Britt Allcroft, creator of the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends TV series, has died.

We must thank her for enriching and influencing all of our childhoods. It was she who persuaded the most guarded and stubborn of characters, our Reverend Awdry, to bring his books to life. No mean feat when the Rev had veteod this premonition at evey turn, but Britt knew what she wanted to create and had the confidence and grit to bring Awdry on board.

It was also her plan to have Ringo Starr narrate it right from the beginning. She specifically wanted it to be him. And more magic was weaved, via the appointment of two musicians (Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell) with necessary Starr connections. Ringo would stay aboard for the first two series in 1984 and 1986, but these probably remain the most iconic of the lot.

Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends is firmly embedded in our psyche and has had a long lasting influence to just about everyone you know. Obviously those of us with a railway interest will carry it with us in particular, but you only have to look at its presence in online meme culture to understand how significant an impression it made to multiple generations.

Britt, thank you. RIP
