Explanation:

Shining Time Station is a children's drama television series created by Britt Allcroft and Rick Siggelkow. The series included sequences from the show Tomas & Friends, very popular in the United Kingdom. The series starred Ringo Starr, Didi Conn, George Carlin, Brian O'Connor, and The Flexitoon Puppets. Ringo Starr had already done a voice-over of the storyteller for Thomas & Friends, and was a perfect choice for the character Mr. Conductor in Shining Time Station.
