144 Days: Countdown to the An Unlikely Fandom Premiere

Today happens to be the birthday of the legendary Ringo Starr, who was the first person to narrate the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends TV series.

When searching for the perfect voice for Thomas and his friends, the people behind the show thought of Ringo, with his popularity in both the US and the UK as one of the Beatles.

He narrated the first season of the show in both regions. Happy Birthday Ringo!
