Seeing a lot of comments regarding the unused shot of the ghost engine from Duncan Gets Spooked. I didn't include that because it is just an alternate shot of it traveling, and there isn't much to say about it other than "it's neat seeing it from a different angle". It's an awesome shot though, no doubt!
@@aoiasahinashusband that what I was thinking. It would’ve made a funny scene. The car could be laughing at Percy when he crashes into the baggage trolley, only to get splashed with jam
1:00:20 honestly I think they probably cut this scene because the Gordon scene where he congratulates Edward served pretty much the same purpose. Would still be cool to see the twins tho.
Kind of makes me wonder how many deleted scenes/shots from the model series are out there that have never seen the light of day. Just how much more is out there waiting to be discovered from this era of the show? I'll never forget the day those Season 5 rushes were released, it was just incredible to see all those deleted shots, bloopers and alternate takes that were previously unseen. Something I never in a million years thought would happen.
Whenever there are deleted scenes for an shows I always get a lot of joy out of them because they expand upon the show and add more to them and all the deleted scenes/behind the scenes footage for Thomas is just so awesome
Hope the wedding goes well, Nic. Best of luck to you and the soon-to-be wife for your biggest day and the honeymoon. This series is fascinating when it comes to unused content. When you're a kid and you watch Thomas on videotape or even DVD, you just naturally think everything flows, and then a song comes on and you see many shots you don't recognize. Look at Thomas We Love You. Most of that music video is just cut scenes from Season 3... Granted, I don't watch the show anymore, but if anything, it just makes me feel disappointed they never included deleted footage on DVDs. I get why they didn't, there's a lot of it (just look at those S5 rushes!!!), it all more than likely wouldn't fit on a standard DVD, not to mention most of it doesn't have any audio since I'm pretty sure they were shot silent, but the thought of having all that at your disposal would be pretty cool, especially at that age...
@@ambrmthe wiki says the shot of an owl in the smelters yard (the one with a normal sized owl and a gigantic owl appearing out of nowhere) was supposed to be a deleted scene from scaredy engines
I'd argue the shot of the Ghost Engine traveling towards the bridge in DGS should be in this video. Yes, it could be considered just an "alternate shot" but it really changed the way I see the episode with a full view of the character from behind.
With the photo of muddy Percy, I wonder if maybe they originally shot another scene in place of the one where Henry asks Percy if he liked he water. Maybe it was an alternate take where a muddy Percy went up to Thomas as they looked at the sign and had a similar conversation to what they'd had at the beginning or Thomas was given Henry's lines? That's one thought I'd had.
I think the shot of Murdoch pulling a goods train through the set for "Gordon and Spencer" was an inspiration to how @theburiedtruck wrote his story, "Murdoch's whistle". 😂😂😂
My theory about the Percy Takes The Plunge scene is that it's an alternate version of the ending. Percy was supposed to be pulled out by one of the other engines, similar to Gordon in Off The Rails, and Thomas is there to say "I told you so" to end the episode.
I wonder if these count as deleted scenes or perhaps just renders made for promotional stills, but Season 20 has 2 images that appear in the Encyclopedia book, but not the episodes themselves: one from Henry Gets the Express that shows Henry passing an annoyed Gordon side by side, and another from Bradford the Brakevan that shows Bradford yelling at a backwards-facing truck directly behind Thomas. The truck is filled with coal, instead of being empty.
An extra tidbit re. 'Gordon & The Famous Visitor' that was left out here: In the original 'Domeless Engines,' Duck was annoyed at Gordon for daring to insult a Great Western engine, so the episode's cut scene with him and Edward at the Wellsworth Station platforms made more sense in following that beat. As is, Duck is less annoyed and more dismissive toward him: "OK, Gordon. Whatever."
This is possibly not an actual deleted scene and just staged, but I think it deserves a mention. In a promo image from No Sleep for Cranky, we see what seems to be the POV shot from the start of the episode, but the engines are arranged very differently and are pulling different cargo. Percy is also on the middle track. Most notably, Bulstrode is present in the scene. This actually uses Bulstrode's second model after his original was destroyed when it was shipped to be used on TATMR (which it never was). This was weirdly the only time that the model was ever used, though it was later put on display at Drayton Manor.
1:26:15 the way that panel flipped out made me think Carlos was originally meant to have that panel built into his smokebox, and could flip out for festivals and celebrations
44:41 My assumption is that they might've wanted to aim for a more realistic crash if they went through with finalizing the trucks crashing, where they skidd off the tracks a bit and onto their sides, rather than them just tipping over like toys. That's at least my interpretation, because that would've fit the more cinematically dynamic style of Season 5's crash sequences.
20:00 I think the reason the photos were in a different spot than in the episode is possibly because Back then they tore down the sets after using them. So the set was most likely torn down when having to take shots for the -what I suppose to be - book. So they just used the St that looked closest to the episode.
I think a deleted scene you should’ve mentioned is this one of Ned from Jack Jumps In. I find it significant because he's the only character that appeared in that episode not to have any dialogue, and yet apparently he was intended to have an entire scene to himself.
10:48 uncannily this might be the creepiest model of duck I’ve ever seen especially just looking out the window and seeing that horrifying expression on his face. Some of my favorite scenes from the model era are the ones where small mistakes can still be scene in them. My favorite kind of mistake is the Wonky Eyes the engines sometimes have, did a whole video on some of the best ones I remember.
Ngl I feel like the deleted night scene in Harvey To The Rescue was just an alternate take of the first scene at the sheds, and not part of the second one. The main giveaway is that they filmed a shot of Percy looking angrily at Harvey, despite literally being rescued by him, completely illogical. As to why they'd refilm the entire scene with the sunset lighting, I have no idea lmao All I can really notice is that Gordon and Edward have their angry faces in the night cut and their sad faces in the sunset cut, so there might be a correlation?
47:28 personally i think this scene was meant to be the original scene of the engines talking shit about Harvey It was reshot with the scene being set at sunset rather then at nightime :/
I almost wonder if the truck derailing in Busy Going Backwards was to hide Toby's chassis pushing the train, which does appear in goofs. I also remember around maybe late 2017, there was a promo of Nia saying her name, and her trucks lean over repeating it. Thomas sliding down the hill with fewer trucks and her leading wheels rolling as she pushed.
One thing that I feel people don't give enough credit to is how heavy human passengers are. There is a famous story, and accompanying photo, of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge. On its first day, they allowed people to mingle on the bridge, to revel in its glory. That event was the most strain the bridge had ever endured. Even now with 80,000 pound semis and all kinds of cars, the weight factor of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people was greater. I used to be a transit driver myself, the calculation I would do is 250 pounds per person, that includes their weight and any affects they have with them. When you have 50 people on a bus, that is 12,500 pounds, and I've had as many as 80 people in a transit bus, yes it was standing room only.
6:38 *HMMMMM* INDEAOD. 10:48 JESUS! 3 year old me was already terrified of this episode and Thomas comes to Breakfast. This just makes it even more terrifying for me now that I know there were shots of a smiling Duck crashing into a barber shop out there and could’ve been in this episode.😨
I think this video made me realized that the hit era of the show was my childhood, because i remembered a bunch of the scenes from season 7, 8 and 9 and i got a bunch of Nostalgia for it, as well as Hero of the Rails
The only thing that I think was “missed” was an implied scene from Percy’s New Whistle; indicated by the same Steamies vs Diesels game that mentioned Bill & Ben’s appearance in Thomas to the Rescue. However, I don’t think any visual representation of this scene is known to exist. There are also a couple of promo images I’ve seen implying deleted scenes in As Good as Gordon and Chickens to School. But again, no footage as far as I know.
It’s worth mentioning that the scene of Gordon and Henry teasing Donald and Douglas doesn’t actually appear in the leaked script. Obviously it could’ve been an early draft, but alternatively it means there was a deleted scene *inside* a deleted episode
47:20 The possible reason that the engines have their angry faces could be that the footage was for when the engines are judging Harvey in the beginning of the episode, however someone at the studio screwed up with the footage. Note that Edward now has his angry face compared to when he had the sad face in the episode.
This video is an emotional journey. Starting with mundane extra shots, moving into instances of entire plots or subplots being cut out, and ending with a bunch of white guys who have never been to Mexico making something absurdly racist. 10/10 would rent a theater to view this in.
I think it was hypocritical of Britt to say The Missing Coach would be too confusing for young children. The Diseasel had a similar premise with Bill and Ben; Removing their nameplates to confuse Boco out of revenge for taking their trucks. So how did Britt think The Missing Coach would confuse children but not think The Diseasel would?
I also believe that the scene of Truro, Thomas and Gordon was cut due to the fact that HE HAS NO FACE. All the kids would've been confused, saying, "Why doesn't he have a face!?" And would've been SO AKWARD AND CONFUSING FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES! 😊❤ Thomas wasn't shown to be a fake yet. 😂
I tell ya something, Tug. I never knew about MOST of the Model Series deleted scenes. And I was completely surprised about that deleted scene with Carlos in the BWBA movie when I first saw it back in 2018.
In Season 9 Molly's Special Special. It had a few deleted scenes. A scene at Kirk Ronan Junction where Gordon makes fun of Molly. And a scene of Thomas and Molly crossing a bridge.
Love it!!!!!! I think Shout Factory should re-release the entire model/CGI series of both dubs along with Shining Time Station/Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales on Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital, and buy all the deleted footage from Mattel (especially the Unaired Pilot/The Missing Coach). They seem to care more about Obscure Franchises with Cult Followings than Mattel does, and maybe The Smithsonian or The British Museum of National History should buy/preserve all remaining props/figures/models from the Warehouse and Thomas Land Display, and make Thomas Display Halls with them. Or, in Virginia, where I live, is an empty Museum Building that used to be P. Buckley Moss for Art until it moved for whatever reason, but maybe it could be a Pop Culture Museum for all franchises, including some from Thomas. It's huge and has been standing there on a large stretch of land next to a Shopping Center with McDonald's/Chick FIL A/Taco Bell/Target/Kohls/Old Navy/PetSmart/Books a Million/Ross/etc. with some Apartments currently being built behind the stores, and I would love to see a Museum Building with that amount of land being put to good use for many Film/TV Artifacts like the ones from Thomas that are scattered around.
Why do i feel like if they kept the peter sam arriving to the sheds in the wpisode the magic lamp... it would zoom out to see proteus before he chuffs back into the mist😂
In terms of deleted scenes left out in this video, there is a head-on shot of Percy in Duck Takes Charge, used in some books. He's smiling directly at the camera, and it's very unnerving.
I'm hoping ThomasTankMerch will get to upload any rushes of the missing coach, then people can edit how the episode would've played out in 4:30 minutes.
The scene where Gordon is passing by Edward and Duck we see him on the middle line. The episode before that ‘Time For Trouble’ we a see a longer version of him passing through Wellsworth. I’m only guessing that they wanted to use stock footage because it would’ve been easier because they already had a shot of Gordon passing through Wellsworth.
I have a small book that is basically "The Trouble with Mud" in picture form, and I _just_ realised that the hill scene in the book (which are the stills of the original cut) was different from the actual episode.
30:38 Um, Skarloey is not a main character in this episode, Unlucky Tug. Duncan was the only one. 31:23 TWO main characters, Unlucky Tug. Skarloey was only a SUPPORTING character for this episode. 35:58 Fun Fact: Some of the flowers are actually BROCCOLI. 44:25 That actually would have made the episode MORE good. 45:32 Wait a minute, didn't you say it was PROTEUS who fell off the old iron bridge? 57:44 Gordon: "PAH! A little tank engine afraid of one bend?" Henry: "Don't listen to Gordon, Thomas. Difficult bends happen to any engine. I once went around a difficult bend thinking I saw a ghost at Old Bailey's Station." 59:00 Spencer: "Do you ever give up, slow coach? You couldn't manage a goods train without one COW to mess it up!" 1:07:12 The episode's ACTUAL main characters, might I add. Thomas and Emily were just supporting characters. 1:08:58 Sharon Miller's BIG debut to the franchise. 1:15:51 Actually, UT, there is a GOOD explanation that I thought up just now. If the original crash happened, the green express coaches would have sustained MAJOR damages. And I don't think Sharon wanted to cause HiT to spend ANY more pounds on model repairs.
9:25 A book I had when I was 5 years old that used this photo for the scene where Thomas tells Percy about the time he ''Went past ''DANGER'' and fell into a mine'' I was so confused why Percy had grime on him.
For the question about the green and red coaches in Trouble with Mud, Maybe what happened was that the green express coaches were intended to be used, but because acording to BTS photos, they were longer than the red coaches, so if James was going up the hill being pushed by Gordon, perhaps the train was so long that you could not see Gordon. Now there is the argument that the red coaches are seen before that scene and they just used them to keep the episode consistent, well thats probably what happened and im just overthinking this all lol Also, I think Tug forgot the ghost engine deleted scene in "Duncan Gets Spooked"
4.49 "It's a pretty simple [set] and it looks a bit thrown together" Like the mini-Elsbridge from "Thomas Goes Fishing"? 🙂 A video on some of the set oddities would be interesting.
Yes what i mentioned and described is part of the big engines' characters but they should know better since seasons 1 & 2. They have correctly changed in some HIT era episodes and Henry is no exception.
Great video Tug! Love videos like this showing the behind the scenes stuff. Makes me wonder if any props or sets from Shining Time Station are left. Id love to see a video showing how many of the original sets and props made it into preservation by either museum or private collection
The missing coach: to the credit of you and the photos, the WAY you tell the story makes significantly more sense than the book. With the passengers in the coach shunted away make so much more sense. Even the servicing idea. Had they went with that, that would’ve made more sense
You're missing a deleted scene from Gordon and the Famous Visitor. It's seen in the original Thomas' Anthem music video. There's also a deleted scene from Oliver Owns Up in the same music video. Pretty much that whole music video was comprised of deleted scenes.
It goes without saying the love put into the series filming all those scenes. Imagine your day job working on the biggest model railway on TV. How could you pass that up? Working on a computer at a desk just wouldn't cut it.
Also regarding deleted scenes from the model series, IIRC Ryan Hagan claimed there was a massive amount cut from Day of the Diesels. No idea if that's true, though...
You wanna know what sucks? There's a possibility that SiF have access to who knows how much unseen footage/photos from the model series that they can't/won't share. I've heard they've even seen the pilot by now.
1:10:38 I kind of imagine too that they may have axed this scene since the 'devil' costume in of itself may have offended religious audiences and they probably wouldn't have wanted to deal with any potential controversy lol
1:15:52 I think this scene was cut because the climax would not have been Percy's fault. If they really crashed because the signalman wasn't paying attention then the crash would be his fault and not Percy's
9:44 what I think happened was that the story was going to be a little different then the rws dub they would use another engine to pull Percy out then that's when he would bypass Thomas and he would be laughing at him
I didn't know alot of the shots that were deleted were used in music videos. I owed alot of old Thomas vhs tapes that had music in-between episodes so I've seen a lot of these and was a little confused. 😂😅
BWBA, in its entirety, Carlos Bit included, was leaked online before its official release. So that's how it got online. I can't remember who leaked it, though.
I think there’s one more deleted scene you missed. In A Scarf For Percy, when Percy crashes into the trolley and gets covered in jam, luggage and clothes, there were two brief shots of a truck laughing before getting splattered with jam. Unless this doesn’t count? There’s also a deleted scene of Emily in As Good as Gordon with Percy which basically goes the same way as her argument with James at the water tower. Only difference is taking on coal.
This looks really cool also I was thinking maybe you should an 11 more episodes you should watch video since you made 10 more hidden gems video and that’s basically the cgi version of the 11 episodes video so you should do a video talking about 11 more model series episodes and definitely include some from series 6 and 7 and the hit era
9:24 i think whats happening here is that after percy is back on the rails thomas sees percy covered in his mud and then thomas starts laughing at percy but i guess this was cut bcuz it wouldn't make sense for percy to be back on the rails after the shot of Henry teasing percy you can also tell by looking at thomas face that he has his excited Season 2 face so it looks like thomas is laughing at percy
Seeing a lot of comments regarding the unused shot of the ghost engine from Duncan Gets Spooked. I didn't include that because it is just an alternate shot of it traveling, and there isn't much to say about it other than "it's neat seeing it from a different angle". It's an awesome shot though, no doubt!
what about truck scene in a scarf for Percy
It’s definitely an awesome shot for sure
Alternate shots, huh? Sounds like another possible video idea. Comparing it to the used shot.
@@aoiasahinashusband that what I was thinking. It would’ve made a funny scene. The car could be laughing at Percy when he crashes into the baggage trolley, only to get splashed with jam
@@aoiasahinashusband that scene is absolutely gold but it's like 2 seconds long, not as much to say compared to the ghost story engine
2008 - 2013 = Golden age of Thomas parodies.
2014 - 2019 = Golden age of Thomas fan stories.
2020 - present = Golden age of Thomas critical analysis.
I wish he'd do a Top 10/20 best fan stories, including "The Good Old Days". Arguably better than most of the Hit/Mattel era stuff.

They seem to care more about Obscure Franchises with Cult Followings than Mattel does, and maybe The Smithsonian or The British Museum of National History should buy/preserve all remaining props/figures/models from the Warehouse and Thomas Land Display, and make Thomas Display Halls with them. Or, in Virginia, where I live, is an empty Museum Building that used to be P. Buckley Moss for Art until it moved for whatever reason, but maybe it could be a Pop Culture Museum for all franchises, including some from Thomas. It's huge and has been standing there on a large stretch of land next to a Shopping Center with McDonald's/Chick FIL A/Taco Bell/Target/Kohls/Old Navy/PetSmart/Books a Million/Ross/etc. with some Apartments currently being built behind the stores, and I would love to see a Museum Building with that amount of land being put to good use for many Film/TV Artifacts like the ones from Thomas that are scattered around.
Why do i feel like if they kept the peter sam arriving to the sheds in the wpisode the magic lamp... it would zoom out to see proteus before he chuffs back into the mist😂
In terms of deleted scenes left out in this video, there is a head-on shot of Percy in Duck Takes Charge, used in some books. He's smiling directly at the camera, and it's very unnerving.
That deleted scene from Spencer and Gordon, you nailed the narrator’s voice!
I'm hoping ThomasTankMerch will get to upload any rushes of the missing coach, then people can edit how the episode would've played out in 4:30 minutes.
21:10 Wait you forgot that shot of thomas pulling into elsbridge with dragon and Gordon passing percy instead of james
9:34 my theory is that they wanted a scene of thomas making fun of percy right after the "the morning after" scene.
While watching the part with Wooly Bear, I got an ad for Percy Jackson saying "Percy, you are magical." He truly is!
1:23:53 Pinocchio reference 🤣🤣 “GET ME OUT OF HERE!”
9:54 i was expecting a "DON'T CALL ME DIRTY PERCY!!!" moment.
The scene where Gordon is passing by Edward and Duck we see him on the middle line. The episode before that ‘Time For Trouble’ we a see a longer version of him passing through Wellsworth. I’m only guessing that they wanted to use stock footage because it would’ve been easier because they already had a shot of Gordon passing through Wellsworth.
I have a small book that is basically "The Trouble with Mud" in picture form, and I _just_ realised that the hill scene in the book (which are the stills of the original cut) was different from the actual episode.
30:38 Um, Skarloey is not a main character in this episode, Unlucky Tug. Duncan was the only one.
31:23 TWO main characters, Unlucky Tug. Skarloey was only a SUPPORTING character for this episode.
35:58 Fun Fact: Some of the flowers are actually BROCCOLI.
44:25 That actually would have made the episode MORE good.
45:32 Wait a minute, didn't you say it was PROTEUS who fell off the old iron bridge?
57:44
Gordon: "PAH! A little tank engine afraid of one bend?"
Henry: "Don't listen to Gordon, Thomas. Difficult bends happen to any engine. I once went around a difficult bend thinking I saw a ghost at Old Bailey's Station."
59:00 Spencer: "Do you ever give up, slow coach? You couldn't manage a goods train without one COW to mess it up!"
1:07:12 The episode's ACTUAL main characters, might I add. Thomas and Emily were just supporting characters.
1:08:58 Sharon Miller's BIG debut to the franchise.
1:15:51 Actually, UT, there is a GOOD explanation that I thought up just now. If the original crash happened, the green express coaches would have sustained MAJOR damages. And I don't think Sharon wanted to cause HiT to spend ANY more pounds on model repairs.
47:17, I think this scene is actually an alternate version of when the engines were judging Harvey, near the beginning of the episode.
9:25 A book I had when I was 5 years old that used this photo for the scene where Thomas tells Percy about the time he ''Went past ''DANGER'' and fell into a mine'' I was so confused why Percy had grime on him.
For the question about the green and red coaches in Trouble with Mud, Maybe what happened was that the green express coaches were intended to be used, but because acording to BTS photos, they were longer than the red coaches, so if James was going up the hill being pushed by Gordon, perhaps the train was so long that you could not see Gordon. Now there is the argument that the red coaches are seen before that scene and they just used them to keep the episode consistent, well thats probably what happened and im just overthinking this all lol
Also, I think Tug forgot the ghost engine deleted scene in "Duncan Gets Spooked"
This video was made in my birthday!
Its a shame some of these were deleted. Arthur with the Express looks absolutely stunning!
4.49 "It's a pretty simple [set] and it looks a bit thrown together"
Like the mini-Elsbridge from "Thomas Goes Fishing"? 🙂
A video on some of the set oddities would be interesting.
Yes what i mentioned and described is part of the big engines' characters but they should know better since seasons 1 & 2. They have correctly changed in some HIT era episodes and Henry is no exception.
7:23 that was an indicator of an injury? All this time, I thought he just had a pointy hat.
Great video Tug! Love videos like this showing the behind the scenes stuff. Makes me wonder if any props or sets from Shining Time Station are left.
Id love to see a video showing how many of the original sets and props made it into preservation by either museum or private collection
The missing coach: to the credit of you and the photos, the WAY you tell the story makes significantly more sense than the book. With the passengers in the coach shunted away make so much more sense. Even the servicing idea. Had they went with that, that would’ve made more sense
sweet mother of god i opened youtube to have something to watch during lunch, i guess lunch is an hour and a half today
Man Seasons 5 and 8 had a lot cut out that should've stayed in.
You're missing a deleted scene from Gordon and the Famous Visitor. It's seen in the original Thomas' Anthem music video.
There's also a deleted scene from Oliver Owns Up in the same music video. Pretty much that whole music video was comprised of deleted scenes.
I like how even ace looks uncomfortable with carlos
I'm kinda disappointed you didn't cover the deleted scene of Rusty's Ghost Engine approaching the Bridge in Duncan Gets Spooked
It goes without saying the love put into the series filming all those scenes. Imagine your day job working on the biggest model railway on TV.
How could you pass that up? Working on a computer at a desk just wouldn't cut it.
Also regarding deleted scenes from the model series, IIRC Ryan Hagan claimed there was a massive amount cut from Day of the Diesels. No idea if that's true, though...
You wanna know what sucks? There's a possibility that SiF have access to who knows how much unseen footage/photos from the model series that they can't/won't share. I've heard they've even seen the pilot by now.
1:10:38 I kind of imagine too that they may have axed this scene since the 'devil' costume in of itself may have offended religious audiences and they probably wouldn't have wanted to deal with any potential controversy lol
You forgot about the Troublesome Truck getting jam on itself in Scarf for Percy
23:01 honestly, I’m kinda glad Diesel wasn’t in this episode, he just wouldn’t have added anything to the plot
10:21 I got an ad as soon as he crashed
The sence of Arthur pulling the express was in the music video the whistle song
Quite fun video about that small facts ant trinkets about The Island of Sodor, that aren't that much talked about.
I LOVE THESE LONG ANALISYS VIDEOS!
1:15:52 I think this scene was cut because the climax would not have been Percy's fault. If they really crashed because the signalman wasn't paying attention then the crash would be his fault and not Percy's
9:34 they probably put him after they fished him out and Thomas saying something like I told u so or something
9:44 what I think happened was that the story was going to be a little different then the rws dub they would use another engine to pull Percy out then that's when he would bypass Thomas and he would be laughing at him
I didn't know alot of the shots that were deleted were used in music videos. I owed alot of old Thomas vhs tapes that had music in-between episodes so I've seen a lot of these and was a little confused. 😂😅
BWBA, in its entirety, Carlos Bit included, was leaked online before its official release. So that's how it got online.
I can't remember who leaked it, though.
At 1:10:49 the way you described Sir Topam Hatt in a devil costume had me laughing so hard!!!! “Man boobs, belly button, and all!!!!!”
49:49 the impression is really perfect
I think there’s one more deleted scene you missed. In A Scarf For Percy, when Percy crashes into the trolley and gets covered in jam, luggage and clothes, there were two brief shots of a truck laughing before getting splattered with jam. Unless this doesn’t count? There’s also a deleted scene of Emily in As Good as Gordon with Percy which basically goes the same way as her argument with James at the water tower. Only difference is taking on coal.
Kinda weird that you did not talk about the windmill scene from calling all engines
9:54DON'T CALL ME DIRTY PERCY!🤣🤣
49:40 Insanely good Michael Brandon James impression
It was actually Michael Angelis (1944-2020)
This looks really cool also I was thinking maybe you should an 11 more episodes you should watch video since you made 10 more hidden gems video and that’s basically the cgi version of the 11 episodes video so you should do a video talking about 11 more model series episodes and definitely include some from series 6 and 7 and the hit era
It never clicked with me until now that the reason Henry had to go again was because he never delivered his train the previous night.
9:24 i think whats happening here is that after percy is back on the rails thomas sees percy covered in his mud and then thomas starts laughing at percy but i guess this was cut bcuz it wouldn't make sense for percy to be back on the rails after the shot of Henry teasing percy you can also tell by looking at thomas face that he has his excited Season 2 face so it looks like thomas is laughing at percy
I would like to see a video of "Thomas and friends references or mentions in other TV shows or movies"
