Writing
Thomas & Friends is a British children's television series, which had its first broadcast on the ITV network on 4 September 1984. It is based on The Railway Series of books by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son, Christopher Awdry. These books deal with the adventures of a group of anthropomorphised locomotives and road vehicles who live on the fictional Island of Sodor. The books were based on stories Wilbert told to entertain his son, Christopher during his recovery from measles. From Series one to four, many of the stories are based on events from Awdry's personal experience.
The adventures of an average family; a boy, a girl, a dog, a cat, a mouse and ..err, a piece of cheese. What could possibly go wrong?

Part of Boj's skills involve the ability to fix anything that needs it. He is also able to cheer anyone up through silly games, giggly fun, and hugs.
Three unlikely heroes, a cat, a dog and a hamster, battle evil in their city.
