Thomas & Friends (previously known as Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends) is a children's television series about the engines and other characters working on the railways of the Island of Sodor. Former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr was the first storyteller of Thomas & Friends, and arguably the one most frequently associated with the show. He narrated the first and second seasons of the television series and was the first to actor to play Mr. Conductor in Shining Time Station. Starr did not return for the third series of Thomas, citing an interest in focusing on his musical career. He was replaced by George Carlin.
