This…will take some getting used to.

As a long-time Thomas & Friends fan, there are a barrage of great characters, some of whom haven't been explored so much.

 

It looks like one classic character will get some screentime: Toby's coach, Henrietta.

 

So what will take some getting used to? Click the spoiler.

That's Henrietta with a face. In the TV series, she never had a face, but did have one shown in The Railway Series.

 

I'm not saying it's a bad change at all. It just…surprised me. But Series 17 and King of the Railway surprised me with some very good writing and characterization from the new writing team (and with an official Railway Consultant to help them out), and I can't wait to see what's in store this April, along with Tale of the Brave.

 

 

 

And, of course, Toad and Oliver are slated to return this season due to the episode summaries and cameo in the Tale of the Brave trailer.

 

 

 

 

 

And have a look at a Series 18 clip, the episode being "Not So Slow Coaches."

Just out of curiosity, how good this particular tv series is?

Back in the classics (Series 1-4), they were great. Series 5-7 were good. Then, HiT acquired the TV rights, starting in Series 8; and it went to crap. During that time, HiT changed the development of the railway from modelling (series 1-11) to CGI (series 13 onward).

 

Then HiT gave the writing for Thomas a complete overhaul, hiring veteran Thomas writers and other good writers like Davey Moore. Series 17 debuted this new cast, and it's easily the best Thomas series in years. (They also went with a new CGI animation company, from Nitrogen to Arc, who's done just fine.) Plus, there's a Railway Consultant to make the railway predicaments as realistic as possible.

 

Recommended series: 1-4, 5-7, 17.
