    which do you prefer; the old Thomas the tank engine where the models were used and he had a scouse accent, or this new fangled c.g.i. stuff, because this new cgi stuff just loses all sense of reality for me and looks false.................................

    I'm a traditionalist

    I prefer the old models, with the stories being narrated by Ringo Starr. The new episodes, and their C.G.I. format, have obviously been made with children in mind!:D

    I'm with BigLil on this.

    The new ones are just not the same. Much prefer Ringo Starr or Michael Angelis doing the voices, rather than just narrating.

    Re: I'm a traditionalist

    yes I know what you mean, theres a certain intrinsic artistic value to the models and a sense of reality that can be applied to some of modern societies moral delema's with the way the models play out the scenaros. where as the cgi is just 5hite

    A bit more of a technical explanation than I could manage, but yes, you're right.:D

    Re: We ought to have

    I have got a multitude of Thomas DVDs here, I know where I can "borrow" a Thomas train set too :rolleyes:, plus there is also the Thomas ringtone on "she who must be obeyed` phone and the ride on train and track !
    Then we could sit down and watch all the Peppa Pig DVD`s
