Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends - Bumper Special: Thomas Gets Bumped and 17 Other Stories [VHS]

Product Information

The image of Harold on the 2003/2006 cover is the same as the one used for Spills and Chills and Other Thomas Thrills. Quotes Percy: [after the signal drops] Hurry up, Thomas! If you're late, the Fat Controller may get a new engine to replace you. Thomas: He would never do that!

On the week this episode and Henry's Forest made their television debut, TV Times held a competition with the deadline of 1 May 1992. Fans had to write the correct names of three engines as pictured in a scene from Woolly Bear and send in their answers. Seven winners would receive an array of various assorted Thomas goods as their prize.The twins' drivers said they will take away the names and numbers but the twins were not given numbers in the television series. This is due to the script for the episode being taken verbatim from the original story. Additionally, production images from Series 2 reveal that Bill and Ben originally had numbers above their faces, so it is possible that the script was written before their numbers were removed and never changed.

The Video Collection children's trailer from 1993 with clips of "Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends", "Rosie & Jim", "Tots TV" and "The Wind in the Willows". When Thomas is seen leaving the station, he blows off steam but it suddenly disappears as another train comes in, thus indicating a film cut. Every afternoon, Thomas puffs along his branch line with Annie and Clarabel. They pass the watermill, then come to a big farm and see a village nestled either side of it. Whenever children hear Thomas coming, they stand on the bridge to wave at him.

The title is a portmanteau of the words disease and diesel. In some foreign dubs, the portmanteau was not able to be properly translated and the title was simply translated as "Diesel." In the Norwegian releases, the description says that Toby is bigger than Thomas and that he lives at Tidmouth Sheds. PEEP-PEEP! Join all your friends - Edward, Gordon, Percy, and Thomas for exciting new escapades on the Island of Sodor! Everyone's excited when an important engine visits the yard, Harold thinks he can deliver the mail better than Thomas and Percy, and Edward and Trevor prove that despite being older, they are Really Useful!
