Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (Betamax/VHS)

Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends is a UK Betamax/VHS released in 1985 by Guild Home Video featuring thirteen first season episodes narrated by Ringo Starr.

Description
It's full steam ahead for Thomas, the little blue engine with the short stumpy funnel, short stumpy boiler and short stumpy dome and his special friends Gordon, Henry, James, Percy, Edward, Toby, Annie and Clarabel the carriages and of course their Boss, the Fat Controller. Now Thomas has a new friend - storyteller Ringo Starr, who says "Thomas is a smashing little engine - he's cheeky and has a mind of his own. Thomas is Number One and never lets anyone forget it!".

Episodes

Trivia
This was the very first Thomas video ever released in the UK, and was reviewed on TV-AMs "Good Morning Britain" when first released. The end credits of Thomas Terence and the Snow feature a still image from Edward, Gordon and Henry, this was later repeated on Bumper Special.

Goofs
The back cover features an image from Trouble in the Shed, but that episode is not on the video. The back covers of the Kaleidoscope and ABC for Kids versions of Thomas and Gordon and other stories also repeat this.
