    At least Merry Winter Wish is finally being shown, what about Merry Misty Island?

    @ Anonymous - Apparently no Merry Misty Island this year... it is, however, available on the Merry Winter Wish DVD and is probably still hanging around on YouTube somewhere.

    You can keep up to date with any last minute changes to Thomas broadcasts on the right-hand side of this page - http://www.abc.net.au/abcforkids/shows/s2979098.htm - but for now it seems you'll have to wait a while longer to see Merry Misty Island on TV.

    I haven't a clue why Thomas And the Runaway Kite is being aired on December 26, it is not Christmassy by any measure. Why doesn't Season 11 just resume on Boxing Day if Merry Misty Island is not being shown this Christmas?

    It's just over 2 and 1/2 hours until Misty Island Rescue goes to air. I'll be tuning in, despite having seen it numerous times on DVD. It's not a bad special, but in my opinion, Hero Of The Rails is still the best.
