4:57 There's my tweet with him stating fond memories working on Thomas. Anyhow, great ranking. Here's mine: 1. Ringo Starr 2. Willie Rushton 3. Alec Baldwin 4. George Carlin 5. Bruce Alexander 6. Mark Moraghan 7. Sir John Gielgud 8. Michael Brandon 9. Michael Angelis (I like him in S4, 6 and 7. However he's sorta hit or miss for me, but I still have a lot of respect for him. Not a fan of his RWS narrations). 10. Pierce Brosnan 11. Ben Forster 12. Ted Robbins 13. Johnny Morris (Not a fan of his voices or repetitive narration, including his Thomas voice. Only exceptions are Gordon, Percy, STH, coaches and staff members).
Very solid ranking! Here's mine: 1. George Carlin 2. Early Michael Angelis (S3-S7) 3. Mark Moraghan 4. Ringo Starr 5. Willie Rushton 6. Pierce Brosnan 7. Michael Brandon (While yes he's voices can be very hit or miss, he's WAY overhated and his energy and enthusiasm is sorely underappreciated) 8. Johnny Morris 9. Alec Baldwin (Only really great in S5. Had he kept the same enthusiasm in S6, he would've been much higher.) 10. Sir John Gielgud (He's good but he talks a little too fast for my liking) 11. Late Michael Angelis (S8 onwards) (Sorry, he kind of fell off during the HiT era and never really fully recovered. Classic series Angelis however, is a different story) 12. Ted Robbins 13. Ben Forster 14. Bruce Alexander 15. Thomas aka Joseph May and John Hasler (Dgmw, I love Joseph May and John Hasler as Thomas voice actors, but having Thomas be the narrator just feels so... wrong.)
7:23 Thomas and James are both older! 1914 and 1912 I believe. Also i honestly prefer when the characters don’t get overly unique voices accents are fine though.
I like the narrators throughout the series except baldwin and brandon as never much exposure. The CGI Mark is great as well as the railway series narrators and Pierce Brosnan for one off.
@@Z3pH4x it’s because when this video aired it aired live, and it was one of those videos where it shows up on UA-cam saying it will Premiere is so many hours and I commented on it when it was at that stage
Michael Angelis is my absolute favourite Thomas narrator. The show was never the same without him, in my opinion.

@@MutePenguin1155 sucks to be 11 days late to the premiere party
@@Z3pH4x not really, i was early and i watched it when it was live
George Collin is the best and he did play Mr. conductor from shining time station
awesome video
great video will
Ringo is the best
No missed it!
Johnny Morris is the best.
In my opinion it’s definitely George Carlin, his attitude gave the series more life.
Michael Angelis died in 2020,not 2021!
