A word from your Starwind:
Thank you everyone who came to the premiere and taking the time to watch and comment.
Had a lot of fun making this one, espicially with talking to Daniel Postgate.
Until next time though enjoy!

And now we finally have The Black and White Versions on DVD and Blu Ray. You were right mate.

I love Smallfilms. I just love that sense of "so we had this idea and we just made this series because we like the idea." I feel like kids' TV today is so beholden to enormous production companies, merchandising and budgets, it's so risk-averse, you don't get that kind of ingenuity and pure creativity.

Oliver Postgate had such a lovely voice.

Well the black and white episodes of Ivor are no longer going to be lost media as we are going to get the episodes on DVD in October!

There have also been 7 audio stories uploaded on Spotify in December 2020

Should be worth mentioning the First Story, The B/W series 2 and the Colour series 3 have been recently released as the Ivor the Engine Complete Collection on DVD and Blu-ray back in October, so if you want to experience the full series, that would be the best way to do it.

So, why hasn’t anyone thought of trying to Get Ivor the Engine on a streaming service?

Series 1 ended with Ivor finally singing in the choir.

Series 2 ended with the Antiquarian Society completing the Dragon’s half-crowns meter Gas Powered volcano, which was adapted into colour in Series 3.

Series 3 ends with the dragons moving into the root of the mountain Mr Dimwity’s gold mine is located after the failings of the half-crowns meter gas powered volcano now that half-crowns are no longer money. They also moved there to hide from the Antiquarian Society after their children mistook the copper statue of St George slaying the dragon and burned it. Why on earth the statue of St George is in Wales is anyone’s guess.

The Thomas Fan with the badass name

Remember watching this on nick jr classics

Small Films are the god makes of children television. All of their shows are so wonderful and beautiful and just so magical! When I clicked on this video, In. was worried this would be another case of Missing Episodes Lost to time (like the 97 Missing Doctor Who Episodes) but I’m glad this is just a case of them not being available to the public as of now
I’m interested in what other Thomas fans think of Ivor The Engine as whenever it gets mentioned by Thomas fans (which is almost never) it’s only ever a passing mention & linked to that pilot made in the 70s by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Personally, despite not nearly having as many episodes or as big of a legacy, Ivor means just as much to me as Thomas & I will never forget the fun tales on his railway

The Legendary Story Engine that keeps the peaces and I still remember Ivor to this day.

Postgate and Awdry both share something in common
They both saw life in steam locomotives and bought it to life in fiction

Nick my nan remembers watching all the black and white episodes but she doesn't remember what the plots were

As an American this is all new to me but its fascinating. I need more history lesson on UK lost media. I love it.

anyone else ignore the premiere so they can watch the episode uninterrupted?

This looks interesting, I’ve always loved Ivor the Engine :)

Awesome. I remember seeing a bit of Ivor the Engine, and even had a couple of books, but it's a real shame to hear this. I even planned to collect the show, but now I hear that not all of the series are available on DVD! But at least Smallfilms has got a Facebook page and their original six episodes are on there.
