According to Wikipedia, in Season 14, drastic changes will be made to the format of the show. Each full-length episode will consist of 2 13-minute stories and either one mini-game or one song. The episode content will change too; more emphasis will be placed on action and characterization. A planned story-arc features Percy and Diesel working together to pull a strangely-flamboyant James "out of the shed", as it were.

Remember that last episode of Series 12 I told you about? Well HIT have told me it's true, that it really is the last episode, and they've sent me a screenshot and title too:

I heard Brian Falzon will have his own episode in series 19, following which he will get a spin-off show. Diesel will be scrapped following Brian's debut.

Apparently the Pierce Brosnan thing was solely for TGD a an attempt to boost flagging publicity for the series proper and he won't actaully be narrating anything else. Angelis has stayd on for S12 on the understanding that it will in fact be the last series of the show and all sets will be blown up in honour of David Mitton at the conclusion of the first showing on TV. This is tentatively scheduled for November 16 at Shepparton Studios, so keep your diaries free.
Of course, if Australia is counted in the first-run episodes, it will be November 16, 2023, following the 238th repeat of season 6 and 7.
Brosnan was not available for comment yesterday, but his manager has confirmed he was shaken by the news. Not stirred.

Apprently, n00bs from YT will be doing the voices for characters in Season 15 onwards. They have also said they will use the same storylines over and over again until the bore everybody stiff.
Following the failure of Season 15, or before it even started: the n00bs were so bad that at the last minute Angelis and Brosnan were asked to do one last Season.
For Season 16, HiT have asked members of SiF to voice the characters and write the stories. They will give a rather draft; and then SiF members will make them better (So better, that they instead voiced the Railway Series and Extended Railway Series).

The show's writers decided to write a series of episodes focusing solely on the roadway characters. They intend to bring back Caroline and Terence as well.

Following the previews of Chuggington, the producers of Thomas have decided they don't stand a chance, and quit. One was even muttering something about suicide.

hey everyone I just read some where that in season thirteen, there's going to be an episode deticated to micheal brandan and jim michael angelis.
the story will have hank helping out sodor's oldest signalman, mike, who is sad because he's retiring. diesel laughs and says the engines don't need signals to be really useful anyway. hank tries to prove diesel wrong, but he fails, so he throws a party instead. mike is very happy.
p.s. pierce (james bond lol) brosnan will narrate, but the two michaels will be coming to back to provide the voice of mike. I can't wait

This fall, HiT is holding a contest to see who can come up with the best stories for Thomas and Friends. The top three entries will be modified to fit with HiT's current episode formula, and be produced in Season 13.

Apperently, there's going to be an episode based on the Credit Crunch where the Fat Controller and the Thin Controller will cut down on Steam and Diesel Engines.
They have decided the following are going:
Thomas (For various reasons, doesn't learn a thing and has too many appearances). Henry (Gets things wrong all the time, and needs is too expensive because of his new shape). Percy (Doesn't know a single word). Toby (Too Old and not wise anymore). Diesel (Not devious anymore, and is sent packing for good). Skarloey (Has aged so young, that he needs to go to playschool). Sir Handel (Apprently, he's too old). Donald (After his last appearance in Season 12, he broke another signal box and has too go). Dennis (Became lazy again, and doesn't do a thing). Molly (Doesn't fit in, and looks too much like Edward).
The show has now become: Edward the Blue Engine & Friends due to the costs.
Also, there's to be an episode about Global Warming, Terrorists and Ailens. This will scare the hell out of little children, and will cost HiT Entertainment trillions.
A Heavy Metal band has been asked to re-create the O'Donnell and Campbell themes for the show, and will make the show a Thrash and Gothic themes. Hartshorne and Welch both got the sack due to the repeating songs and despressing themes.

Robert Zemeckis has been brought in to do the next series. He's going to do the whole thing with motion capture. And I mean EVERYTHING! He's even getting the Stirling Single out of the National Railway Museum, and is getting it back to full working condition so it can be fitted with a motion capture suit for it to play Emily! News just in, Ray Winston has been cast as the Fat Controller. And Tom Hanks is playing Lady Hat...

I hear tell that Diesel 10 is featuring in a Halloween special, complete with his evil personality from "Thomas and the Magic Railroad." I also heard that Salty and Billy will be removed from the show due to people complaining that they have buckteeth.
