I can’t believe how many people think this is the real deal Edit: you know what, this is exactly good enough to be real. Emulates perfectly what it would have been like. Good work
I thought this was real until I checked twitter. I literally thought to myself: “that looks like the bachmann James. How odd.” This was so good. The recreation and Caitlan’s performance really sold this.
She's so good, isn't she? And yes, Bachmann James was a little bit cheeky - I knew the game would be up when he appears, but that's amazing to hear. Thank you, bud!
This did a great job of capturing the spirit of 1950s television! I especially found it clever when you cut away to the footage of the rainclouds and rain to switch sets. It seemed like the kind of thing that would be done in a live production
That was a splendid recreation of lost-media we're still waiting to discover after many decades! The thumbnail of this made me look forward to what was coming, especially seeing the BBC "Bat Wings" logo, which was introduced around the time when "The Sad Story of Henry" broadcast to the BBC. The narrator sounds spot-on to British narrators of children's programmes from this era, e.g. Watch with Mother. I also recognise that BBC Children's Television intro shown at the beginning and putting that before the programme will confuse some into thinking this is real. :P The adaption of this surprised me, especially seeing James appear. I like how normal the scene from 2:26-2:39 is, considering back in the day, these were live broadcasts, and they couldn't edit the errors out. Seeing the brick wall appearing in front of Henry at 5:34 with a string attached is another example, since this was live, they couldn't add bricks one by one as the hands would appear on live television again! This video along with others from the "75th Surprise Packet" made my day today, this is the best recreation attempt I've seen of this lost-media in a while! :-)
Can I just say, this is one of the most brilliant recreations of "The Sad Story of Henry" I've ever seen so far. Probably one of the best lost media recreations of this year 2020!! And it is nice to see the whole episode recreated, rather than just that one incident scene. I've been waiting to see this accurate recreation of this for 3 years and it's finally here. YAY!!!! And also, that BBC narrator for this episode sounded real, was that an audio taken from an old BBC Radio broadcast? Since at the time, most radio shows were archived, whilst the television shows weren't. Just wondering. But overall, that was the most brilliant recreation I've ever seen so far!! Keep up with the awesome work SodorsNWRstream!!!! :D
Thanks so much for such a lovely comment! The narration is by the brilliant ButterflyCoffee, and the audio merely built from a script I wrote to capture the rough feeling of the original production (or, rather, my best guess).
WOW!!!! Now that is cool. ButterflyCoffee really did a fabulous voice-acting on the BBC narrator, it makes this remake feel more believable indeed!! Even though I don't think there would be a remake of this, but I wonder if there would be a remake of the Down The Mine 1983 pilot. That would be interesting. But thanks for the nice reply!! :)
Dang... this feels so... real... I already knew it was fake going in, but I truly hit me when Thomas said, "You're too fat; you need exercise." Though, really, anyone could've seen it coming.
Ah, this is so cleverly done. Even beyond the editing choices, the writing has the seams of people writing a very loose adaptation of the story such as taking famous lines from other books. There were so many wonderful details in here, well done
I am awestruck at how authentic this reconstruction feels! Phenomenal work and such a refreshing change in the way we all celebrate the 75th anniversary! ButterflyCoffee's narration in the style of Julia Lang is very impressive and nails the RP accent to a tee! Seriously, well done to all!
Once an engine attatched to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain. The points weren't right, it came off with a fright and a hand put it back on again.
Once an engine attached to a trade was afraid of a few drops of rain the points went right it came off with a fright and a hand put it on again and then just carried on with the story and then when they recorded it live it was all forgotten and deleted sad
Mr Hand was immediately fired, and placed by the far more respectable Mr Foot - who kicked the sets into a nearby bin. Thanks for the comment, ButterfyCoffee's terrific isn't she?
They plopped a cardboard wall in front of Henry, who thought that he was trapped, when he could have easily just reversed. I supposed the men bricked up the others side, too.
When I watched the live comments, all I saw were people claiming this was going to be the real thing, I knew it was going to be a recreated adaptation from the start. This is an amazing recreation and you did a great job!
This is a great remake. I almost thought that ButterflyCoffee's voice along with the sound effects was actually real. This is close to what the Wiki described. It's just that Thomas wasn't in it. It was Edward. Also the episode took up 10 minutes. However those are just my nitpicks and it doesn't ruin it
Probably the best replica of this version I've seen. I would've thought since it was 1953 that there would only be one set and only two or three cameras since it was shown live. And probably the only time such a complex model train programme was shown live until UA-cam live streams
Thank you for making this ! I Love how you recreated this televised disaster from the 50s and also that guard's whistle is Of ficer Beeples whistle from The Wiggles.
'The rain will spoil my lovely clay face with dot-eyes!' Awesome adaptation mate - I feel like I've been transported to the past as much as that bridge was teleported through the air XD
This was fantastic! Very authentic, you’ve clearly put a lot of research into TV of the period. Everything from the narration to the sound effects felt so right. I liked the use of the stock footage too, gives them time to move to the next set I suppose. My favourite parts were the line of passengers and the wall being plonked down. Great stuff :)
It is really sad that this is lost, I hope it's somewhere in the archives, would love to see the original. I think you have done a good job at remaking how it could have looked :)
Very unlikely since it was broadcast live. BBC didn't start recording their programmes til 1958 and thus hardly any TV prior to that year remains in their archive.
I knew full well that this wasn't the actual thing, and yet I forgot it wasn't about two thirds of the way in, and for a good several seconds I actually believed it was real. Shows what a brilliant job you did. This is actually kind of charming!
I think this is as far as I want to go, honestly. I was taken with adapting this due to the challenges of replicating the feel and the tone of it all, but now I've made it I am quite eager to move onto other things. Thanks though!
I would adapt Edward, Gordon, and Henry because you can’t do The Sad Story of Henry without it’s conclusion. P.S. There were going to be 2nd adaption but it was canceled.
I was so looking forward to this when I heard about it, but the bachmann James, the fact that Henry is a black 5 instead of his original hybrid shape, it is a nice remake, captures the 50s very well, but i'm very put off by this.

'Once an Engine attached to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain The points weren't set right It came off with a fright And a hand put it back on again!'
Honestly, hearing about this just kinda depresses me. There was probably some poor kid who really liked it, but then saw everyone hating on it and it being cancelled, he was literally left hanging. He wouldn’t even be a kid anymore when the 1984 version came out. It’s stuff like that which really just bums me out.
Masterpiece! I genuinely mean that, in the way you have filmed this there was nothing about it that would have made me think it was a regular fan project. This really does look and feel like an actual 1950s program from the way you have thought of camera angles, the way the smoke comes onto the set, the animation, narration, lighting, screen ratio, stock footage etc. And I love how you rewrote the opening by using phrases used in later stories to introduce us to the characters in a way that film producers may have done it back then. Really enjoyed this, beautifully well thought of, well done!
Thanks for such a lovely comment! It was a joy to tackle in terms of the contemporary stuff, I grew up with plenty of "Watch With Mother" on the television so I enjoyed reaching back and trying to work out the various staples that would make it authentic. Really appreciate the comment :)
Wow! I've been wondering how this could've been found but how did you get hold of it? where has it been this whole time? and will we finally see the "jerky Railway operation" as Wilbert described it I cannot wait! Edit: this was before I watched it and realised it was fake
I just saw this episode today and I want to say... WOW!!! You did an INCREDIBLE job on this video! Just FANTASTIC!!! I admit, at first when I saw this I knew it was going to be fake and then I was a little convinced. So you ALMOST had me. I have to tell you, you got EVERYTHING right such as the reference to the hand putting Henry back on the rails, the old-fashioned footage showing the thunderstorm and all the traits and elements a 1950s show have.

It's so kind of you to write such a lovely, flattering comment. I really wanted to create something that felt authentic so, if that does indeed come across in some small way, then I've done my job and I'm over the moon. Thanks very much for watching!
Truthfully, part of me is suspicious to it being the real thing. However, I won’t let that take out for me as since with your quality film work, many could believe if it is the actual thing. Either way, I am still excited and can’t wait to see it. Edit: After watching it, it would be so real that many could believe it is real. I love this adaptation. It's lovely to every last detail of it.
I knew this wasn't the real BBC story, but I'm not mad at you for that. I think your version is more beautiful than what I imagine the genuine article might look like. I only wish the BBC's sad story of Henry had been successful. If it had been, Thomas & Friends might've avoided the horrid reboot by Mattel and Nelvana. I also wish Julia Lang had been hired as the 1st narrator of the RWS audiobooks.
@@thatrandomredengine9430 Might’ve followed the series by doing each of the stories in a sorta chronological order. I say sorta because Sad Story was the 3rd book in the original series.

Truthfully, part of me is suspicious to it being the real thing. However, I won’t let that take out for me as since with your quality film work, many could believe if it is the actual thing. Either way, I am still excited and can’t wait to see it.
Edit: After watching it, it would be so real that many could believe it is real. I love this adaptation. It's lovely to every last detail of it.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the watch and the comment.
I don't even mind the Bachmann James, this is insanely accurate to how the real footage would have looked. Great work!
Thank god this isnt “child locked”
I can't stand the idea of it - UA-cam thrives on community and diverse reactions. Thanks for watching.
@@SodorsNWRsteam this looks almost exact. The only thing is that they were all hornby princess royal classes in the live one
Thanks for clearing it up, Well, you did a great job at re-creating it.
Thanks!
SodorsNWRsteam you’re welcome
Perfect! I thought this was legit!

Ha! Thanks for watching.
Im waiting for some dude who remembers the original broadcast from 1953 to comment on this saying something like "Ahh! the good ol days!"
I Seriously thought this was real
This looks so real, I thought it was the actual version. Great work!
Thank you!
@@SodorsNWRsteam a very good try at recreating lost Tv footage. Butter fly Coffee was very good as the story teller
If This is a meme, it will be a very bad taste for a meme
Just a recreation, I'm afraid - but thanks for the comment!
Very good; I wondered if anyone would ever attempt to recreate this piece of lost Thomas media. Well done.
Thank you!
5:34 To save on manual labour, the North Western Railway flies in their brick walls by helicopter.
It has its ups and downs, and usually big "plonks" come with said downs.
Now man this is fantastic. I thought this was the real deal but you are fantastic
Thank you for such a lovely comment!
No worries this is godlike to the very last detail
I knew this wasn't the real BBC story, but I'm not mad at you for that. I think your version is more beautiful than what I imagine the genuine article might look like. I only wish the BBC's sad story of Henry had been successful. If it had been, Thomas & Friends might've avoided the horrid reboot by Mattel and Nelvana. I also wish Julia Lang had been hired as the 1st narrator of the RWS audiobooks.
it’s a recreation
Amazing Adaption! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
I love it! It's great!
Thanks!
@@SodorsNWRsteam No problem! :D
This is so well crafted I thought this was real
The actual original first episode of Thomas, huh.
Indeed, although this PARTICULAR version is simply a reconstruction. Now if only we’d get the remake of the 1976 Andrew Lloyd Webber pilot.
@@MrBlueSkyof1607 I also love the fact they picked a Henry story. As a Henry fan, I must say this is awesome.
@@thatrandomredengine9430 Might’ve followed the series by doing each of the stories in a sorta chronological order. I say sorta because Sad Story was the 3rd book in the original series.
