I'll likely get crucified for this, but...
The US dub didn't need to exist, nor is it good. I genuinely cringe when I hear it, it's just not Thomas.

I will never fail to enjoy the fact that the same fella wrote both this and “Martha My Dear” not only in the same lifetime, but also in the same year, and indeed on the same album.

Over-explaining your lyrics is usually a pretty good sign that you weren’t saying much

"They do HAVE personalities, but they are rooted firmly in the fact they are machines doing work."

It's not a necessity to write a Thomas story per se, but it pays to read up on real locomotives and railway practice for this reason.

one of the most gutting lyrics I’ve ever heard is brian wilson singing the words “sometimes i feel very sad” repeatedly.
the beatles’ “i want you (she’s so heavy)” has twelve words and half of them are the title.
cee-lo’s “fuck you” was one of the best kiss-offs in years.
I've been saying this FOR YEARS. But people never like when I say it. 🤣
If you see the engines as cuddly characters first, and working locomotives second, you’re doing it all wrong
Naming the show “Thomas & Friends” was the start of a long, long chain reaction that led us to where we are now
Also Kenny was wrong to give James blue stripes

Children in Need parading videos of disabled kids as celebrities beg for donations while the government actively takes disability allowance and PIP away is too cruel to even belong in the harshest political satire.

It was really lovely to hear from Lucy Beaumont earlier over on Insta, and it’s clear that she can see the outpouring of goodwill from everyone on social media!
I’ll put a link to the campaign she mentions below 👇

It's morbidly hilarious that Scrooge was written as the most comically cruel businessman that a Victorian could come up with and the modern ruling class identifies with him so much that they're doing puff pieces about how he's just misunderstood.
Ti West says that Scrooge uses logic & good arguments against others in his movie ‘EBENEZER’.
“As his Scrooge cuts someone down verbally or as he makes a financial point or withdraws, you do understand why he’s doing it.”

Sean Lock on Thatcher's death "The bitch is dead that's the main thing."
"I'd like them to fire her out of a cannon onto buckingham palace so she goes splat."
Oh we miss his honesty and his humour.

A British rapper should do a line like:
“You think you’re an ‘ardman, Wallace & Gromit” x
