Alec Baldwin's always going to be my favorite.

Yeah. While his narration wasn't very good in Season 6, I'll gladly take him over any season of Micheal Brandon.Β

Yeah, so would I.Β TBH, I think Robin Smith is the worst narrator.

You mind giving a sample clip of his narration?

Sorry pal, but he doesn't sound that bad to me.

Well, if you think about it, he doesn't really give any of the characters different voices.

You may have a point, but I still don't think his voice in general sounds that bad. Though, I do think he would've made a better narrator than Micheal Brandon for the US dub of the early CGI series.

I like the RS and GC Mr. Conductors. Β Alec Baldwin never impressed me much.

He's the one I grew up with, because of the Magic Railroad.

Well, I grew up with Ringo Starr and George Carlin, and I'm more fond of them. Β Sorry, my friend.

That's fine.

I grew up with both Ringo and George, but I prefer George Carlin more.

I grew up with the Baldwin version, plus I like his narration of the show better.

Hey Daniel, I too like his narration of the show better. His voice really stood out to me more than Ringo and George. (But Ringo was my first narrator because I first watched Thomas from the first US VHS Tape: Thomas Gets Tricked and other stories) Plus, Alec makes it sound more up to date.

Yeah, though if there's one thing about his narration I didn't like, it's how he didn't give the Scottish Twins and Duncan their Scottish accents.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, you got a good point. I guess He probably wasn't good at Scottish accents. The voices I loved hearing from him were Bill and Ben, Stepney, Sir Topham Hatt, George, Arry and Bert (Both Seasons 5 and 6), Cranky, Gordon, Henry, James, The Lorries, Oliver, Toad, Annie and Clarabel (I love how he gave them Southern Accents) and Duncan (Season 5 only. He gave Season 6 Duncan George's Season 5 voice, which doesn't sound right for Duncan). I also loved his Salty and Elizabeth voices.

Yeah, his female voices were just HILARIOUS. I swear I almost peed my pants with laughter when I heard him say "Do you mind? I'm trying to sleep!" for the first time in so long.

Yeah, listening to that now, every time I hear it; I break down with laughter!
