Thomas & Gordon

[TheFg1980]

Really satisfied by the narraration of Ringo Starr.

[JesusBlack14]

The old are better.HIT entertament made it into a pece of CRAP

[6709ify]

@JesusBlack14 Uuhh, I disagree. I like all of the episodes, including the new 3D ones. Some new things are still good.

[KgirlHasTheWits]

@MrProfessor14 It's not the same show...I keep telling myself for the sake of my childhood that the C.G.I bullshit is NOT the same show. lol

[littleblueengine]

Gordon's theme gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. So does Thomas'.

[MrComedy01]

I think James was doubling for Eagle until Thomas and the Breakdown train 

[Alexmo555]

We couldn't have had a better start to the series than this.

[ggamer2004]

Henry gets seen before Gordon, though no one really cares about him.

[samirhys]

Sad :( They never show the classic episodes anymore.

[ninjakio930]

FUCK CGI! BRING BACK THE MODELS!!!

[minicolster]

R.I.P the real thomas the tank engine that we all loved in the 80's/90's

[nshiell]

3:38 Why don't all railway turntables make that noise?

[DagothUrMadGod]

3:11 GEEN GEZICHT

[chenjunyang]

when thomas is in the shed not waking up, his face looks well weird! :S

[leothelion19]

this was the golden age of thomas *sigh*

[SonicObsessed191]

I used to love Thomas before I become obsessed with Sonic. But IMO, the show died after the 6th season.

[fingustis]

Badass!!

[williamnakama]

searched it up O wait i saw it when i was 3 xD

[worldwarturvy]

OMG brings back so many memories!!!



[scarflash]

man.. i remember when i was a kid id watch this for hours... the new ones are so garbage compared to the good old classics, so much memories..

[oldwarrior575]

This episode there are two mistakes:

0:31, Henry was pulling the coaches but he shouldn't suppose to pull the vans.

2:52, you could see Thomas wasn't coupled to the coaches.

[atomictrain513]

@oldwarrior575

Actually Henry can pull coaches too. He usually doesn't in the new series, though, but he did in the original series. He also pulls freight trains, not just vans.

The shot was supposed to show Thomas' face, which would be too hard to do with the coaches couples.

[XMETALGEARS59X]

@atomictrain513 the newer ones kinda suck :\

[MeGaMiXeR72]

@oldwarrior575

So there is a few mistakes, Who cares?

Stop complaining

Its a great episode 

[woodss82]

I watched this in the 80s, it was so enjoyable both then and now :)

[cramsmada1]

1:18 Watch carefully at Gordon

[MrGikesmanners]

I like ringo starr better hes a good voices on the other characters from series 1 and series 2. I like michael angelis hes alright really he looks like a new voices from series 3 series 4 series 5 series 6 series 7 series 8 series 9 series 10 series 11 series 12 and series 13 (with new voices) michael angelis took over ringo sence in series 3 cause ringo doesnt want to be a narrator anymore so michael angelis will be a narrator.

[DykeeniesMan123]

Win :)

[gnc623]

Aw, this brings back such great memories! These TTTE shows are the best. They had accidents, action, and actually fair vocabulary. Nowadays, Thomas has been officially ruined! The stories lines are stupid, the narrator speaks so slowly and uses "baby" words. And WHAT is this CGI crap?! I was outraged! New technology is good, but some things don't need changed, with their moving faces and whatnot. The charm of this show has been wiped out.

[stingrayfan2007]

At 3:11 is Thomas's face missing or not?

[Tomfunkforever]

@stingrayfan2007 it is missing its all black

[LegoLandVide0s]

@Tomfunkforever No, look closer, it's the shadow of the coach in front.

[todalyweirdgirl]

Thomas has short stumpy everything basicly

[thelnerv2]

lol when crossing the viaduct thoms has no face

[ChansomePro]

Classic Thomas RULES!

[vamperz09]

this is the episode that started the best era of thomas untill the newer series no where as good as these episodes

[JonateersModelling]

3:11 - Thomas has no face. XD

[kingwellytop]

why is james there? this isnt the episode he comes in!! D<

[mmbw4]

a the part where thomas is out of breath he's not connected to the train

[Steviebond2]

Ahhhh... the very first episode...back when it was all new in 1984, back when I had a few videos in the early 90's

What a way to go back to the childhood favourite :D

[yamihoole]

Oh boy does this bring back memories! I loved these and I loved Ringo's narration!

[JD41796]

When Henry leaves Knapford his brake coach is backwards and in the front. A van and a brakevan have also joined his train.

* Where Henry and James run past a strange grey object is over the church.

* In one scene there is a set of points leading from the track outside Platform 5 to the track outside Platform 4. In the next scene, it disappears.

* When Gordon comes out of Henry's Tunnel the track bounces up and down.

[rjconnolly64]

@JD41796 The van in Henry's train is for luggage. The brakevan is there in case Henry's train is uncoupled so it can stop the train. That's what brakevans are for.

[gnc623]

something I thought, I'd never see. They're lips and faces actually move like a real person's and so do the people. I know they think they're trying to advance it technologically, but IT IS NOT NECESSARY! Some things are fine just as they are. They have uttely ruined the charm and style of the show. And the language they use: From the old seasons, I learned what sagacity and deputation mean. Now mind...sagacity was on my vocab list in 9th grade if that says anything...you used to learn from it.

[gogosimonadebisi]

Ringo only did first two series sadly

[TeaCub]

It's a shame, really. He did so nicely; it's not to say Michael Angelis isn't good as well, but Ringo was just unique in his own way.

[stingrayfan2007]

this espiode has 2 b one fo the best,I love Thomas's faces

[ShyPup13579]

Who narrates this is it Michael Angelis or Ringo Starr? xx

[Apollo580]

@ShyPup13579 Ringo Starr. This was the first episode of Thomas the Tank Engine.

[ripcurlripper]

tv series though, the first one in the book was about henry and the tunnel with edward and gordon

[SuperDooperVideoBoy]

Ringo: Thomas is a tank engine, who lives at the big station on the Island of Sodor.

That's how it all began.

[stingrayfan2007]

@SuperDooperVideoBoy Yep ,it really is a fab start 2 the series.

It is one of my top epiodes!

[SteBrazier2K9]

Ringo!

[SuperMarioNJ]

IS THIS TEHE FIRST THOMAS EPISOD

[SodorProductions]

yes

[HenryFan39]

i loved season 1 and 2

anyway, i haven't seen this movie when

i was a baby!!

[Alexmo555]

To paraphase Weird Al Yankovic, "The Saga Begins!"

[Brendanvio]

Good trivia question: What is the first engine apart from Thomas to appear in the Thomas and Friends series?

Henry!

[izasmarty101]

Nope in the book series Edward actually appeared before thomas

[lucaslikesthomas]

Did he?

[papworthw]

wt happened to this place after season 3 ?

2:30

and 3:23

please answer

[UnluckyTug06]

3:23 is Wellsworth Station. It's been since throughout Seasons 1-7, and made quite a few appearances in the New Series. in 'Edward the Great', the Duke and Duchess stop here to get refreshments.

[stingrayfan2007]

Maybe they didn't want 2 use it in that season,

I love the turntable music used at Wellsworth at 3:40 as Thomas is turned round.

Alos a very convincing face as he puffs off the turntable

[supertedtv]

4:15.

[amtraklover]

now these are the Thomas episodes I grew up with, not that CGI stuff

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

lo gordan and henry are the same size XD

Gordan = very Strong and talks big

Henry = Relatively strong and talks big and does big! hes mentally stronger ;D so henry wins!

[SalukAntiwii]

I think it is strange that Thomas called Gordon "lazy bones." Since when did steam engines have bones?

[MrLegoMaster1000]

good point

[LeonSKennedy828]

It's just a phrase dude, lol.

[leothelion19]

* replaces meanmanmartin2007* i think its awsome

[stingrayfan2007]

A truely good start to fnatastci series, meanmanmartin2007, what do u think?

[MrBonez777]

did u know its Ringo Starr, the drummer of the Beatles whos narrating this episode?

[etenks1]

PLEEASE tell me you were being sarcastic. EVRYBODY FUCKING KNOWS THAT.

[dancingzita]

I always use to find the ending to this episode sad

[trainfan386]

goofs

henry leaves with the brake coach at the front and backwards. Also a van and a brake van has joined his train, 0:32

[andrexiostudios]

This is where 0:32 could not be a goof: Unseen footage of Thomas collecting the cars. Mail cars have been known to be attached to trains, the brakevan though, IDK.

[BladeLight52]

I remember this when I was 4. This sure beats the crap out of the shows that are made today.

[stingrayfan2007]

@BladeLight52 Yeah 2days r rrubbish

[lilley6565]

evil gordon lol

[Lifty4ever]

he coupuled to them. he was in platform 4.

[andrexiostudios]

Why does Henry at the beginning have no coaches and then they suddenly appear in the next scene?

[1992juan]

thats true

[tahthing]

i love the tune which starts at 00:17

[spittingimage4005]

Your addicted!

[barneydung1]

lol 2:54 thomas not attached to coaches XD

[juzmeister09]

I also notice at 1:40 that there are no coaches, You're quite right.

[dmetrs]

notice at 1:40 where there are no coaches, but when Thomas puffs up, they magically appear

[StFidjnr]

what's the episode that one of the trains starts early causing a confusion.

[dmetrs]

wrong road i think

what characters are in it?

[10Turismo50]

i wish they would stop changing the windows on the coaches every minute

[olympus200]

is it me or thomas that looks like a chinaman?

(1:31)

[MrLegoMaster1000]

racist

[Disneylover89]

This is the best quality I've seen so far, with no fuzz at all.

[igotbragginrites]

the first shot of the first episode and ALREADY there's a blooper!!

notice that Thomas' face moves when he rolls his eyes

[tahthing]

i think they stop motion his face

[bmcj199]

no it's controlled

[SPThug2007]

Thanks very much.
