@imagreatbigman the bloke who wrote it died and all his scripts for the second series were being held by a company who went bankrupt. its a big shame.
britt alcroff before she quit thomas the tank engine she tried to get tugs aired in the us since britian had already seen it and she really wanted to actually continue the seriesso did mittion who was the creator of tugs but the people who owned the show that aired ttte wouldn't let them
Damn, it so sad that this GREAT series had to come to an end so quickly. But then again, maybe it was all for the best. Had TUGS not been canceled, then it would've ended up like Thomas in recent years, having been eventually sold off to HiT Entertainment, being loaded up with TERRIBLE storylines, and worse yet... SEE-GEE-EYE!
@tyneandwearguy1 The series is set about a decade after the Titanic, and cruise liners tend to have long service lives, so similar-looking ships would almost certainly be around. Further, they based the designs on real boats, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they did copy the Titanic, or a sister ship, for the design of one of the liners.
@RailwayFalcon This is really really geeky but I read somewhere (Wikipedia) Vienna was based on the Cunard ship RMS Mauretania built just before White Stars Olympic class (Olympic, Titanic & Britannic). The other liners were The Duchess (seemingly based on SS Imperator) and Princess Alice (seemingly based on an actual SS Princess Alice). Check them out, it seems to be accurate.
@jackloobyloo titanic was never in this series. This took place in the 1920s not 1912. if u r talking about the RMS Olympic (the Titanic's sister than they can pull the olympic into port
Startug - Is there anyway of getting hold of these? I had the VHS's as a kid, and now regret getting rid of them! ! Thanks for uploading. P.S Do you know the episode with the train crash at the end?
has to be mate!! I'm that sad that I have realplayer download manager on my laptop..so I downloaded the vids off here and still watch em when im bored lol
@MadJackManiac Are you kidding? This is the best episode. The storyline is perfect. Name one fault and I'll back it up. The most ridiculous storyline is Trapped, but even so was pretty good.
thomas would kick the S*** out of lil ten cents, if you count it as an equal fight thomas would be 15?, ten cents is like a tiny kid, percy and ten cents would be more even, or henry and herculese.....i think too much
thomas-ten cents, percy-sunshine but herculees is like henry (gordens stuck up rmemeber), top hat is like james (very proud for little reason),diesel and zorran (or "the diesel"), OJ is edward lol, lily is like noone on thomas (too seductive), big mack as duck???hmm maybe, btw i love zak because i think hes good inside, reminds me of spike from dads army:D, if he wer good he and lily would be a good match they both have 50's gangster caboret style:D
@taiyo888 brings back so many childhood memories...another thing, why the fuck have Postman Pat, Noddy, Thomas The tank Engine e.t.c been animated. What was wrong with the good old model set that took skill and passion to make?
i dont care if hit bring this back in CGI becuase i think the CGI thomas is realy good

@dinocoking Ewan wouldn't have been a good choice, plus he would have only been 17 when TUGS was first broadcasted.
I think Patrick Allen was the perfect narrator, just like RIngo Starr was for Thomas.

then chirstopher lee then?
dinocoking 2 years ago
Christopher Lee is actually a good narrator, I heard him narrate a saga for the metal band: Rhapsody of Fire.
I don't think his voice would have suited Captain Star, Patrick Stewart's voice would suit Captain Star.
But as I already said, Patrick Allen was good as Captain Star.
