My girls loved Thomas so much but they are teenagers now and I miss him! Edward is my favourite 💘😳
