My 3 year old son took a liking to a Thomas DVD (Series 1) that a friend passed on. Thought I would get another one before I knew the script of the other word for word. Wanted one that is a good mix of the old and new characters and that's just what I got, Series 5 has characters like Cranky the Crane and Harold the Helicopter which my son loves. Really good DVD, 26 episodes of 5 minutes which is also good as you don't have to wait to long for the end of each episode when you're trying to get your little one out of the house!!! Would recommend it.
