Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends is a children's television series about the engines and other characters working on the railways of the Island of Sodor, and is based on The Railway Series books written by the Rev. W. Awdry.
This article lists and details episodes from the 6th series of the show, which was first broadcast in 2002.
This series was narrated by Michael Angelis for the UK audiences, who also re-dubbed only 2 episodes for the US audiences, while Alec Baldwin narrated the episodes for the US audiences, which was also his last series. 6 were re-dubbed by Michael Brandon for the US audiences.
Most episodes in this series have 1 title: the American titles are shown underneath.
The first season produced by HiT Entertainment. Marked the return series after 4 years without new episodes.
Production
Phil Fehrle had taken over as producer from David Mitton and Britt Allcroft, while Angus Wright had been replaced by Allcroft and Peter Urie as executive producers.
This was the first series to oversee an introduction of a writing staff, since the stories from The Railway Series had already been adapted. Staff-written stories had been introduced in Series 5, and this practice remains unchanged since then.
Abi Grant served as script editor for the series.
Stock Footage: This season had the same theme music as Seasons 3, 4, & 5
