Thomas The Tank Engine Has Gone PC

We now have ethnic engines, crazy.

From every programme I've seen involving Indian steam trains, they were all imported from the UK so technically they'll have British ancestry.

Hmmm...

... For a worrying moment there I thought that link, "How the Troy story is getting a female makeover", was going to be about how

I tell you, all this PC nonsense started when they either muted the sound or changed the name of Guy Gibson's black Labrador to 'Digger or Trigger' in 'The Dambusters'.

Thin edge of the wedge I say.

Why do you expect Chinese to identify with Chinese only and Indians with Indians only? Sounds a bit bigoted and racist to me

The traditional format of the show is very popular around the world, this need for "progressive change" is only in the addled minds of puddled middle class hand wringers.

Films, plays, books get updated all the time. I think it's a compliment to the original that it is being remade. I don't think the target audience will be that bothered by the changes; though I can see why the 'PC gone mad brigade' are stamping their feet.

Sorry, can't agree with you Pete.

Thomas features the voice talents of the greatest scouse voice ever.

Mr Joker,

If you mean the narration. Then it is good-a very subtle scouse accent.

"pitch t com, pitch t com, pitch t com, shhhhh- tooty toot ",

goes Ivor.

There will be a welcome in the hillside-when he comes home again to Wales.

New characters introduced! I'm so excited!

Although, I've found more correct (not politically) version:

Thomas has gone international & become the poster train (boy) for the National Rifle Association in the US.
