Description

Ten years ago, I saw a fully CGI-animated episode of Thomas and Friends. I don't know which one it was, but what I do recall is that the writing was not the series I remembered from when I was a kid. I thought to myself that I could tell a better story than that. So I downloaded some Thomas models for Trainz, and made Desperate Measures.

Now, with the announcement of Season 25 and the reboot of the series (again), I find myself in exactly the same position. The quality of the TV series has gone off the rails (pun intended), and so it's down to the fans to make content in the spirit of the original. In a funny twist, I'm even filming Desperate Measures again, although this time it's for the 10th anniversary of its original upload, which will be in February next year.
