Season Fifteen starting in March 2011

Digiguide and LocateTV have revealed that the new series of Thomas & Friends will broadcast from the beginning of March in the UK.

GORDON AND FERDINAND

The Fat Controller gives Ferdinand the honour of helping Gordon to take the Lion of Sodor to the summerhouse. Gordon, however, gets very jealous, which causes a nasty accident on the track.

Broadcasts on Tuesday March 1st 2011 at 7:30am on FIVE and FIVE HD.

TOBY AND BASH

Bash is rewarded by the Fat Controller for being a Really Useful Engine. His prize is to spend the day with Toby. Bash enjoys himself so much that Toby thinks his friend would like to live on Sodor. Together, the pair set out to find Bash the perfect new home.

EMILY AND DASH

 Emily is given the job of looking after Dash on a trip to the steam fair. Dash shows Emily how to make special tweeting noises with his whistle, but he does it so often he runs out of fuel and gets stuck. Emily thoughtlessly goes to the fair without him. Will she remember her job and come back?

PERCY'S NEW FRIENDS

 Percy wants to make friends with the wild animals on Sodor, but they are frightened of him and run away. Percy realises that if he is gentle and quiet rather than fast and loud, he will stop scaring them. He is soon covered in friendly animals!

Broadcasts on Friday March 4th 2011 at 7:30am on FIVE and FIVE HD.

So there we have it! The first 4 new episodes coming in March which is not long away and I am intrigued that Dash and Ferdinand will star in similar episodes with Emily, Toby and Gordon.

Season Fifteen premieres on FIVE and FIVE HD in the UK starting from Tuesday March 1st 2011 at the earlier time of 7:30am. 

Thanks to BusterTheSteamroller for the alert.
