Thomas & Friends (previously known as 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 eleventh series of this show, which was first broadcast in 2007. This series was narrated by Michael Angelis for the U.K. audiences, while Michael Brandon narrates the episodes for the U.S. audiences.

Starting in this series, the theme song is sung by the kids from the "Thomas and Friends" suite.

Most episodes in this series have two titles: the original titles from the U.K. broadcasts are shown on top, while the American-adapted titles are shown underneath.

This was Christopher Skala's first series as executive producer.

For the U.S. broadcasts, this is the last series to be distributed by Connecticut Public Television for the first few episodes. The rest and future series are distributed by WNET in New York City, New York.

Production

Series 11 is the first in the Series to be filmed in high-definition television format. The broadcast version only included 20 episodes, with six further episodes focusing on the narrow gauge engines on the Skarloey Railway released on DVD as Engines and Escapades. This is also the last season that uses models instead of CGI (Computer-generated imagery). Executive producer Jocelyn Stevenson had stepped down after four series and was replaced by Christopher Skala.
