Glenderg Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Havin' a fairly crap week, but this little rant about what those railway characters are doing to corrupt the youth gave me a lift.

BR EGV!! and 186!!), and all they got worked up on was the bloody Thomas The Tank pywood mockup on the main platform. Kids eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 What's weird about the development of the series, it seems, is the difference in interpretation between the UK and US, aside from the really disturbing plots and outcomes. " In the UK version, the Fat Controller says he'll brick Henry up "for always and always and always", while in the US versions, the punishment is only until Henry "is ready to come out of the tunnel I wonder what the Irish version might say....!
