[edit] New characters

I feel it would be very appropriate to include in this article profiles for the new characters, since at this stage it is highly unlikely they will be included in the page Non-rail vehicles (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends).

[edit] 35mm Film

It says here that the series has been filmed with the the 35mm film instead of the digital film. Has HIT decided that digital film doesn't work or something like that?ohyeh 16:11, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. By the looks of it, these are episodes made around the time of Series 6/7 but not released on video or DVD until recently.

[edit] Printing Error

I find it definately odd that the back cover of the DVD states that the narrator is long-time Thomas veteran George Carlin. Anchor Bay usually lets printing errors go by, but this has to be the biggest.

[edit] Recent Vandalism

There's been a thing of vandalism going on in this page, like fake episodes such as "Max, Monty, Emily" and "Snow around the World". And user 81.158.219.3 just vandalised my post up there with his fake episodes! This page is becoming another early Season 10 page! Should we protect it? BigThomasFan

• Again, there is more badly-written fake synopses for fake episodes. I wish people would stop it!

[edit] Comfiremed

James and Henry cameo in A Tale for Thomas go the youtube.com for proof.

• Sighs* Here we go again.

YouTube is NOT proof, for ANYTHING. See: WP:V, WP:RS.

It's true, they do appear. I have seen the episode with my own eyes, both on YouTube and on the DVD it was released on. They don't interact with the Pack though, but only put in a brief appearance during the opening scene at Tidmouth Sheds.

[edit] Accidents?

There seems to be a bit of an obsession about when the characters have their 'first accidents'. Is this really worth including here? It would seem to me detail for detail's sake. EdJogg 13:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name change?

Would it be worth changing the title of this article? It gives the impression that the article is dealing only with the American DVD release, when really it encompasses the UK release too. I think it should be changed, possibly to "Jack and the Pack" or something like that.

I was wondering that. It doesn't make it clear within the article whether it is called On Site with Thomas in the US or not. It just says It is not called On Site with Thomas. Perhaps a simply solution would be for the opening sentence to read On Site with Thomas (UK release: Jack and the Pack is a direct-to video release...... Mdcollins1984 10:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm in the UK, my little boy has a copy of this DVD and it's called "Thomas' Trusty Friends" (see here. It doesn't seem to be called "Jack and the Pack" anywhere.... ChrisTheDude 14:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
