Tale of the Brave/Gallery | Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia | Fandom The characteristic features of these events include locomotives wearing 'faces' to resemble 'Thomas' characters, and a " Fat Controller " character, usually performed by one of the railway's volunteers. The general idea is that the public have the chance to ride in a train pulled by 'Thomas' or one of his friends. The Thomas engine visits various historic railroads across the United States allowing visitors to play games, meet Sir Topham Hatt and to ride on a passenger car pulled by the engine. HiT Entertainment sponsors the event to promote the Thomas and Friends brand. The Thomas locomotive is shipped from the UK. Several of these attractions have since been renamed and re-themed. A wide range of merchandise has been manufactured to cash in on the success of the series. The most popular and wide-ranging items of Tale of the Brave (Thomas & Friends) are the models of the characters, which have been produced in many different ranges, some including accompanying railway systems. Other popular products include videos, books and magazines, and computer games. Thomas merchandise has also included such items as audiobooksannualscolouring and activity books, jigsawsboard games, stationeryphoto notebooks, clothing, cutlery, household items such as curtains, duvet covers and lampshades, and even soft drinks and spaghetti shapes. With the popularity of the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends TV series among children, Thomas-based merchandise has proven very lucrative. At least 5 different categories of trains and tracks exist: "Take Along Thomas" with grey tracks; TrackMaster battery-operated engines with brown tracks previously Tomy with blue track ; Brio-type wooden engines with wooden rails and roads by ELC and others ; electric model railway produced in OO gauge by Hornby and BachmannN gauge by TomixO gauge by Lioneland from G-scale from Bachmann ; and Lego engines and tracks. Merit Toys also produced some larger scale battery-powered engines with carriages and wagons in the s, which ran on red tracks. Complementary videos, DVDs, books, games, puzzles, stationery, Tale of the Brave (Thomas & Friends) and household items have also been produced. In Januarya number of Thomas toys were recalled after test found lead content in the paint was up to 90 times the legally permitted level.

Replicas are based on alternative format engines such as Hunslet Austerity ST numberwhich was converted from a saddle-tank to a side-tank design [6] by fabricators of the Mid-Hants Railway to create No. Due to the increasing licensing fees and many other restrictions imposed by HiT including the need for "Sir Topham Hatts" to have auditions and the requirement for intensive Criminal Records Bureau checking, many heritage railways in the UK and overseas have reluctantly decided to withdraw from running "Thomas" days, thus reducing the income stream to these organisations.

  • Competition and Public Service Broadcasting: Stimulating Creativity Or Servicing Capital?
    Socio-Economic Review Advance Access published October 13, 2011 Socio-Economic Review (2011) 1–27 doi:10.1093/ser/mwr022 Competition and public service broadcasting: stimulating creativity or servicing capital? Simon Turner1,* and Ana Lourenc¸o2 1NIHR King’s Patient Safety and Service Quality Research Centre, King’s College London, London, UK; 2School of Economics and Management, Catholic University of Portugal, Porto, Portugal *Correspondence: [email protected] Downloaded from In UK public service broadcasting, recent regulatory change has increased the role of the private sector in television production, culminating in the British Broadcast- ing Corporation’s (BBC) introduction of ‘creative competition’ between in-house ser.oxfordjournals.org and independent television producers. Using the concept of ‘cognitive variety’, we focus on the increasing role of the independent sector as a source of creativity in the delivery of programming for the BBC. The paper shows that the intended benefit of introducing new competencies has been thwarted by, at the micro- at King's College London on October 17, 2011 level, a high level of cognitive proximity between in-house and external producers and, at the meso-level, a conflict in values between the BBC and the independent sector, with many of the larger producers responding to a commercial imperative that encourages creativity in profitable genres, but leaves gaps in other areas of provision. Tracing these meso-level institutional effects has implications for micro- level analyses of innovation, notably communities of practice theory.

  • Britt Allcroft
    OnLine Case 3.3 Britt Allcroft Britt Allcroft, who became a producer of television programmes, went to the same school at the same time as Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop. She always had a passion for storytelling. In her younger days she wrote several short stories, but none of them was ever published. Instead she found her way into television, and in 1978 she was asked to make a film about the British passion for steam engines. There can be few better-loved children’s characters than Thomas the Tank Engine, created originally by the Reverend W. Awdry in his spare time. As well as this series of illustrated books for children, Awdry wrote serious, adult books on steam railways. Although the Thomas books were no longer enjoying the popularity they initially had, Awdry was invited to appear in the film. He agreed, but inclement weather held up the project for several days. Awdry and Allcroft spent two days talking to each other. Although others had tried unsuccessfully to animate Awdry’s characters – essentially a fleet of steam engines with distinctive faces and personalities – Britt Allcroft became determined to succeed where others had failed. You need courage when people tell you are off your head . Thomas is much more than just a steam train having adventures – it is a way of life for me. Together with her business partner, who at the time was her husband, she approached venture capitalists, but the general reaction was that the time for Thomas had passed. Eventually, a bank loan from Barclays, supplemented by a second mortgage, allowed her to agree a licensing deal with publishers Reed Elsevier, who owned the master rights to the character, and to make her first film, which was broadcast on network television in 1984.
