'Kevin's Cranky Friend' to kick off new series in Britain

The first episode in the new Series Seventeen, due to hit British television screens next month, has been named.

Details of the series' world premiere in Britain emerged last week, with press releases and info on the first run of episodes published online.
An error on digiguide's database meant that effectively, the identity of the premiere episode failed to be recognised. Since then, Kevin's Cranky Friend has been named by Freeview to start off the season.

Scruff's Makeover, Wayward Winston, Gordon Runs Dry and Calm Down Caitlin follow to complete the first week of broadcast.

The brand new seventeenth series of Thomas & Friends marks its world premiere on Channel 5 milkshake! in the UK on June 3rd 2013 at 7:35am with the episode, Kevin's Cranky Friend.
