    ABC2 in Australia will air a similar miniseries in the lead up to Christmas, cutting short it's repeat run of Season 11 at 9:15am daily from December 10 after twelve episodes.

    Season 15 episodes Tree Trouble and Percy The Snowman will air in the 9:15am timeslot on December 23 and 24 respectively, with Misty Island Rescue debuting at 12:30pm on Christmas Eve and Season 14 episode Merry Winter Wish at 4:40pm that afternoon.

  2. To be honest, the only thing that's worth watching in that list is Day of the Diesels

    Merry Misty Island has still not been shown in Australia. Both it and Merry Winter Wish were withheld from the Season 14 broadcast here, along with Percy The Snowman and Tree Trouble from the fifteenth season.

    Percy The Snowman, Tree Trouble and Merry Winter Wish will be airing in the lead up to Christmas and Surprise, Surprise will be repeated on Christmas Day but Merry Misty Island is still missing. Luckily I've seen it on YouTube and the Merry Winter wish DVD...
