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.
A spin-off of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends.

Thomas is carrying the Mayor of Sodor's yacht to the harbour, but goes before the sail can be properly tied down. When Thomas goes through some trees the sail unravels and the wind goes up, blowing Thomas down the track and past the harbour. Thomas realises his mistake and collects an engineer from the harbour to secure the mast again.
On the Island of Sodor, two kinds of engines help keep Sir Topham Hatt's railway running smoothly - steamies and Diesels. But is the island big enough for both? It's not always easy for these engines to put aside their differences and work together. See what happens when the diesels tease Thomas. Will Thomas come to their aid when they need this Really Useful steamie's help? And when Gordon develops some very loud squeaks and rattles, will Sir Topham Hatt retire him to the yard for good? That's what the diesels say! Get on board with the steamies and the Diesels and see how they finally learn that, from brake pipe to buffer, all engines are more alike than not.
Thomas has gotten a special task. He is to deliver a lamp to Sodor's lighthouse, so the ships can make their way. Thomas is told that he must be very careful with the lamp and it must be delivered before it gets dark. Thomas takes the task very seriously, but cannot slow down when he is afraid that he will not get there on time. Suddenly Thomas discovers that there are works on the rails, but he is not able to stop. Thomas must collect a new lamp and once again heads off to Sodor's lighthouse. Will he get there in time?
