T1E2H3's Top 20 Thomas Episodes: Part 2 (#9-1)

[@comicfan1324]

I wish "haunted Henry" ended with a cliffhanger. They leave you to decide if there's really a ghost or logical explanation.

[@diegrunee2lokomotive899]

Yes.

[@1Korlash]

That's not something TTTE has ever done or ever will. As spooky as the series gets, it's pretty clear that ghosts aren't real in the TTTE universe. Every ghost or monster story has a rational explanation: Percy and Rusty's ghost stories are made up, Henry was frightened by Old Bailey, the smelters ghost engines encounters are always just chains or Arry and Bert, the Castle Loch Monster is actually a bunch of seals, and so on. Of course, nothing's stopping us fans from making their own reimaginings or original ghost stories (many of which I really like), but the main book and TV series haave never seriously entertained the idea that ghosts might be real.

Henry's theme in the Flying Kipper is, in my opinion, one of the greatest renditions in the entire show. The crash is really epic, too. Such a great episode.

[@fantasyaj6510]

I agree with you. Haunted Henry is by far one of the most memorable episodes. I still enjoy rewatching it after all these years! The whole foggy atmosphere was brilliant!

[@ryanr1701]

My favorite episode of all time is Thomas Meets the Queen. I love how it fully connects TTTE to its British routes and the scene when Gordon pulls in with the royal train is magnificent. The last line is also my favorite of any story in the series.

[@danielboone3770]

I love Haunted Henry too. Also I do love Henry in the CGI series only with Micheal Brandon because Henry may sound like a timid Piglet, but he sounds so loyal and just looks so happy. Especially in Hero of The Rails where he sounds kinda nervous when reassuring Thomas.

[@thegermanofsodor]

My all time favourite episodes would have to be: Ghost Train,Haunted Henry and Duncan gets spooked yeah....i love the dark and spooky episode :P

[@Bladee33333]

Yea, Duncan gets spooked is in my top 3 episodes, holy shit was Duncan gets spooked so terrifying!

[@9975praj]

[@LFPman]

28:26 for me... it’s either Toby and the Flood or Stepney gets lost. I watched those over and over as a kid, and it makes me scared. Even as a teenager, it still haunts me.

[@Dingo950]

Haunted Henry is my favourite episode as well. When I first watched It as a kid I was so freaked out I seriously couldn't walk to bed that night.

[@nicholetheotter1957]

That was me too. That scene where Henry first passes through the fog was chilling, especially with that traumatised-looking face on him. It's Thomas & Friends at its spookiest, especially with how well the fog effects were handled.

[@nicholetheotter1957]

I got scared of that episode too when I first watched it, but it's why it's such a great episode. The music, the narrator's lines, the fog effects and Henry's faces were all nailed perfectly.

[@LePenguin]

[@fanofeverything30465]

Me too

[@nicholetheotter1957]

Now my opinion on the second part of your list: 9. Without a doubt one of the best Edward episodes in the series' history. I always felt sorry for Edward when the other engines mocked him for being "old and unreliable" (especially you, Gordon) and he loves to show that age is not a barrier to being a "really useful engine" since he proves to still be a hard worker. Edward managing to get his train delivered despite his running late and the incident with his siderods shows that underneath that friendly face, Edward is a real determinator and that's why I praise him as a character. 8. I never seemed to remember watching this one either, but you have to admit it was funny seeing the Fat Controller feel very determined to get to his wife's party despite all the slapstick that plagued him. It shows that he's more than just boss of his railway, but a man who truly cares about his family. 7. And we get to the episode that started it all as far as spooky Thomas & Friends episodes go. Percy looked so spooky in all that lime, on top of Thomas being told Percy had "died" was frightening but it's all part of why this episode was good. Heck, seeing that illustration from the Railway Series of Percy in his "ghostly" appearance at 5:27 also gave me chills. Great episode. 6. And here's Bill & Ben's debut, and with a comedic episode at that. The interactions between the twins and BoCo are always great with humour, and seeing those hilarious facial reactions on BoCo makes it even more enjoyable for those fans who love the comedic episodes. 5. This was one of the first episodes I ever watched, so you could imagine it was no surprise I developed a soft spot for Henry. I agree with all your points in that this episode nailed scenery, a simple plot that takes a dark turn, and of course that variant of Henry's theme made The Flying Kipper such an iconic episode. And then there's of course Henry's epic crash with the parked goods train, which used to give me chills as a kid. This episode established the Henry we know today - a better, stronger and happier engine, and that this rebuild for him was a well deserved happy ending. The episode was a true day in the limelight for Henry, and significant character development for him. It's why this is still one of the most praised episodes of the entire series to this day. 4. This episode was great for having Douglas in the main role without being overshadowed by his own twin, and as we know, Douglas had come close to being scrapped so you could imagine how his feelings were, coupled by his heroism when he saved Oliver. I can definitely understand all your opinions on why you love Oliver, and had it not been for Douglas we wouldn't have had Oliver become the engine he is now. 3. I surely remember this episode scaring me as a kid, especially since I once had a Thomas & Friends VHS called "Spooks And Surprises". This was one of three episodes from your list featured on this VHS (alongside Rusty And The Boulder and Haunted Henry) so it definitely has a place in my childhood. The bridge scenes, coupled with the mist and the fate of that engine who fell off were all chilling scenes. Duncan's face where he had his eyes shut was also funny to watch. Season 5 knew what it was doing when it came to dark themes for episode plots. 2. Another pair of episodes I used to watch on an old VHS I had, and a great introduction to the Narrow Gauge Railway. Duke's interaction with Stuart and Falcon (aka Peter Sam and Sir Handel) showed that while the other two sometimes picked on Duke for being old, they secretly all cared for each other. The moment where the men discover Duke in the buried shed was a heartwarming moment in itself. And like you said, hopefully Andrew Brenner will one day bring back Duke since it had been over 20 years since his last proper appearance. 1. Given Henry is your fave character, it was no surprise seeing a focus episode of his at the top. This used to scare me to nightmares as a kid, but it's a very well-done episode as far as spooky episodes go. The plot starts off with Edward telling Henry an old myth about an owl's hooting bringing mist and ghosts, and Henry scoffs off at it. Then when Henry travels down the old line, he sees the mist and all the horror unfolding right in front of him and he feels terrified, presented in a way that looks like something out of a horror movie. The next night he is taking a goods train and the trucks even got scared, especially with the gates closing and the signal turning red by themselves, ending with the trucks crashing into a ravine. I often felt Old Bailey reminded me of George Carlin as well for some reason. Still, this was one of the best Henry-focused episodes of the series. I know you have a point with the fandom having a controversial opinion on Henry's personality in the Hit Entertainment era of the show (aka depicting him as a coward) and while I don't have an issue with it since it does make him feel relatable to the target audience, it can still irritate me at times. Thankfully Season 20 has toned that cowardly persona down (he did get two good episodes of that season in Henry Gets The Express and Henry In The Dark, both extremely funny episodes) so I hope Andrew Brenner can keep that up for the next season.

I remember that "Haunted Henry" scared me so much it took me like 4 attempts to fully watch it. It was such a well made episode.

[@todddavis2041]

I generally agree with most of the list! Your take on them all is great, the way you emphasise everything, its really commendable. The Flying Kipper is another episode I only remember watching once on vhs at my cousins, yet I intensely remembered Henry going through that industrial sector, and yes I love the effort the film crew put into this one episode, all shots are wonderful. Although as an Australian I have always preferred the UK Narration, but Carlin and Baldwin have there merits.

[@SodorRailwaysProductions]

Haunted Henry scared me for years. I couldn't watch this episode until I was 8! In fact, the crash scene was used in the the music video of Accidents Will Happen, so I didn't watch neither the episode or music video until years after I first watched them.

[@HotboxHolton]

Wow, it really scared you. The only scary episodes that I don't watch are Percy's Ghostly Trick, Stepney gets Lost and Scaredy Engines. For some reason, when I was younger, I wasn't scared of the episodes or at least watched them but today, I don't watch them unless they are a remake.

[@nicholetheotter1957]

Haunted Henry once scared me too. There's so much with that episode that reminds me of horror movies, and the way the stuff like the music, fog effects and Henry's reactions were all nailed. Season 5 was known for taking risks, but they paid off and that's why it's a memorable season.

Season 5 is amazing but the episode I found the best of it was A Better View For Gordon. It is so unique and that crash is amazing and scary because in deeper thought, Gordon could have fallen down to the ground and become scrap. I also like how they made it more realistic by making Gordon's crew and the Fat Controller get injured. I remember it vaguely as a kid but it is still fantastic, like the rest of Season 5.

[@nicholetheotter1957]

Maddtooner The 1930's Cup The spooky sets were very well done. Absolute shame the CGI switchover ruined Henry’s personality, because he’s not meant to be a wimp. He can be a little scared, but he also has his brave side and the writers need to acknowledge that more.

[@hawkeye5791]

[@tuffpuffjones6821]

My favorite episode is probably any one where Emily is at the center. Why? I have a soft spot for the Stirling Single, but if I had to pick one, it would be No Snow For Thomas, because it balances Thomas and Emily's opinions perfectly. It shows there is a positive side for every negative one!

[@shikishinobi]

Haunted Henry was powerful enough to inspire poetry out of me. I'm willing to put money that you'd be one of the few people who'd appreciate the similarities and how I've woven it all together. I love Henry the most as well. his original trilogy (Coal, Kipper, Sneezes) was one of my favorites growing up, because I could relate a lot to it. And many of the choices here are ones I also think are pretty awesome. And hindsight to my comment on the previous video, you've given me some trivia, with Henry being the first onscreen crash. Although the hand helping Henry crash is a "cannot unsee" (Sorry).

[@GreyLiam]

Haunted Henry is quite good, I even love Shunter's rendition. In his version not only was the ghost real, Kirk Ronans debated if it even moved on after the station was demolished. Sir Topham Hatt asserts the ghost is not welcome on his railway no matter the case.

But since I only saw it once, and when I was very young, I didn't remember it very well, and was seriously wondering if it was just a figment of my imagination. Here I am, over 15 years later...I am very glad to see that it is indeed a real episode.

In my opinion, I think that "Lady Hatt's Birthday Party" is the funniest episode of the series ever, especially considering Alec Baldwin's characterization of Lady Hatt. And I am in full agreement with you, Baldwin did a pretty good job at characterizing Bill and Ben in the fifth season the way George Carlin did. I also think that Ringo Starr is a great narrator, in that he can go action-movie style dramatic when necessary.

For me, Busy Going Backwards is the funniest episode. From the moment Toad and his train cut loose until it gets stopped in the pond, I laughed the entire time! At Toad, the conductor that abandoned train, Gordon, James, the facial expressions, what Toad says, "Help! Save me!" I probably laughed the hardest when Toad sees the buffers and as soon as he says, "Those'll stop me!" the train goes the other direction and then he says, "Oh no! (which sounds like "Moh no!") I'm back on the main line!!!" XD

[@connorflaherty175]

@@gnc623 I don’t disagree that busy going backwards had a lot of hilarity, but lady hatt’s birthday party involved sir topham getting into a pickle every step of the way, ending up looking like a messy-looking drunkard. This was probably first time we actually see sir topham Hatt bumbling. Plus lady hatt’s first line gets me in stitches with how Alec Baldwin voiced her, as well dialogue from George and Caroline.

You know, about the last one, I never saw Stepney Gets Lost as a kid. I only ever saw the Trainz adaptation by Lokboy96 and I love that old Stepney model. Man, I love that model, as well as the old MSTnoodle models and that old Molly model.

[@FlyinBlaney]

My favorite episode 5. Henry Gets The Express 4. Escape 3. Mavis 2. Granpuff/Bulldog/You Can't Win (Which I never saw as a kid)/ Sleeping Beauty 1. Rusty to the Rescue/Thomas and Stepney/Train Stops Play/Bowled Out/Stepney Gets Lost Yes, I know the No./Number 1. is a six-parter, but they can't be separated. You just can't.

[@hoithere902]

One of my favourite's, not in this list, is wrong road ... I was just like YES!! The entire way through it.

[@fenrirslip]

My favorite episode is surprisingly Scaredy Engines. The music in that episode kinda sounds like the music that plays in Dunkin Gets Spooked but it sounds more intimidating and fits very well with the smelters yard. And that whistle that goes off when Thomas releases steam just gives me goosebumps. The overall atmosphere of the smelters yard in that episode just creeped me out, but I loved it because of that.

[@lmonid]

Henry is my favourite character in the railway books 📚📕📗📘📙📚📔📒📓

[@pizzachef3358]

24:16 I love haunted henry, they should make more episodes like this. in fact in the fan made Thomas film I am making I plan on having references to this episode

[@margogoralski6294]

27:34 Yeah, I noticed that, too!

[@hacksawhames6950]

Great list! Keep up the great work!!!

[@TheTankFrog]

When I saw the engine from duncan gets spooked In the scene where the ghost train fall of the bridge. When it plunges into the water I saw that it was painted red. This leads me to belive that the crew used rheneas or skarloey for the shot

[@buzzytrombone4353]

I love how Caroline sounds like Herbert the Pervert in Lady Hatt's Birthday Party.

[@comicfan1324]

The reason the Henry is "a worse" is because one of you ever been locked in the tunnel for weeks most likely going through a terrible storms?

[@nicholetheotter1957]

It was implied that Henry spent over a month locked in that tunnel. No wonder he eventually learned what a huge mistake he made. Then there was the fact he used to be prone to breaking down a lot. It definitely explains why he adapted a more timid and worrisome personality when Hit Entertainment took over.

[@galvatronus1139]

Does anyone else still get on edge when they hear the opening music from Ghost Train? I swear to this day I can't listen to it without tensing up.

[@Bennyboy1985]

Step 1: Wait until late at night. Step 2: Turn all the lights out. Step 3: In the pitch black, play the Ghost Train theme music

[@loganfriend8018]

wE aRe nUmBeR oNe!

[@ronanvave560]

I remember watching Haunted Henry. What scared me most in the episode was that extremely terrifying noise when Henry puffed under the arch bridge, before talking about how silly Edward was being about mists. It made me think that an entity was watching him. It made me reluctant to go to bed.

[@arlesdalefan2615]

First on screen crash is also the first crash to have a hand

[@comicfan1324]

My favorite episode is "Thomas gets tricked"

[@edwardschneider7385]

The Scene From Cranky Bugs where the Runaway Steamship crashes into the sheds was the scariest moment in a Thomas Episode for me. I remember covering my eyes as that seemingly massive and imposing vessel slowly moved toward the tv screen. At the same time the sound of the ship's horn had me hiding under blankets

[@DMac51147]

SEASON 5 FTW I am the biggest fan of S5

[@nicholetheotter1957]

I feel that season is very under-appreciated, but as this two-part Top 20 showed it's actually got a lot of good episodes. The lighting is at least much better than in Season 4, which had too much of a sunset-ish tone.

[@smashingstargamer]

Well you got competition for biggest lover of Season 5 (JOKE)

[@ionehkontehdiabo7627]

TheRetroGamer eww no seasons 1-4 ARE THE BEST

[@motorwayt-s628]

I like that season 5 had all original episodes but they had a station master as a consultant so some of the episodes kept the railway series tradition of basing the stories based on real life events. I also think that most of those episodes could almost pass as railway series stories

[@jamesaustin1988]

I remember being 7 years old, coming home from Trick-or-Treating on Halloween, turning on PBS Sprout, and Haunted Henry was always on. It was one of the few times I saw it as a kid because I didn't have it on DVD or VHS, but boy was it scary to watch on Halloween!

[@steamvsdiesel3606]

i love every single one of the classic episodes of thomas & friends, no thanks to Sharon miller she murdered the series when HIT entertainment took over

[@mralfpit]

Henry used to be such an interesting character in the earlier seasons, always thought it was stupid how they made him sick again after getting his new shape in the later seasons. Good choice for number 1, strongly enough for some reason the scariest part for me as a kid was seeing that mysterious guy come up to Henry on his pump truck thing, it was one of the first times we saw one of the character models move and it was literally haunting lol

[@Wildcatt1999]

I like spooky stuff too.

[@ZstackZip]

Duncan gets spooked’s music makes me SHUDDER when I hear it, and it’s MAGNIFICENT

[@21gummy38]

When I was a kid, I thought that Edward died at the end of Edwards Exploit... I have no idea why I thought that

[@nicholetheotter1957]

You do have to at least praise Edward for how brave he was, and that he's not just a wise old engine. He will never go down without a fight, as that heroic moment of Edward's Exploit showed.

[@JumbleJammyJokes]

That certainly gives new context to the final narration in the episode: “Duck and Boco saw to it that Edward was left in peace. Gordon and James remained respectfully silent.”

[@MaddtoonerThesHedgecup]

Haunted Henry was my favorite episode from season 5 and also one of my favorite episode from the whole series in general

[@williammerkel1410]

The long three-sided tree row in our backyard is kind of old and some of the trees are dying, and at night it is not wise to walk through there and think of Haunted Henry, especially if it is thickly overcast and windy.

[@The8BitNerd]

[@amaze4425]

i really love haunted henry becuase it reminds me a horror epsoide becuase of the trucks face and the trucks fell of a cliff. And once it gave me a nightmare.
