The episodes--and until ''Hero of the Rails'', the characters' dialogue as well--are told through a {{narrator}}, initially [[Music/TheBeatles Ringo Starr]]. Following Starr's departure in 1990, the UK and US dubs acquired distinct narrators, with Creator/GeorgeCarlin, Creator/AlecBaldwin and, ultimately, Michael Brandon wielding the role for US audiences, while the UK dub consistently retained Creator/MichaelAngelis as narrator. For series 17, both Angelis and Brandon were replaced by Mark Moraghan, reunifying both English dubs' narration for the first time in decades; Moraghan would hold the (progressively less prominent) role until series 22, in which the omniscient narrator was finally eliminated entirely in favour of Thomas framing each episode through BreakingTheFourthWall.
