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.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or series:
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
