Series 1

The first series of The Stories of Thomas & Friends premiered on 4th September 2022 on YouTube. Random Name narrated all twenty-four episodes in the UK Dub.

Production
The majority of the stories were originally written by the Reverend W. Awdry. However, other Thomas fans' stories were adapted into the first series, with writers like The Burried Truck.

The Missing Coach, Gordon Goes Foreign and Triple Header were originally considered to be in the first series but were dropped and replaced by Wilbert & Christopher Awdry's book. The reason behind is because of how the episodes didn't fit to be in the first series and were added into the upcoming series of the show. Thomas & The Evil Diesel was supposed to be the first episode of the series, but the episode was dropped because it didn't fit as a first episode of the series, instead, they went with Thomas & Gordon.

The music of the series were composed by Sudrian Afro, Carson Marenka and Mavis M, and the sound effects by G.W. Shunter.

There are a total of 26 episodes of the first series, all of the episodes last for 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
