Review: 1993 Re-release of coal and other stories, a great way to end season 1 - I am an American, and when i was a Kid Thomas the Tank Engine was my favorite show! But as a kid, my favorite narrator was Ringo Starr and in the US we got 42(41 if you don't count the infamous edit of Thomas & The Missing Christmas Tree), that's why when i found out from YouTube a few years ago that we never got all of the Ringo Starr Narrations i had to get all of the UK VHS's with his narration, and i did with my PAL VHS player. Down The Mine was a re-re-release of Coal and Other Stories which was released by Kaleidoscope with the VCI in 1985, and re-released again by VCI in 1988 with a different intro of the name-board sequence, and again in 1993, and again in 2002. I own the original 1985 release and this 1993 re-release. This has some of my favorite stories from Season 1, Henry's Speical Coal(Coal), The Flying Kipper, Whistles And Sneezes, Thomas Breaks The Rules(Thomas In Trouble), James In A Mess(Dirty Objects) to name a few but my favorite was always Gordon Takes A Dip(off the rails) and Down The Mine. In the US we got these in a different format, infact we didn't even get Whistles & Sneezes until the 10th VHS! We got the episodes on our vol 3, 4, 5, 10, and a Christmas special VHS unless we owned the shining time station special. The version of the VHS i got has an echo track which i think is cool! I give this VHS 5 stars for anyone because this is some of my favorite episodes of season 1. It was a great way to end season 1!

Not to be an obsessive over little details but the video cover I got is different to the one advertised in the photo; it's the 2002 repackaging instead of the 1993 one shown in the photo above. Otherwise, great purchase. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/87491338-thomas-the-tank-engine-and-friends-story-and-song-collection](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/87491338-thomas-the-tank-engine-and-friends-story-and-song-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
