Percy in The Television Series
In the Thomas and Friends television series, Percy made his debut in the first season, in an episode called "Trouble in the Shed" which originally aired in 1984.
Out of all the engines, Percy holds the unwanted record of having the most accidents in a series of Thomas and Friends. In series 2, Percy had 5 accidents in "Thomas, Percy and the Coal", "Percy Takes The Plunge", "Percy's Predicament", "Ghost Train", and "Woolly Bear".
His personality has been kept the same, up until about Season 8 when he became more curious about the world around; almost in resemblance to Sesame Street's Elmo. He particularly enjoys pulling the mail train.
From the CGI series version onward, in the US, Percy is voiced by Martin Sherman. In the UK, he is voiced by Keith Wickham.
