When Hector the Horrid would come on PBS, I always enjoyed it, and as an adult, realizing how mucked Thomas’s character is during the HIT era, I love it even more, truly a gem. Thomas feels like an actual adult in it, and even adult Thomas has his breaking point, it’s not sugar coated as to how pissed Thomas is, he’s at the end of his fuse. But when he realizes that he caused Hector to derail, he immediately switches his tone, to being gentle. A genuinely great episode that I don’t see many talk about
Hector’s inclusion in the thumbnail is making me do a double take. Also, IDC what anyone says, Michael Brandon carried as Hector. Especially when Hector was yelling in Hector the Horrid
I think Hector is the standout among the new additions during the HiT Era. For one, he’s a truck, not an engine. But he also has a conclusive character arc. Like, you watch Molly or Dennis’s episodes, and even though they technically have character traits, you kinda wish they’d star in another episode or two to completely flesh them out. Hector however has a character arc that completes in a single episode. It’s short yes, but he at least has one. It would’ve been nice if we saw more of him, but I think he was treated better than the likes of Neville or Madge. Absolute gem of a character.
Very nice list! Here's mine: 10. Break Van and The Deputation (TIED) 9. Thomas & Gordon 8. The Flying Kipper 7. All at Sea 6. Old Iron 5. Tit for Tat 4. Duncan's Bluff 3. Toby & the Flood 2. Granpuff and Sleeping Beauty (TIED) 1. A Better View for Gordon
I don't blame you for tying the Arlesdale trilogy from Season 20. They're all equally great (although Useful Railway is the weakest of the three for how it "softens" Rex's crash)

I have a Top 10 favorite Thomas episode list of my own. #10. "Edward and Gordon" (aka, the episode that got me into Thomas thanks to the first Thomas DVD I had since I was about 2). #9. "Henry Gets the Express". #8. "Thomas and the Jet Engine". #7. "Heart of Gold". #6. "All in Vain". #5. "Happy Birthday, Sir!" #4. "Thomas and the Royal Engine". #3. "A Better View for Gordon" (you were expecting this one to be number four, higher, or lower; well you thought wrong). #2. "The Gallant Old Engine". and #1. "Thomas and the Special Letter".
The Duke episodes are my absolute favourites. I'm lucky enough to have a season 4 DVD as a kid, had many happy memories watching the narrow gauge episodes by my grandma. Considering the other Thomas DVDs I had was Sharon Miller or HIT stuff it's no wonder why. 😊
6:23 you should’ve used neville as an example because molly at least had some personality and screen time while neville only had five lines in the whole franchise.
Mine are as Follows: 10. Edward & Gordon. 9. Better Late than Never. 8. Percy & Harold. 7. Home at Last. 6. Breakvan. 5. Thomas's Christmas Party. 4. Sleeping Beauty. 3. Old Iron. 2. The Flying Kipper. 1. Edward's Exploit.
I don’t have a top 10 exactly, but All at Sea is my favorite. I used to watch this episode a lot with my brother when we were babysat by our grandparents. My papa used to watch it with us and when he passed a couple of years ago, I haven’t been able to watch it without being reminded of how important he was in my life
What a Great List Here s My List 10. A Close Shave For Duck 9 . Escape 8 . Toad Stands By 7 . Edward The Very Useful Engine 6 . Donald s Duck 5 . Emily s New Coaches 4 . Something Fishly 3 . Twin Trouble 2 . Thomas And The Missing Christmas Tree 1 . Gordon Takes a Tumble

God, I’ve done my favorite episodes before but by now some of my opinions have totally changed. I can’t even come up with a Top 10 right off the top of my head because there’s so many to choose from. That’s a list I’m going to have to redo in the future. But I agree with all of your choices, really solid episodes
Personal List: 1. Put Upon Percy (shows Percy's more mature side and has probably the most tense sequence of the whole series for me) 2. A Close Shave (probably the best runaway of the whole series for me) 3. The Flying Kipper (beautiful visuals with equally beautiful track) 4. Busy Going Backwards (only Toad centered episode and william tell overature is peak) 5. Something in the Air (great nightime visuals with amazing buildup to crash) 6. Breakvan (introduces my two favorite characters of the series and has two solid crashes) 7. Old Iron (great underdog narrative with solid runaway) 8. Horrid Lorry (probably the best one-off antagonists of the whole show) 9. Dirty Objects (Good crash and satisfying to see toby stand up for himself) 10. Trust Thomas (shows Thomas at his most likable)
My Top 10 favourite Episodes ( They will change in The future) 10. Percy, James and the fruitfully day 9. Grandpuff 8. Sleeping beauty 7. Thomas and the jet engine 6. Old Iron 5. James work it out 4. Useful Railway 3. A better view for Gordon 2. James goes Buzz Buzz 1. Thomas and Bertie’s great race
Really cool to see Happy Ever After get some love. In a season with that many bangers it gets overlooked a lot. And while it's honestly toward the bottom of S5 for me, it's still cool to see it get some respect.
Not a bad list!👍 10. Thomas' Trusty Friends/Another Fine Mess 9. Pop Goes the Diesel, Dirty Work and A Close Shave (Triple tied) 8. Rosie is Red 7. It's Good to be Gordon 6.

Love your channel mate! I'm 37 years old and just getting back into Thomas... is that weird?!? I was rummaging through my attic and happened to find my ERTL collection and it reminded me of how much I love this franchise! I only saw the first season as a child because that's all I had on VHS, but I am so happy because now I get to watch all the other seasons! Being a fan of the classics would you just buy DVD's up to season 5 or do you think I should extend that to include 6&7? Keep up the good work mate!

Gordon takes a tumble Something fishy Duncan’s bluff
I think this list is good. While, I haven't watched all of the HiT Era, because life, I have been watching the franchise in some capacity in 34 years of life. With that said, here is my list. 10: Old Reliable Edward from Series 18. Most of the Brennaissance episodes are... *chefs kiss* ...brilliant. Especially in the UK dub. (Funny that I, a North American prefers the UK dub of the TV series.) 9: Percy's Promise from Series 3. While personally, I'd have preferred it being in Series 2, but, I understand why. This episode shows just how brave Percy can be, despite a flood and water threatening to put out his fire. 8: Horrid Lorries from Series 5. I have always loved the idea of rail vs road competition. This reminds me of what happens in real life when rail companies compete against road freight carriers. And of course, Thomas's line about the lorries at the end always cracks me up, because at times, Thomas can be a savage roaster, and I love it! His roasting reminds me of Lamar's roasting from GTA V in that it's savage, yet laughable. 7: Escape from Series 3. What more can I say that hasn't been said by the rest of the fandom? 6: The Flying Kipper from Series 1. Much like Number 7, what more can I say that hasn't already been said? 5 & 4: Granpuff and Sleeping Beauty from Series 4. I always found those two equally great, and make you feel sad and later optimistic about Duke. Still makes me wish we saw more of him. Ah well, at least we have the fandom making tons of stories involving him. 3: Henry's Forest from Series 3. God, that episode is one of the few episodes in the TV series that genuinely brings a tear to my eye, even at 34 years young. It's a great story about Henry and shows his gentle side and how nature can sometimes be destructive, yet, will bounce back again. 2: Edward's Exploit from Series 2. My god, this episode. You gotta feel for Edward as he valiantly makes it back to the station with enthusiasts despite being damaged. Admittedly, the story in the Railway Series does the damage better, and I can understand why they didn't for the model. But, it still works as an adaptation and honestly going forward, I wish they had kept this as continuity that Gordon and James respect Edward showing that despite age, he can be an iron fist when push comes to shove. 1: Rusty and the Boulder from Series 5. Yes, I know it's not fully realistic, but, I've always gotten a Thomas meets Indiana Jones vibe about most of the episode, and the line The Fat Controller gives about leaving part of the island alone is so true. In some areas, where nature can be unstable, rather than mess with it, you just leave it be. Some places shouldn't be disturbed by man. Rather, just left to its own devices.
Personally, I love Thomas & Friends so much that I can't name just 10 episodes, so I will name my some of my favorite episodes from each season: Season 1: The Flying Kipper Down the Mine Season 2: A Close Shave Ghost Train Season 3: All at Sea Escape Season 4: Special Funnel Paint Pots and Queens Season 5: Toby and the Flood Duncan Gets Spooked Season 6: Scaredy Engines Thomas the Jet Engine Season 7: James and the Queen of Sodor Gordon and Spencer Jack and the Pack: Who's the Boss (On Site with Thomas) Another Fine Mess (Thomas’ Trusty Friends) Season 8: Squeak, Rattle and Roll Halloween Season 9: Respect For Gordon Thomas and the Statue Season 10: It’s Good to Be Gordon Duncan's Bluff Season 11: Hector the Horrid Gordon and the Engineer Season 12: Excellent Emily James Works It Out Season 13: Creaky Cranky Snow Tracks Season 14: Being Percy Season 15: Edward the Hero Season 16: Bust My Buffers! Season 17: Wayward Winston Henry's Hero Season 18: Not So Slow Coaches Last Train for Christmas Season 19: Goodbye Fat Controller Season 20: Letters to Santa Season 21: P.A. Problems Confused Coaches Season 22: Hunt the Truck Season 23: Free the Roads Season 24: Kenji on the Rails Again Thomas and the Royal Engine
''A symbol of hope''. . .that's actually a pretty good way to describe the show. For me personally it's carried me through some rough times and I can't imagine my life without it. Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends is truly one of a kind; dare I say a magical experience. There's nothing quite like it. A gift of love.
My top favourites are: 10. Bowled Out 9. All At Sea 8. Oliver's Find 7. Something In The Air 6. A Better View For Gordon 5. Escape 4. Cranky Bugs 3. Stepney Gets Lost 2. Haunted Henry 1. Busy Going Backwards (Yes, the majority of my favourites are Series 5 episodes, but that's because I absolutely love that season)
@Kionsmyguy3 well the story's really well told, the resolution brings back Thomas' recklessness in such a genius way, and it ends with Thomas wearing a birthday hat! so funny 😁
Granpuff was the first episode I ever saw when I was 4 years old, so those episodes with Duke, and the Skarloey engines in general, will always mean something special to me👌👍👍 Duke is truly the John Wayne (nicknamed the Duke) of all the engines
I love Henry’s Forest and that argument about realism some are making is just crazy…if Awdry wanted real the engines would be dead after some of the crashes they suffer because no real engine would survive…they would most likely blow up on or from the impact Giving life to a character means bending the rules…cars planes boats and trains don’t sleep…only people and animals do…but in series like Thomas or Tugs and movies like Cars or Planes machines are given human qualities while maintaining their machine aspects…they talk and sleep and sometimes move freely but for the most part they don’t “act” like humans…Thomas and all the engines are still engines but giving them personalities means going deeper into their character which for Henry is a love of nature…no real trains wouldn’t care about a forest but they also wouldn’t care what train they pulled or what color they were painted or about being in the rain or snow…cars don’t care about races nor have mentors and best friends and love interests but Lightning from Cars does…and all the tugboats have their own set of personalities and quirks real boats don’t which is the point…these shows and movies are meant to be fun not real…they follow their own set of rules not the real world
My favorites are: 1 Donald’s duck 2 escape 3 old iron 4 mind that bike 5 break van 6 something in the air 7 horrid lorry 8 trust thomas 9 dirty objects 10 bulldog
Nice top 10. I have felina over ozy but that's just me. Btw s6 of BCS Is even Better than S5 so prepare yourself. Have you seen game of thrones? My fav thomas ep of all time is the Flying kipper btw
Wouldn’t it be cool if someone adapted horrid lorries as a top gear episode? Picture this. The trio state that this island off the coast of england uses outdated railway technology to move their goods and barely use the roads. So the producers gave them a budget to go out and buy a lorry and show the people of sodor that a lorry is better for doing the job. Here’s what happened… We see the episode play out from Top gear trios point of view, some fun witty banter some success at first, especially when taking over toby’s work, but clarkson was speeding through the gorge and crashed, Hammond was over confident on the flour run his lorry broke down, and as for May, well let’s just say he forgot to leave the hand brake on. the three of them show up just after thomas insulted the lorries, clarkson is dusty, has a bump on his head, hammond is as white as a ghost, and May covered in seaweed. and on that bombshell it is time for us to end so good night.
Off the top of my head, the flying kipper, wrong road, Thomas Percy and the post train, Edward the great, Edward’s exploit, escape and bulgy are all candidates for top 10, though I know for sure Rusty to the Rescue is number one.
Mine 10 is extremely controrversial but is only there because of that one crash 10. Cranky Bugs 9. Something in the air 8. Gordon takes a tumble 7. Forgot the episode name but its the episode where boco saves Gordon from bill and ben. 6. Granpuff/Sleeping Beauty 5. Haunted Henry 4. A better view for Gordon 3. Duncan gets spooked 1. The Flying Kipper Gordon and Henry episodes are extremely peak. (Theyre both my 2 favourite engines with James closely at 3rd.) Gordon and Henry have just always had perfect narration. The Henry/Gordon duo is arguably one of the best duos to exist.
7:20 if your wondering why it sounds like that from my opinion it sounds like they removed the windbreak on the microphone cause you can hear evert s, f, and p Angeles makes
Sean as a thomas fan you must know about GWR Studios if you dont he made thomas goof videos were found mistakes in the series 1 and 2 also the magic railroad . he trazended to the shadow relm and disapered. the point is it would be a great for you and you could finish what he started . if you see this check his channel out also great choice of ep :)
My Top 10 favorite Thomas And Friends episodes Thomas Saves The Day A New Friend For Thomas Percy’s Ghostly Trick Terrence the tractor All at Sea Thomas and Stephany Rusty and The Boulder Duncan Gets Spooked Haunted Henry Cranky Bugs Honorable Mentions Toby and the flood Put apon Percy Busy going backwards Sleeping Beauty Thomas meets the Queen
You've been making videos for NINE years and you never made something for your favourite episodes? SLACKER!!! Henry's Forest is a weird one for me. I remember when I was younger, my cousin had Trust Thomas on VHS, and I remember asking once if we could watch that when I'm over at his house, but because I suck, I describe the VHS tape as "That one that has that giant storm! That one was great!" It's not even my favourite episode on the tape, so goodness knows why that's the first one that came to mind. Maybe I'm just a sucker for destruction and misery... And even then, I didn't learn until much later about Awdry hating the episode... but hey ho, it's OK for Wilbert to have bad taste in entertainment 🤣

Thomas is a show that's like Spongebob to me, there are too many episodes for me to narrow down ten specific favorite episodes in a certain order. Also, cool to hear that you're a Monkey Ball fan.
My favourite episodes of Thomas and friends (even though I mostly like the RUclips series of Thomas wooden railway (no spaces), the wooden train toys in general, the original railway series books and the story library books of the characters, while mainly liking six other shows which are my little pony friendship is magic, the Big Bang theory, Max & Ruby (seasons 1 to 5 anyways), the Backyardigans, Veggietales (thirty-eight episodes counting two movies) and the penguins of Madagascar) are: Salty’s secret Harvey to the rescue No sleep for cranky The fogman A bad day for Harold Elizabeth the vintage quarry truck Gordon and the gremlin Trucks Make someone happy A big surprise for Percy Happy ever after Thomas and the rumours James and the trouble with trees Baa Toby’s discovery Rusty and the Boulder Duncan gets spooked Stepney gets lost Haunted Henry Sir Topham Hatt’s holiday Henry and the elephant (two times) You can’t win Special attraction Passengers and polish Gallant old engine Fish Cranky bugs Lady Hatt’s birthday party Double teething troubles Thomas Percy and old slow coach Busy going backwards A better view for Gordon Snow Thomas’ Christmas party Thomas and the missing Christmas tree Special funnel Toby and the flood Put upon Percy Horrid lorry Bye George Something in the air Oliver’s find Thomas and the special letter Home at last Rock n roll Steamroller Toad stands by Bowled out Thomas and Bertie’s great race Old iron The trouble with mud Terence the tractor Percy’s ghostly trick Mavis Percy’s promise (two times) James goes buzz buzz All at sea Thomas gets bumped A new friend for Thomas Thomas Percy and the dragon Thomas saves the day Trouble for Thomas Thomas and Stepney A big day for Thomas Thomas meets the queen Edward helps out Foolish freight cars Thomas Percy and the mail train Thomas break the rules Down the mine Trouble in the shed Donald and Douglas Saved from scrap Bertie’s chase (And) Thomas and Percy’s mountain adventure Due to keeping the us video and DVD releases (including watching the songs at the end, except for three on DVD), (the video only release) Thomas meets the queen (which would also count in the four episodes that were mainly on that video and two times the other two that are on two other releases), Salty’s secret (just on DVD), Thomas’ trackside tunes (just on DVD), make someone happy (just on DVD), spills and chills (just on DVD), gallant old engine/Henry and the elephant, cranky bugs, Thomas’ Christmas wonderland (just on DVD, I also just watch four of the episodes), races rescues and runaways (just on DVD), Thomas and the special letter (just on DVD), 10 years of Thomas, best of Thomas and Thomas and his friends help out.

Love all the Series 5 choices. Although I think you can hold the rushed ending of Post Train against it, I've seen eps in the 4 ‘n’ a half minutes time limit have far more satisfying endings and be well paced, I don't think that ep has an excuse. Though a lot of things to unpack with the Henry's Forest take. Firstly, no, it and Fishing aren't comparable. Thomas takes interest in it because he's watched the fisherman in action, Henry's interest comes out of nowhere. Also your choices for moments of 'lack of railway practice' are all odd because those were all based on real events. Percy Runs Away is based on an incident when the crew jumped out of their engine as an express approached and pulled the regulator to save their machine; Plunge happened because goods trains are hard to stop (not least with a tank engine) and the rails were slippery; and Off the Rails is based on a report of a LMS engine coming off a turntable. Allegedly with GNR A1s they also tended to move on turntables as they raised steam because the movement shifted their controls.
Here are my top 10 10.Tit for tat 9.lady hatts birthday party 8.the deputation 7.Thomas and the jet engine 6.over the hill 5.Gordon and Spencer 4.Escape 3.thomas Percy and the post train 2.the diseasel 1.Buzz buzz Honorable mentions being not so slow coaches , toad adventure Thomas and the missing Christmas tree Hector, the horrid
Don’t get me wrong, I love season 5, but my biggest problem with that season l is how underutilized Edward is in that season. Even as a kid I always felt sad that Edward didn’t have any starring episodes in season 5. I think the episodes Thomas, Percy And Old Slow Coach and Happy Ever After should’ve instead have been called Edward, Percy And Old Slow Coach and Edward’s Good Luck Package and have those 2 episodes be Edward’s starring episodes of season 5. Thomas also probably would’ve been swapped out with Percy in Edward’s Good Luck Package. I do firmly believe that if Percy was female instead of male (but still have her be named Percy and have her look and sound identical to her male counterpart in every single way) then this all would’ve been the case since Edward would’ve been the 5th boy instead of 6th.
Honestly, I don't like The End of Time that much. It feels like Russell T got WAY too full of himself and Tennant's hissy fit...just no As for the Thomas episodes, I think Hector the Horrid is a bit overrated, but definitely still one of the best series 11 episodes. And Thomas, Percy and the Post Train, it's not my *favourite* narrative wise, but oh man, the visuals. Post Train and Thomas and Stepney are the two episodes, for me, that I just love sitting there looking at
![Kodak Black - Sharp Vibes [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oEV0OoLJeIs/mqdefault.jpg)
When Hector the Horrid would come on PBS, I always enjoyed it, and as an adult, realizing how mucked Thomas’s character is during the HIT era, I love it even more, truly a gem. Thomas feels like an actual adult in it, and even adult Thomas has his breaking point, it’s not sugar coated as to how pissed Thomas is, he’s at the end of his fuse. But when he realizes that he caused Hector to derail, he immediately switches his tone, to being gentle. A genuinely great episode that I don’t see many talk about
Hector’s inclusion in the thumbnail is making me do a double take.
Also, IDC what anyone says, Michael Brandon carried as Hector. Especially when Hector was yelling in Hector the Horrid
Pity he didn’t mention how Michael Brandon had more energy with Hector’s yell than Angelis.
Wait, Hector was in more than one episode?
@@roadwarrior114 Yep. Hector had 2 appearances.
@@roadwarrior114There was another one where he and James were the protagonists
I think Hector is the standout among the new additions during the HiT Era. For one, he’s a truck, not an engine. But he also has a conclusive character arc. Like, you watch Molly or Dennis’s episodes, and even though they technically have character traits, you kinda wish they’d star in another episode or two to completely flesh them out. Hector however has a character arc that completes in a single episode. It’s short yes, but he at least has one. It would’ve been nice if we saw more of him, but I think he was treated better than the likes of Neville or Madge. Absolute gem of a character.

and #1. "Thomas and the Special Letter".
The Duke episodes are my absolute favourites. I'm lucky enough to have a season 4 DVD as a kid, had many happy memories watching the narrow gauge episodes by my grandma. Considering the other Thomas DVDs I had was Sharon Miller or HIT stuff it's no wonder why. 😊
Great top 10! I'm not sure what mine is but, my top 3 is
1) Granpuff
2) Escape
3) The Flying Kipper
6:23 you should’ve used neville as an example because molly at least had some personality and screen time while neville only had five lines in the whole franchise.
Mine are as Follows:
10. Edward & Gordon.
9. Better Late than Never.
8. Percy & Harold.
7. Home at Last.
6. Breakvan.
5. Thomas's Christmas Party.
4. Sleeping Beauty.
3. Old Iron.
2. The Flying Kipper.
1. Edward's Exploit.
I don’t have a top 10 exactly, but All at Sea is my favorite. I used to watch this episode a lot with my brother when we were babysat by our grandparents. My papa used to watch it with us and when he passed a couple of years ago, I haven’t been able to watch it without being reminded of how important he was in my life

God, I’ve done my favorite episodes before but by now some of my opinions have totally changed. I can’t even come up with a Top 10 right off the top of my head because there’s so many to choose from. That’s a list I’m going to have to redo in the future. But I agree with all of your choices, really solid episodes
Personal List:
1. Put Upon Percy (shows Percy's more mature side and has probably the most tense sequence of the whole series for me)
2. A Close Shave (probably the best runaway of the whole series for me)
3. The Flying Kipper (beautiful visuals with equally beautiful track)
4. Busy Going Backwards (only Toad centered episode and william tell overature is peak)
5. Something in the Air (great nightime visuals with amazing buildup to crash)
6. Breakvan (introduces my two favorite characters of the series and has two solid crashes)
7. Old Iron (great underdog narrative with solid runaway)
8. Horrid Lorry (probably the best one-off antagonists of the whole show)
9. Dirty Objects (Good crash and satisfying to see toby stand up for himself)
10. Trust Thomas (shows Thomas at his most likable)
My Top 10 favourite Episodes ( They will change in The future)
10. Percy, James and the fruitfully day
9. Grandpuff
8. Sleeping beauty
7. Thomas and the jet engine
6. Old Iron
5. James work it out
4. Useful Railway
3. A better view for Gordon
2. James goes Buzz Buzz
1. Thomas and Bertie’s great race
Really cool to see Happy Ever After get some love. In a season with that many bangers it gets overlooked a lot. And while it's honestly toward the bottom of S5 for me, it's still cool to see it get some respect.

Love your channel mate! I'm 37 years old and just getting back into Thomas... is that weird?!? I was rummaging through my attic and happened to find my ERTL collection and it reminded me of how much I love this franchise! I only saw the first season as a child because that's all I had on VHS, but I am so happy because now I get to watch all the other seasons! Being a fan of the classics would you just buy DVD's up to season 5 or do you think I should extend that to include 6&7? Keep up the good work mate!

I absolutely agree with every episode on this list. Most of these I've rewatched in the past month and are 100% some of Thomas' best!
I think this list is good. While, I haven't watched all of the HiT Era, because life, I have been watching the franchise in some capacity in 34 years of life. With that said, here is my list.
10: Old Reliable Edward from Series 18. Most of the Brennaissance episodes are... *chefs kiss* ...brilliant. Especially in the UK dub. (Funny that I, a North American prefers the UK dub of the TV series.)
9: Percy's Promise from Series 3. While personally, I'd have preferred it being in Series 2, but, I understand why. This episode shows just how brave Percy can be, despite a flood and water threatening to put out his fire.
8: Horrid Lorries from Series 5. I have always loved the idea of rail vs road competition. This reminds me of what happens in real life when rail companies compete against road freight carriers. And of course, Thomas's line about the lorries at the end always cracks me up, because at times, Thomas can be a savage roaster, and I love it! His roasting reminds me of Lamar's roasting from GTA V in that it's savage, yet laughable.
7: Escape from Series 3. What more can I say that hasn't been said by the rest of the fandom?
6: The Flying Kipper from Series 1. Much like Number 7, what more can I say that hasn't already been said?
5 & 4: Granpuff and Sleeping Beauty from Series 4. I always found those two equally great, and make you feel sad and later optimistic about Duke. Still makes me wish we saw more of him. Ah well, at least we have the fandom making tons of stories involving him.
3: Henry's Forest from Series 3. God, that episode is one of the few episodes in the TV series that genuinely brings a tear to my eye, even at 34 years young. It's a great story about Henry and shows his gentle side and how nature can sometimes be destructive, yet, will bounce back again.
2: Edward's Exploit from Series 2. My god, this episode. You gotta feel for Edward as he valiantly makes it back to the station with enthusiasts despite being damaged. Admittedly, the story in the Railway Series does the damage better, and I can understand why they didn't for the model. But, it still works as an adaptation and honestly going forward, I wish they had kept this as continuity that Gordon and James respect Edward showing that despite age, he can be an iron fist when push comes to shove.
1: Rusty and the Boulder from Series 5. Yes, I know it's not fully realistic, but, I've always gotten a Thomas meets Indiana Jones vibe about most of the episode, and the line The Fat Controller gives about leaving part of the island alone is so true. In some areas, where nature can be unstable, rather than mess with it, you just leave it be. Some places shouldn't be disturbed by man. Rather, just left to its own devices.
3:05-3:18 Has always been one of my favorite moments from Brandon’s narration.
I’m glad to see someone appreciate A Friend in Need as much as I do!
Henry’s forest in first place is completely deserved! Love that episode too

Thomas and the Royal Engine
''A symbol of hope''. . .that's actually a pretty good way to describe the show. For me personally it's carried me through some rough times and I can't imagine my life without it. Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends is truly one of a kind; dare I say a magical experience.
There's nothing quite like it. A gift of love.
My top favourites are:
10. Bowled Out
9. All At Sea
8. Oliver's Find
7. Something In The Air
6. A Better View For Gordon
5. Escape
4. Cranky Bugs
3. Stepney Gets Lost
2. Haunted Henry
1. Busy Going Backwards
(Yes, the majority of my favourites are Series 5 episodes, but that's because I absolutely love that season)
I don’t blame you, Season 5 is undeniably one of the best the show had to offer.
We're all debating on the top 10 episodes of Thomas and not realizing the best is clearly Thomas' milkshake muddle
Explain please I'm genuinely curious
@Kionsmyguy3 well the story's really well told, the resolution brings back Thomas' recklessness in such a genius way, and it ends with Thomas wearing a birthday hat! so funny 😁
Who wants to tell him that hector the horrid starts in the yard, it’s not just in the coaling plant
1:14 WHAT?! I feel like I’ve never heard this before! I need to watch the US dub of that episode now lol
Granpuff was the first episode I ever saw when I was 4 years old, so those episodes with Duke, and the Skarloey engines in general, will always mean something special to me👌👍👍 Duke is truly the John Wayne (nicknamed the Duke) of all the engines
I can't choose top 10, but my favourite is Escape.
I love Henry’s Forest and that argument about realism some are making is just crazy…if Awdry wanted real the engines would be dead after some of the crashes they suffer because no real engine would survive…they would most likely blow up on or from the impact
Giving life to a character means bending the rules…cars planes boats and trains don’t sleep…only people and animals do…but in series like Thomas or Tugs and movies like Cars or Planes machines are given human qualities while maintaining their machine aspects…they talk and sleep and sometimes move freely but for the most part they don’t “act” like humans…Thomas and all the engines are still engines but giving them personalities means going deeper into their character which for Henry is a love of nature…no real trains wouldn’t care about a forest but they also wouldn’t care what train they pulled or what color they were painted or about being in the rain or snow…cars don’t care about races nor have mentors and best friends and love interests but Lightning from Cars does…and all the tugboats have their own set of personalities and quirks real boats don’t which is the point…these shows and movies are meant to be fun not real…they follow their own set of rules not the real world
My favorites are:
1 Donald’s duck
2 escape
3 old iron
4 mind that bike
5 break van
6 something in the air
7 horrid lorry
8 trust thomas
9 dirty objects
10 bulldog
THANK YOU SEAN! AMAZING VIDEO
sleeping beauty: finishing dukes story
duck and toby: god we are away from the shed for 1 day and we miss the rest of the story how HOW
Nice top 10. I have felina over ozy but that's just me. Btw s6 of BCS Is even Better than S5 so prepare yourself. Have you seen game of thrones?
My fav thomas ep of all time is the Flying kipper btw
Wouldn’t it be cool if someone adapted horrid lorries as a top gear episode? Picture this.
The trio state that this island off the coast of england uses outdated railway technology to move their goods and barely use the roads. So the producers gave them a budget to go out and buy a lorry and show the people of sodor that a lorry is better for doing the job. Here’s what happened…
We see the episode play out from Top gear trios point of view, some fun witty banter some success at first, especially when taking over toby’s work, but clarkson was speeding through the gorge and crashed, Hammond was over confident on the flour run his lorry broke down, and as for May, well let’s just say he forgot to leave the hand brake on. the three of them show up just after thomas insulted the lorries, clarkson is dusty, has a bump on his head, hammond is as white as a ghost, and May covered in seaweed.
and on that bombshell it is time for us to end so good night.
"HAMMOND YOU IDIOT YOU REVERSED INTO THE SPORTS LORRY!" shouted Gordon. James couldn't help but laugh, and neither could Mr. May.
Interesting
I’m excited for this video
Off the top of my head, the flying kipper, wrong road, Thomas Percy and the post train, Edward the great, Edward’s exploit, escape and bulgy are all candidates for top 10, though I know for sure Rusty to the Rescue is number one.
Thomas and Percy and the post train one of my favourite episodes👍😊😎
Mine
10 is extremely controrversial but is only there because of that one crash
10. Cranky Bugs
9. Something in the air
8. Gordon takes a tumble
7. Forgot the episode name but its the episode where boco saves Gordon from bill and ben.
6. Granpuff/Sleeping Beauty
5. Haunted Henry
4. A better view for Gordon
3. Duncan gets spooked
1. The Flying Kipper
Gordon and Henry episodes are extremely peak. (Theyre both my 2 favourite engines with James closely at 3rd.) Gordon and Henry have just always had perfect narration.
The Henry/Gordon duo is arguably one of the best duos to exist.
7:20 if your wondering why it sounds like that from my opinion it sounds like they removed the windbreak on the microphone cause you can hear evert s, f, and p Angeles makes
Sean as a thomas fan you must know about GWR Studios if you dont he made thomas goof videos were found mistakes in the series 1 and 2 also the magic railroad . he trazended to the shadow relm and disapered. the point is it would be a great for you and you could finish what he started . if you see this check his channel out also great choice of ep :)

You've been making videos for NINE years and you never made something for your favourite episodes? SLACKER!!!
Henry's Forest is a weird one for me. I remember when I was younger, my cousin had Trust Thomas on VHS, and I remember asking once if we could watch that when I'm over at his house, but because I suck, I describe the VHS tape as "That one that has that giant storm! That one was great!"
It's not even my favourite episode on the tape, so goodness knows why that's the first one that came to mind. Maybe I'm just a sucker for destruction and misery... And even then, I didn't learn until much later about Awdry hating the episode... but hey ho, it's OK for Wilbert to have bad taste in entertainment 🤣
The music in Henry’s Forest I adore so much I have played it on my walks down the woods.

No just something funny I thought of. What episode on my list is your favorite.
Thomas is a show that's like Spongebob to me, there are too many episodes for me to narrow down ten specific favorite episodes in a certain order.
Also, cool to hear that you're a Monkey Ball fan.
My favourite episodes of Thomas and friends (even though I mostly like the RUclips series of Thomas wooden railway (no spaces), the wooden train toys in general, the original railway series books and the story library books of the characters, while mainly liking six other shows which are my little pony friendship is magic, the Big Bang theory, Max & Ruby (seasons 1 to 5 anyways), the Backyardigans, Veggietales (thirty-eight episodes counting two movies) and the penguins of Madagascar) are:

Love all the Series 5 choices. Although I think you can hold the rushed ending of Post Train against it, I've seen eps in the 4 ‘n’ a half minutes time limit have far more satisfying endings and be well paced, I don't think that ep has an excuse.
Though a lot of things to unpack with the Henry's Forest take. Firstly, no, it and Fishing aren't comparable. Thomas takes interest in it because he's watched the fisherman in action, Henry's interest comes out of nowhere. Also your choices for moments of 'lack of railway practice' are all odd because those were all based on real events.
Percy Runs Away is based on an incident when the crew jumped out of their engine as an express approached and pulled the regulator to save their machine; Plunge happened because goods trains are hard to stop (not least with a tank engine) and the rails were slippery; and Off the Rails is based on a report of a LMS engine coming off a turntable. Allegedly with GNR A1s they also tended to move on turntables as they raised steam because the movement shifted their controls.
I don't remember how many favorite Thomas episodes I remember a few Cranky bugs And dirty work.
I don’t know Why but you sound bored when talking about Duncan gets spooked
I got sick half way through making this video so thats probably why (it’s also the reason why this vid took a month to come out)
Here are my top 10

7.Thomas and the jet engine
6.over the hill
5.Gordon and Spencer
4.Escape
3.thomas Percy and the post train

Honorable mentions being not so slow coaches , toad adventure Thomas and the missing Christmas tree Hector, the horrid
I don't have a top 10, but my personal favorite episode, a controversial one as well, is 'Thomas and the Jet Engine'.
Uh, he does know that Hector the horrid is another three strikes episode RIGHT?
Don’t get me wrong, I love season 5, but my biggest problem with that season l is how underutilized Edward is in that season. Even as a kid I always felt sad that Edward didn’t have any starring episodes in season 5. I think the episodes Thomas, Percy And Old Slow Coach and Happy Ever After should’ve instead have been called Edward, Percy And Old Slow Coach and Edward’s Good Luck Package and have those 2 episodes be Edward’s starring episodes of season 5. Thomas also probably would’ve been swapped out with Percy in Edward’s Good Luck Package. I do firmly believe that if Percy was female instead of male (but still have her be named Percy and have her look and sound identical to her male counterpart in every single way) then this all would’ve been the case since Edward would’ve been the 5th boy instead of 6th.
Honestly, I don't like The End of Time that much. It feels like Russell T got WAY too full of himself and Tennant's hissy fit...just no
As for the Thomas episodes, I think Hector the Horrid is a bit overrated, but definitely still one of the best series 11 episodes. And Thomas, Percy and the Post Train, it's not my *favourite* narrative wise, but oh man, the visuals. Post Train and Thomas and Stepney are the two episodes, for me, that I just love sitting there looking at
Thomasfan261 can you show a your old channel
Hey I’m making a hector the horrid and put upon Percy mash up rewrite what should i do to make it better
The eps really should have been 6 minutes instead of 4 and a half
I Love Hector the horrid
yippee!!!!!!
The best Thomas episode is escape
When is your next dvd review
