As this is a private release you will just receive the DVD, it won't have a cover or any extras. This is a rare opportunity to own a documentary that has not been shown on TV since 1997 and has not been made available to the public.

The DVDs will be produced once all payments have been received and will be posted shortly after this. We will keep you informed of all developments via our Facebook and Twitter pages. Please try and pay sooner rather than later, Nicholas doesn't want all of the payments coming in on or just before the deadline!

Please share and re-tweet any posts we make in relation to the DVD, we need plenty of people to purchase the DVD! Thank you for your support. 

Update from Nicholas Jones: "After this offer closes on 13th I doubt I'll be able to do any more copies at all, because they will be requests for singles and they are too time-consuming." So order now before it is too late!

BBC Bookmark Documentary: The Thomas the Tank Engine Man

BBC Bookmark Documentary: The Thomas the Tank Engine Man 

In 1995 to celebrate 50 years of the Railway Series a 48 minute documentary was produced by Nicholas Jones and directed by John Mair of Quantafilms. The documentary gave viewers a captivating insight into the life of the author: The Rev.W.Awdry.



It was shown on BBC 2 in 1995 and once again in 1997 to commemorate the Reverend's passing, but never shown again since. The documentary has since become very rare and has not been formerly released as a DVD, however Nicholas Jones has given us a rare chance to own this documentary for ourselves. We have been in contact with Nicholas and he has said that if we can get enough people interested in purchasing this DVD then the price will be around £15 plus £2 for postage. So please show your support for bringing this documentary to DVD. 

If you are interested in this rare opportunity to buy the DVD please sign the petition via the link below to register your interest.
