August Update!

Here's the news from me:

Richie has stepped down from Season 7 for personal reasons. He played several large roles including Percy, James and Cranky. He stepped down just days before the season is due to be shown on YouTube. An appeal in the form of an audition video has been launched on YouTube. Some roles have already been filled.

We wish Richie the best of luck for his upcoming projects including "The Fergus Chronicles" in which I voice Fergus. Richie intends to return to the series to voice his regular roles next year.

Also, an audiobook of "Day of the Diesels" has been released on YouTube. It's my biggest audiobook yet, but be warned before you watch it - it does contain spoilers from the special!

Finally, a promo for the seventh season of my series has been released on YouTube ahead of its release on Monday August 29th, 2011.

Another Audiobook released!

A new story featured in a recent Thomas & Friends magazine makes it to my YouTube channel. This one is based on the fourteenth season episode, Jumping Jobi Wood!

Tomorrow I will be working on a video showcasing Thomas & Friends items I bought a car boot sale today (Sunday 7th, August). There are some quite rare items amongst it, so watch out for that. It should be uploaded tomorrow.

TheTopHatts takes Harold

TheTopHatts who was originally cast as Harold's Pilot, the Wellsworth Stationmaster and a Troublesome Truck has agreed to take over the role of Harold from SteamTeamRedubUK who stepped down from the role yesterday. 

In doing so, he agreed to let me recast the role of Harold's Pilot who my producer, C.E., will now be voicing. 

In other news, an audiobook will be released later this week. It will be of the magazine story "Jumping Jobi Wood" which is based on the fourteenth season episode. 

A Special Treat on YouTube!

The rhyming magazine story, A Special Treat!, is now on YouTube. It's very short and runs for just over one and a half minute, but I do like this one!

In other news, BramGroatFilms has joined my series voicing Diesel's Driver and Gordon's Fireman.

Eighth episode done!

The eighth episode, Percy's Postal Problem, has been filmed. Although its the eighth to be filmed, it will probably be the first episode to be released!

Filming will resume shortly with "Signal Work". The last episode, "Gordon's Ghost Story", will be filmed next month.

Here's a photo:

Percy's Postal Problem partly filmed!

The first half of the episode Percy's Postal Problem has been filmed. This was one of the most challenging episode to film because of all the set changes involved. The chase scene was quite hard too!

This episode, written by Richie, is likely to be the first episode to be released on August 29th, 2011. Filming of the second half of the episode should take place tomorrow.

Also, on my YouTube channel right now is my latest charity shop finds. Please go and check it out, read the video's description and comment! The items include a My First Oliver, some Story Library titles and a Story Treasury as well as a mysterious tiny Thomas model. Click the link at the bottom of this blog post to go to the video.

This means that the parts of the Trucks and the Rescue Worker are no longer available.
