Clearly I am on a nostalgic roll here because this series just brought tons of memories flooding back. I remember when this series first came out and we were all completely hooked on Gary Coleman. Man, was he famous! While his slow descent into madness is well documented, perhaps we should all enjoy this super cheap (£2.99) remembrance of the genius that was.

The complete first season disc set includes all the episodes from the first successful season. The basic premise of the series is simple (for those of you who don’t know). Arnold and Willis are two black kids from Harlem who move to the wealthy Park Avenue to live with a wealthy white widower. 

Philip, the aforementioned widower, promised his housekeeper on her deathbed that he would take in and look after her kids. So along come these two feisty kids and their misadventures in the world of the wealthy are hilarious. 

I haven’t seen the series since it first came out so I am sure it is full of terrible non-pc comments and issues. Still, it’s well worth revisiting for this great price. Definitely a Christmas stocking filler if I ever saw one.

 The DVD includes eight more adventures including The Old Bridge, Bulgy Rides Again, Bill, Ben and Fergus, The Spotless Record, Best Dressed Engine, Fergus Breaks the Rules, and Peace and Quiet. There are quite a few other DVDs on special at BTR Direct so you can easily add to your order and get a whack of DVDs for the same price you usually pay for one.

My daughter has always loved Thomas and knows the theme tune by heart, it’s really cute watching her singing along and dancing. Thomas was a staple of my childhood and now he is a part of hers, it’s lovely to share. I hope that this fab price gets you a great item for your Thomas collection, or a great gift for any upcoming birthday parties.
