I want to say thank you for doing a Spot the Differences video for the Railway Series book of Thomas' Christmas Party. But also in the adaption, both of Thomas' coaches were present, but one of them suddenly disappears for a moment when Thomas and Toby are backed down to the sheds. However in a rare picture while Thomas and Toby are backed down to the sheds, both Annie and Clarabel are still present.

I honestly never realised till a few years ago one of Thomas' coaches was missing! Gosh!

[@bennythevultureofficial]

When will you do a Spot the Differences video for Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree?

[@lordseelenfresserdemonking1168]

David mitton was a legend I'm getting into model making like him

[@UsefulEngine11]

I was wondering what was going to happen to this little series after the last book Spot the Difference and I guess my question was answered. Not to mention this is just in time for Christmas. What another fantastic Spot the Difference this was! Great work Jeffrey!

[@callum110597]

I never had the book, but gosh, so many differences already! 😲 I think if "Mrs Kyndley's Christmas" was adapted for Thomas & Friends, it would've made more sense for that story to be referenced in "Thomas' Christmas Party".

[@josephmarrison4606]

LOL. I love The Postman Pat scene added in Jeffrey. Clever crossover that. This video was a nice one.

[@THOMASINTHE1980S]

I hope you do "Thomas & Trevor" & "Thomas & the missing Christmas Tree", the former being written for the 1988 Annual.

HE'S BACK

[@NewController01]

You kinda missed one other detail, Henry was reverted back into his old shape for the party for unexplained reasons

3:50 "...do you realize it's been a whole year since..."

[@JamesThePig007]

There's only one left now: "Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree"

9:27 The ending has iago voice, may he Rest In Peace this year

[@Zacman1123]

What an interesting Christmas present.

[@ValentinSparkle16]

It Was Absoluetly Amazing BFF, This Was A Very Faithfull Adaptation To The Original Story! And An Excellent Christmas Special!😁😁🎅🏻🎅🏻☃️☃️❄❄🎄🎄

[@thomasegcouplesandships1956]

Super agreed for sure on this one BFF! We love anything adapted from the Railway Series!

[@houseofthesupermen377]

To clarify, Mrs. Kindley's Christmas and the rest of Toby the Tram Engine takes place in 1951, while this book takes place in 1952, during Gordon's book, but presumably before Down the Mine. Also, the sheds are meant to have that previous shape from the 10 previous books, but next to it is the opening to the roundhouse. You can see this in the illustration where Thomas and Toby are going back to the dark yards before the lights turn on. But other than that, its great to see you're back man. I love the added comedy with the memes and edits. I'd also love to see anymore reviews you'd do as Jeffrey Kitsch like the TATMR one you did half a decade ago (man its been that long). You have such natural charisma and great voice delivery (as well as a great voice in general).

[@thomasegcouplesandships1956]

I really enjoyed this one. Thomas' Christmas Party would definitely have to be one of the most faithful Railway Series adaptations in my opinion! All the scenes are recreated quite well, and it's quite hard to hate this one! 😁😁😆😆🎅🎅🎄🎄❄❄☃️☃️🎁🎁

[@Thomasfan2011]

RIP spot the difference the series had a good run

[@permvw]

That’s another great video and a perfect Christmas Surprise. Many thanks Jeffrey and Happy Christmas 🎄

[@notcardlinsytaccount1355]

Seasons greetings!

[@enginenumber14]

I Hope you’ll eventually do Thomas and The missing Christmas Tree too next.

[@kevin-2.1]

Very nice spot the difference between the books & tv series. It would be nice to see Mr. kindly in the TV series & to have a specking line. Also Mrs. Kindly getting plastic surgery 😳, surprise to hear that one.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

We should Wilbert Awdry credit for this story as well as Britt Allcroft and David Mitton

[@SodorTrain1225]

8:07 I never noticed this before, but the Fat Controller is standing on LEGO bricks.

[@therwsgeek683]

I found a copy of the original RWS book for only 8 dollars a couple of days ago.

[@harrisonallen651]

“They’re not the king and queen for Christ sakes…” - too soon regarding the queen, yes.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

The events of Mrs. KYNDLEY’S Christmas happen in 1951 in the RWS, and Thomas’s Christmas party happen in 1952

[@Mskart109]

That leaves one more left

[@primrosevale1995]

It should be noted that the roundhouse is supposed to be behind the original Tidmouth Sheds in _TRS._

[@sarahhockey02]

Thank you for this video

[@sealionstudios8597]

Merry Christmas ✌️🎄

[@oscarthepurplek2152]

u came back, thank you

[@samuelfarris1949]

Say Jeffrey, you do know that there are still the Series 3 episodes (and 'Thomas and the Rumours' from Season 5) which were adapted from magazine stories, as cited on the Thomas & Friends Fandom Wiki. You could cover those. Regards, Samuel Farris.

[@joshuaW5621]

Funny fact, this story takes place before Paint Pots and Queens, which means that Thomas and Gordon should still be in disgrace.

[@abbeyroadfan94-J.P]

amazing video

[@billybath2140]

I think it was a good way to end the first season

[@frogmouth2]

Damn no human sized lego bricks in the book version? Appalling and unreadable.

[@mariobabbo3497]

Original by Britt Allcroft & David Mitton

[@greenninjalloyd4376]

You could also do Thomas & The Missing Christmas Tree.

[@AlexPerrine]

I agree

[@RBenjo21]

Doesn’t the episode state “it’s a whole year since Mrs Kyndley…”? Also, surely the book is the adaptation here and not the other way round? 😉

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

Overall, an amazing comparison! Only one more book to go!

[@gregkiteos1936]

Funniest comparison video yet.
