I am absolutely devastated to hear the loss of the one and only Britt Allcroft. Not only has she created one of my favourite childhood shows, but she is why I am proud being a Thomas fan after all time.
Rest in Peace, Britt. May you fly up high with Mitton, Angelis and Carlin.

Britt Allcroft, creator of the Thomas and Friends TV show, has passed away. It's the beginning of the year and there's already a celebrity death. She brought joy to millions worldwide through Thomas, and transformed the little tank engine into the global icon that he is today. May she rest in peace.
Thank you, Britt.

Thinking about Britt during this dark time and how she helped one of Awdry's great characters, Henry, become fantastic in the span of one episode- Henry's Forest.
Henry has a great backstory, but in terms of personality he wasn't exactly unique in the RWS- which is what most of his classic era appearances are directly based on. However, I like to believe that Britt and David teased their take on Henry a few times very subtly.

These screencaps are from Tenders and Turntables and Dirty Work. In the first scene, Gordon is delegating his plan for the strike. In the second, the big three are complaining about the names Duck supposedly called them.
I just find it interesting that they specifically chose his sad faceplate for these moments, as it implies that instead of being angry or combative like Gordon and James, Henry feels more unsure, hurt, or self-conscious. They are brief, but in my eyes these were showing Henry's sensitive side before Henry's Forest was ever written.
But then, of course, season three came along, and so did Henry's Forest.
Tumblr media
This episode is so beloved because it creatively expands Henry's character in a way that fits Awdry's writing for him.
It always bothered me how Henry as a person never changed after the Flying Kipper, which was more or less a potential near-death experience for him. But Henry gaining an appreciation for life, for the natural beauty all around him makes perfect sense.
They also gave Henry the role we all know he has: the "nicest" of the Big Three. He has his grumpy moments, but overall he is agreeable, hardworking, and obedient to the Fat Controller.
He also doesn't subscribe to the "won't pull trucks/little engines are inferior" ideology- at least, not anymore. Not since the crash. And why should he? Ever since that day, Henry learned that there is so much more to life. He won't be around forever, so there's no sense in wasting time fussing over stupid things like that. He'd rather focus on being a good engine, 'cause now he finally has the chance to do that.
This kind of reimagining suits Awdry's writing for the character perfectly, as surely such a drastic change in Henry's life would cause him to see the world in new way. Cause him to become more aware of the world around him, more sensitive to the people and engines around him, more comfortable with who he is.
It's a shame that Awdry didn't really care much for Henry's Forest, because what Britt and David did for his character propelled Henry, my favorite character, to new heights.
Rest in Peace, Britt.
Thank you. For everything.

Railway Mimics AU - One Night at the Sheds
Edward, sighing as he lounges on his plush bed: At this point I'm unsure if this charade is something we should be keeping up... Gordon, looking down at Edward from his repurposed cat tower: Oh, what are you on about now? Edward: I just think at this point the humans ought to know what they're getting themselves involved with... James, perking up: And what? Risk losing the luxuries we've worked so hard to get for ourselves?! I don't know about you Edward, but I'm not about to go back into the wilds and rough it out like some common beast... I like having a roof over my head! Henry, frowning: Living in the woods doesn't sound too bad... It's very peaceful out there. Gordon, snorting: You wouldn't last 5 minutes actually living like our wild ancestors Henry. You're too domesticated. As are all of us... And it should stay like that. Edward: I'm not saying we should leave... We have a duty to the railway after all! I'm just saying... I am beginning to feel uncomfortable pretending to be just an animal to be cared for... I'd like to actually connect with our human peers. Gordon: They're not peers. They're laborers that just so happen to practice animal husbandry in ways that benefit them and ourselves. And we must maintain that illusion for them... After all, if the humans find out we're intelligent, they'd ask for far too much of us. And I for one am not about to waste my time following some nonsensical human rules that cause more headaches than do any good... It's undignified. James: Yeah Edward. Undignified. We're creatures of class. Fae tricksters that pride ourselves in our masterful plays on humanity. Edward, raising a doubtful eyebrow: Well, if you ask me, inevitably they'll just figure it out on their own and they'll likely not be too pleased at the idea of being fooled so long. Gordon: We didn't ask you. James: Or care. Edward: Very well, then forget I said anything I suppose...
