I only scratched the surface in this video, so if you want me to make a part 2, please like the video.

I think the reason Flying Kipper had the top part cropped was because there was something in the top of the frame for one shot that they wanted to remove, but accidentally cropped the top of the frame for a longer sequence than intended (which led to Henry's nighttime run, while still beautiful, not AS beautiful as in the original version)

The restored versions are fine in my opinion, but I agree that they do have a few screw-ups (in some like Thomas & Gordon, Coal, No Joke for James, Buzz Buzz, Trust Thomas, One Good Turn, Woolly Bear, Old Iron, Percy & the Signal, Break Van and The Deputation for example).

I used to use the Restored versions for my remakes because, well… it’s the better audio quality lol, regardless, this video was really good. Good job, Joey!

Percy telling the scary ghost story at night kinda works better if you think about

TBH I Cant Watch The Restored Episodes From Seasons 1,2,3 Because Of The Australian Broadcasting Copyright System 😔

I couldn’t agree more

NGL, the original masters feel so cozy to me

Can’t wait!!!!

Something tells me that when they were restoring rushes from old screen to rescanned hd, they probably couldn't rescan the original shots and only got to restore alternative shots.

I've never knew the Percy telling the Ghost story scene in Ghost train took place in the day, and I never knew about the original masters

Whoever was in charge of editing the restored versions of Thomas episodes sure did a piss-pour job.

In the 80s and 90s TV's in homes were nearly all still cathode ray tube sets which began noticably curving away at the edges of the picture, with the set's plastic frame normally overlapping that area to mask it. This meant that many TV shows that survive from the 50s-90s recorded and broadcast a slightly larger picture than would have been seen at home by the viewers, and that VHS releases of the time (with less lines of picture information available to them anyway) would also not reveal this fact. It was only with DVD releases in the late 90s and beyond, plus modern screens that rendered the whole picture right to the very edge of the frame, that these shows suddenly appeared to veiwers to have a larger picture than they had seen before, and it is now very common on DVDs and streaming to see shots from older shows that have random bits of equipment poking into the edge of the frame, particularly boom mics in live action programmes, because at the time they made those shows they knew the offending bit of equipment invading the frame would not actually be seen by viewers anyway so they never bothered to either do a retake (which was costly and time -comsuming in that era) or edit it out in post. It's possible that many of the instances in the restored 'Thomas' of being more zoomed out, and of revealing bits of equipment, are actually down to this effect. Possibly the oddly zoomed in ones are over zealous attempts to remove the more egregious examples of invading equipment, the ones they thought that modern viewers were most likely to spot if they left them in.

I have noticed the scene in Henry's special coal before.

Bro I never knew about any of this and now I cant unsee it -

I haven't seen your content in years, wow you've gotten a lot better (and your content was still some of the best TTTE content)! Keep it up! Also that restored outtake in coal made me mad

I also wonder why The Restored Version of Thomas Gets Tricked (USA Version of Thomas and Gordon) that was used for Sprout/Prime/Roku Channel with George Carlin's Narration had a brief snippet of Ringo Starr's Narration (In the scene of Thomas and Gordon arriving at Wellsworth, and Thomas getting on the Turntable), but it was somehow fixed for the Halloween DVD Release. It's also weird how many of George Carlin's Rare Narrations were found and somehow used in HQ for the Restored Versions.
