As well as the late, great Mr. Baddeley, Dennis and Gnasher (1996) also starred Kerry Shale. Mainly providing Gnasher’s growls, but he uses his ‘Diesel’ voice for a few one-off characters.

The short run of episodes featuring the Trotters' Liverpudlian cousin were found to be so funny at test screenings that they were considered a public health risk and had to be wiped. Only a fragment of the opening titles remains.

The original ending to Cranky Bugs, where Cranky sets his eyes on Mavis and Percy isn't best pleased…

With no Awdry Extravaganza next year, the Talyllyn will instead be hosting Peanuts/Charlie Brown themed events next year, right next to The Sign Eating Tree at Rhydyronen

My trip has come to an end. Highlights include the Isle of Man, Awdry Extravaganza, the NYMR and time spent with family and friends.

Definitely going home in a better head space

(1/3) An unintentional Open All Hours location visit with @oldsquarewheels.bsky.social in Doncaster the other day. Not the shop as you might expect (that proved too far to walk!) but a spot in the city centre used for the Series 1 episode "A Well Catered Funeral"...
