Who else came here after Unlucky Tug’s video on Tugs? R.I.P David Mitton and other who passed working on this. You will be remembered, David for Tugs and Thomas.
2:02 - 2:27 Instrumental intro theme! And now I can see where that footage has come from, I thought we were never going to see where it is from after watching "Steaming to Legacy." Fun Fact: TUGS and S5 of Thomas the Tank Engine are both filmed in the same room at Shepparton Studios!
It's alright if you didn't know. The first series of TTTE was filmed at Clapham Junction, the second - twelfth series were later filmed at Shepperton Studios before Nitrogen Studios and Arc/Jam Filled in Canada took over for the rest of the show.
If you want more, go to The Unlucky Tug’s channel and look at his Analysis video on TUGS, and there is a link to a drive folder with a bunch of photos in the description
I never thought I'd see the day when I would see this. I love this and now we see what Chris Tulloch looks like. He is a great person to have on the set and what a guy David Mitton is. I must applaud you for bringing this to us as it is amazing to see the special clips and preparations that are part of the show 🙂.
OMG!!! This is the best Christmas present you’ve given to everybody!! And the full clear instrumental of the opening theme is the symbol of Christmas and TUGS!! Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
A monumental thank you to yourself and Jim. Seeing behind the scenes of this show really showcases just the level of thought, passion, and expertise needed to really bring everything together. And who would think that years after this was filmed a group of fans would obtain so many of these artifacts? It’s honestly a dream. Thank you for sharing this with the world and the community. This is a wonderful gem and it really shows us how the magic happened. Happy Holidays! 😊
The production of this *very does* look like such great fun! I *do* long for the days of pre-CGI world in children's television animation. Saying that, some modern CGI kids programmed *can* still be great (I *really* like Netflix's "Go, Dog, Go!"). Just depends on what how they do it and how they do go about it (e.g. shit like "Fireman Sam").
I just remembered this video existed, it's absolutely magical. (I feel like the reason Zorran is cross during the interview is because Chris Tulloch is using the Big Mac controller during the demonstration if you look closely.)
Finally I can see Retro Bill in stunning HD!!1!1!1 All jokes aside though, I don't know how long I've been waiting for something like this, but I'm in awe. Thank you for blessing myself and the rest of the community with this extremely rare piece of TUGS and television history! Also, Cardona's voice though.
I've read countless articles and interviews about the making of Tugs but never in my lifetime did I expect to see video footage of behind the scenes. Thank you so much for the upload! Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year! Cheers from the US!
You know with Thomas and Friends going around the world now, this would be the right time introduce Tugs into the series. Either Thomas visits Bigg City port or the Star Tugs visiting Sodor.
Fantastic video! Glad this has finally resurfaced to see the light of day. Very intriguing as well, definitely gives you more appreciation for all the work they put into this short lived show.
Oh Yeah That's Right. David Mitton Also Worked On Special Effects On Gerry Anderson's UFO In 1970 And He And James Bond And Superman's Oscar Winning Special Effects Director Derek Meddings Also Worked On Special Effects From Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation Television Series Such As Joe 90 In 1968 Along With Gerry Anderson's Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons The Original Series In 1967 And Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds The Original Series In 1965. Thunderbirds Are GO. Spectrum Is Green. F.A.B Virgil. Thanks the railway guy 2019 Mate. X
What's to be excited for? Oh, wait, you're actually getting more than 100 views on a video for once? Awesome stuff. Also, how does it feel to be making TTTE song remakes using Windows Movie Maker with a video looking like it was made by TenCents01 back in 2008. You're a good user maaaaaan!
You're the biggest heroine user I have ever seen. You're worse than the white knights who suck of the lady genitals of female Thomas users and "let them into our club". You suck up of so many users to boost your "wooden train" ego and get up higher on the community social hierarchy. You may be as deluded as MrMPS.
@Jared DiCarlo I already knew about this fact 🙂 But it just would have been really cool to see the VAs performing the voices themselves It's a real shame that they never got credited for the voicework 😞 Shaun Prendergast the VA for Sunshine & Zak said in an interview that he didn't even realise none of them were credited for their Voice Roles
I wish they had made more episodes of TUGS. It had so much potential to become something much more bigger than it was. Shame that they went bankrupt. I wish Britt Alcroft had bought the rights to TUGS.
*And still no official DVD release as of 2023!* Not to mention "Shitty's Outhouse" being shown on Channel 4 during the early 2000s in the UK maybe did *quite a bit* of it in also.
Most of the same crew that me the delights of "Thomas" growing up. 😥Also remembering renting "TUGS" once or twice from the video shop. Complete with the "grind of doom" Castle Vision ident. Saying that, I *wasn't* flat-out scared of it, just weirded out.
When that TUGS main theme instrumental played at 2:03 the tears began to roll. Thank you so much for this!
Yeah man. The holy grail has been found. lol
The closing credits them is beautiful and epic.

TheSudrian A0 cool and all, but I thought T&F was filmed at BlueBird Studios, the same place Bob The Builder was filmed? Eh guess I’m wrong!
It's alright if you didn't know.

I wish there was more of this behind the scenes stuff available!

The Star Tugs Trust owns a lot of uncut stuff from the episodes, but they don’t show them publicly.
Zorran’s face explains my reaction to not being able to see this right away
90'skids WHAT ?
I never thought I'd see the day when I would see this. I love this and now we see what Chris Tulloch looks like. He is a great person to have on the set and what a guy David Mitton is.

were there no images of Chris tulloch priar to this?

I just realised they were filming "Up River", episode 12 during this interview
A monumental thank you to yourself and Jim. Seeing behind the scenes of this show really showcases just the level of thought, passion, and expertise needed to really bring everything together.

Amazing, I would’ve loved to have worked on a programme like this.
I think the convenience of modern CGI has taken a lot of this magic away.
The production of this *very does* look like such great fun! I *do* long for the days of pre-CGI world in children's television animation. Saying that, some modern CGI kids programmed *can* still be great (I *really* like Netflix's "Go, Dog, Go!").

3:04 Chris Tulloch who also voices Zorran looks like Zorran! lol
Thanks for the rare find lad. We still have the TV Stars with us in The Star Tugs Trust Community except Top Hat and Grampus are missing.
Very interesting...much more interesting than Computer Generated Graphics that we see too much of now-a-days. Thanks Star!
True, pop culture doesn’t need too much CGI animation.
@@mediatrainfan0282 yeah for example Superbook 1981 and The Flying House 1982 are both in 2d and they are pretty good
I don’t hate CGI, but it’s just over used nowadays.
@@mediatrainfan0282 I know and you are right
@@mediatrainfan0282 It can still be good (Netflix's "Go, Dog, Go!") Just depends how they do it or go about it.
I just remembered this video existed, it's absolutely magical.
(I feel like the reason Zorran is cross during the interview is because Chris Tulloch is using the Big Mac controller during the demonstration if you look closely.)
Looking at this, I *now* would have *killed* to work on this. Looks like a huge model toy shop that you play with to make a children's TV programme!
This is the best video ever. I really like seeing the Tugs and the studio.
Just coming back here, I still find it crazy how much was seen when this first came out. it really was a CRAZY time!
i love this kind of behind the scenes stuff! It makes the whole experience even more magical.
Finally I can see Retro Bill in stunning HD!!1!1!1 All jokes aside though, I don't know how long I've been waiting for something like this, but I'm in awe. Thank you for blessing myself and the rest of the community with this extremely rare piece of TUGS and television history! Also, Cardona's voice though.
Bring Tugs back
Da
No then it would just be a sellout
@@blowfishlasagna3852 like thomas and friends
What about a reboot in CGI
Roo the Tug boat no it wouldn’t capture the art, atmosphere and passion that the models have done
I wish they showed the voice actors for the series and original recordings of them doing there roles for the series
I know a guy who could bring tugs back!
@@mightyalbert1470 David Mitton Is Not Alive Now... Its imposibble to bring tugs back on the show
@@sepoerdjadoelstudio1189 yeah but surely you don't need David to make a tugs remake
@@baskits4735 i didin't say David to remake it.... Why dont us ??? Make some fanmade film of Tugs ??? Wouldn't that be nice ?
@@sepoerdjadoelstudio1189 yeah but you said he was dead so it was impossible to bring tugs back
Thanks for uploading this. I loved TUGS as a child.
I'm glad that ghostbusters got to the uk
And you are truly a "Star" switcher thanks for this video
I've read countless articles and interviews about the making of Tugs but never in my lifetime did I expect to see video footage of behind the scenes. Thank you so much for the upload! Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year! Cheers from the US!
Cheers back man, also based in the US! :D
Lol I had no idea, usually Tugs fans are from the UK. In that case Cheers from Chicago :D
@@TheStarSwitcher oh my gosh the behind the scenes of Tugs? Cool this is amazing
@@TheStarSwitcher Haha long live Ten Scents and his friends 😄😆😉😉💓💓💓💓❤
@@TheStarSwitcher Epi are you there?
Went and saw this at one of the Star Tugs events a year back. It is a great documentary. Thanks for getting the permission to share it. :)
Wow. This is such an amazing find. It's great to see how it was made. :D
Amazing! Absolutely wonderful that we have this here, now! Merry Christmas everyone!
Definitely worth the wait :)
5:26 One of the best and most beautiful intro themes of a TV series ever composed.
What a Fantastic Christmas Present I received!
3:13 - 3:20 Does anyone else think this sounds like a conversation between Ten Cents and Zorran - about their own TV show?
Yeah it almost does
Tugs was one of my favourite shows when I was a kid.
This was great!
2:05 Cool Behind The Scenes Documentary Of Tugs. Thanks Mate. X
Wow. Just wow. I had no idea that TUGS had so much publicity.
I really wasn't expecting Gaz Top, I was talking to someone about How 2 just yesterday.
Looks Great, How They Made TUGS Behind The Scenes!😀😃😊
Thanks for uploading this.
4:19 top hat: NO
4:19-4:24
*Arin’s rage when playing Sonic ‘06 intensifies.*
Thank you for uploading this. As you can see my fave is Jonny Cuba
My favorite is Top Hat
@@davifariatertuliano I love them all I can't pick 1 favorite
This is beautiful
This is amazing! Thanks for uploading this.
This show is what got me fascinated in tugboats
I've been waiting for over a year to see this footage, thanks to SmurfyDan's "Steaming To Legacy- Thomas Goes International!"
I waited all my life
You know with Thomas and Friends going around the world now, this would be the right time introduce Tugs into the series. Either Thomas visits Bigg City port or the Star Tugs visiting Sodor.
Thats True !
Spoilers: didn't happened
WOW I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE TUGS FLOATED
Such a shame there was never a series 2
2:56 Fun fact: He voices the character he's controlling!
Wow this is amazing I never thought I would have seen the bts of tugs. This is fantastic. Thank you.
This is Genius thank you for this
4:11 this is the last we ever see of Top Hats model,boy I hope we find him soon :
that was awesome. it gives you a whole new perspective of the show.
That looks beautiful!😍🚤
Fantastic video! Glad this has finally resurfaced to see the light of day. Very intriguing as well, definitely gives you more appreciation for all the work they put into this short lived show.
Thank you for posting. 👍
I would love to see the galleon set scene from the episode ‘Ghosts’ on Tugs set at Shepperton Studios.
3:35 Quite Right Too David Mitton The Guy Who Created Tugs And Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends. Thanks Mate. X
He directed ttte Britt alcroft made it. Still a great man tho
Oh Yeah That's Right.

Britt Allcroft played a massive part. A partnership made in heaven.
@@SuperTed19021 Oh Really. X
@@lukegreen5341 Britt Allcroft did in making "Thomas the Tank Engine". She played no part in making "TUGS" as far as I know.
Awesome behind the scenes
2:33 you will be missed David Mitton
3:42 and 4:59 actually. 2:33 is actually Robert Cardona, if you can read the text on the video.
Awesome! You, sir or madam, have done something worthy of the Star Fleet by uploading this onto RUclips!
Omg I’m so excited
What's to be excited for? Oh, wait, you're actually getting more than 100 views on a video for once? Awesome stuff. Also, how does it feel to be making TTTE song remakes using Windows Movie Maker with a video looking like it was made by TenCents01 back in 2008. You're a good user maaaaaan!
This is so awsome.
WOIW thanks for uploading dis
love tugs sould have more
4:28 he knocks Big Mac
i found the elusive Ten Cents tugs plush...
Wow I always wondered how they kept the tugs so still while in the water
You only have to see David Mitton in the flesh, to remember that he was once the director of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends Stories.
Awesome!
3:57 Freaky! lol.
David was like “LET’S BLOW SHIT UP”
I love TUGS
With this, a high quality FULL intro theme instrumental could be made with no removed voice and only a little bit ripped from episodes.
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/rGXeaiFqBWU/видео.html
Cool Sunshine!
Just noticed this is a children's show where the host has made mention of The Omen...
WOW...
That was awesome 😍
This is so cool!
Glad to see this that sharing this

Huh? Well I love this and the intro music for Tugs it's beautiful and Powerful I always wanted to say that so yes 😄😅😆😆😙😗😘😘😚😚😚😚😍😍😎😁😁😁😀😀💟💟💟💟💟
4:47 I just realized that is part is from up river.... I’m dumb
I wish there was a behind the scenes like this of thomas
Oh but there is one 👀😌
Just gotta look around for it 😊👍
Ironically enough,the three tv shows David Mitton worked on all started with “T”(Thunderbirds,Thomas the Tank Engine,and Tugs.)
I would of Loved to have seen Footage of the Actors doing the Voices
@Jared DiCarlo I already knew about this fact 🙂 But it just would have been really cool to see the VAs performing the voices themselves
It's a real shame that they never got credited for the voicework 😞 Shaun Prendergast the VA for Sunshine & Zak said in an interview that he didn't even realise none of them were credited for their Voice Roles
wow this was amazing
I grew up with Thomas and friends I have a lot of Thomas and friends stuff and I kind of like it to this day
I wish they had made more episodes of TUGS. It had so much potential to become something much more bigger than it was. Shame that they went bankrupt. I wish Britt Alcroft had bought the rights to TUGS.

The tugs are very Incredible
shame this show didn't last long & its nice that most of the sets & tugs still exist now
I heard some was recycled for Thomas & Friends
Chris Tulloch was also the voice of Zorran.
Brilliant behind the scenes I wonder if the t stage is still at Shepperton studios.
Most of the same crew that me the delights of "Thomas" growing up. 😥Also remembering renting "TUGS" once or twice from the video shop. Complete with the "grind of doom" Castle Vision ident. Saying that, I *wasn't* flat-out scared of it, just weirded out.
4:41 What you looking at?!
AWESOME M8!!!
Nostalgia boats
In TTTE Big world big adventure.... They should've Introduce Tugs...
Railfans 1130 well SS Roxstar is in it and she used to be Vienna
I wish Mitton is still around, he can make another Thomas movie. Or even a TUGS movie.
I love tugs wish they mad more but they need to make it like this
I do wish to see more of tugs series episodes in the future, like one more episode called Rebecca, the new star tug
