Thomas & Friends is a British children's television series, which had its first broadcast on the ITV network on 4 September 1984. It is based on The Railway Series of books by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son, Christopher Awdry. These books deal with the adventures of a group of anthropomorphised locomotives and road vehicles who live on the fictional Island of Sodor. The books were based on stories Wilbert told to entertain his son, Christopher during his recovery from measles. From Series one to four, many of the stories are based on events from Awdry's personal experience.

It was always aesthetically pleasing to my young mind and I liked ringo Starr’s peaceful voice

Was one of my favorites when I was little

Perfect to watch with your kids, or by yourself for a big nostalgia hit

It's a kids show, you can't go much wrong with that. Kinda creepy tho.

This show was an integral part of my childhood. It has great characters, teaches important lessons and is both intelligent and charming

Classic childrens show. Really good to watch with family. Funny and great

Probably my least favorite children’s show of all time. Boring, long, and overall no fun at all.

This used to be my favourite show when I was a kid

Thomas and Friends is unsettling and generally confusing. Not the best children’s show.

Such an important part of my childhood. I still have a box of my wooden set somewhere in my parents’ attic I’m pretty sure.
