Britt Allcroft's Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends - Series 2 (US)

Sign in to edit

The second series of Thomas & Friends premiered on Sunday April 16, 1989 in the US. Ringo Starr narrated its seventeen in the US for Shining Time Station from 1989 to 1990 with George Carlin re-narrating all of the episodes for the US, with most of them being aired between 1991 and 1998.

Production[]

The majority of the episodes were based on stories written by the Reverend W. Awdry. Christopher Awdry was commissioned to write a new Railway Series book as source material for the second series. Two stories from More About Thomas the Tank Engine provided additional roles for Bertie the Bus and Harold the Helicopter. The episode Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree was a one-off story written by Christopher Awdry. According to the original end credits for Thomas and Trevor, the episode is "based on the story by Christopher Awdry from original material by Britt Allcroft and David Mitton." All of Christopher Awdry's new stories were added later in production.

Percy's Promise, Gordon Goes Foreign and Double Header were originally considered but were dropped and replaced by Christopher Awdry's new stories. According to Robert Gauld-Galliers, "Gordon Goes Foreign" in particular was not filmed because its production costs' budget was too high. Additionally, The Missing Coach, based on a story from The Twin Engines, was due to be filmed. The episode was halfway through production before Britt Allcroft decided to cut the episode, citing a lack of action and a storyline which was too convoluted for young viewers to follow. Percy's Promise and Double Header, whose name would be changed to Time for Trouble, would be seen in the third series.
