Thomas and Friends (series 9)

Thomas And Friends (series 9)

Thomas & Friends (previously known as Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends) is a children's television series about the engines and other characters working on the railways of the Island of Sodor, and is based on The Railway Series books written by the Rev. W. Awdry.

This article lists and details episodes from the ninth Series of this show, which was first broadcast between 2 September 2005 and 25 November 2005. This Series is narrated by Michael Angelis for the UK audiences, although Michael Brandon narrated the episodes for the US audiences.

Starting in this season, at the beginning of each show, the characters' numbers would appear on each cab starting from Henry to Edward to Thomas as the countdown (along with the TV rating), the workmen would then get Thomas ready for the new day and Thomas' driver would signal the workmen that Thomas is ready by blowing Thomas' whistle and Thomas would start his adventures. Towards the end of each show, the countdown would begin again, Thomas would return to the station (since it is late), the workmen would get Thomas ready for tomorrow, and Thomas would go to sleep with a white sleeping cap with blue stripes on his funnel. In later seasons, these sketches would be shortened because the series would be funded by LEGO Duplo.
