In January 1999, Nickelodeon UK acquired the British pay broadcast rights to Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends from Cartoon Network. They began airing the first to the fifth series on the Nick Jr. block and channel from 1999 in the UK and Ireland daily. However, Cartoon Network would continue to air the series until their license fully expired in 2001. Beginning with the sixth series, Nick Jr. was the first-run broadcaster for the series in the United Kingdom and Ireland. On 31 May 2004 a night-time block launched on Nick Jr. called Noggin. The block aired classic children's programming from 20:00 to 22:00 at night. One or two episodes of the first to the seventh series aired each night on the block. On 5 September 2005, the block was renamed to Nick Jr. Classics. The block lasted until 2010. In 2004, a series of segments called Playtime with Fans were shown on the channel during advert breaks at least from 2004-2005 and would later air on TMF (later known as VIVA!) when the first to fifth series were being aired on the channel by Noggin. These segments were stories made by young children who played with their favourite characters, and Michael Angelis narrated the stories. At least three of these shorts were made. On 1 August 2004, the eighth series premiered. Starting from this series, Thomas & Friends aired in a half-hour format. In the airing, two eighth series episodes, one seventh episode, a few Learning Segments and a song were paired. Michael Angelis' narrations of seventh series episodes were paired with Robert Hartshorne's music replacing Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell's music. Airings of the first to the seventh series now used transitions introduced in the eighth series. These half-hour format airings also aired on PBS Kids in the US and Treehouse TV in Canada, albeit with Michael Brandon's narrations instead of Michael Angelis' narrations. Initially, the eighth and the ninth series only aired during weekends, but they began to air during weekdays as well beginning in 2005. On 26 June 2005, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Railway Series, Nick Jr. aired a marathon called Thomas & Friends Party. The day started off with party-themed episodes from other Nick Jr. series such as Dora the Explorer, Max & Ruby and the British version of Blue's Clues. Starting at 12:00, Thomas & Friends episodes aired until 18:00. 48 episodes from the fifth and sixth series were aired in the event, along with one episode from the seventh series. On 30 January 2006, another Noggin block launched on TMF. The first to the fifth series aired on the block until 16 July 2006. On 24 April 2006, Nick Jr. 2 was launched, with Thomas & Friends as one of its launch programmes. The tenth to the twelfth series premiered on Nick Jr. 2.The First series - fourth series episodes also aired on the block. Nick Jr. first ran every series up until the eleventh series in 2007. Starting from the twelfth series, Channel 5's Milkshake! would begin to first run every series. On 19 February 2008, Calling All Engines! premiered on Nick Jr. during a week on the channel called "Specials Week", which aired various specials of Nick Jr. series. This airing of the special cut out the songs and the learning segments. On 30 April 2010, Nick Jr. rebranded. With this rebrand, the half-hour formats of the eighth to the twelfth series which were previously 28 minutes were shortened down to 22 minutes to allow advertising space. This included "Making Tracks to Great Destinations", the morning and night sequences, the Rev. W. Awdry's Letter, the Island of Sodor opening sequence and the learning segments being removed from airings. However, the full 28 minute half-hour formats were still shown on some weekends while Series 13 and onward didn't have the full block shown at all. In 2011 and 2012 when the fourteenth series and the fifteen series was airing on Nick Jr., there were many glitches occurred during broadcasts. The blocks that are affected by these errors including the blocks Old and New,Helpful Friends, and Learning Together. These included an episode's audio would play out of sync until an end came into practice before reverting back to the right synced screen and sound, and the first few minutes of the episode Charlie and Eddie where until the scene when Edward and Charlie leave Maithwaite were drowned out by Thomas, You're the Leader. Most of the recent broadcasts of the tenth series on Nick Jr. also have episodes or interactive segments either out of sync or with crossed over audio. Nick Jr. said to a user online known as Roll Along Thomas; On 27 October 2012, feature-length Thomas & Friends specials from the CGI series began airing on Nick Jr. each Saturday at 13:00, starting with Hero of the Rails . After the specials had been aired, the fifteenth series began airing on Nick Jr. In 2013, the first to the seventh series ceased broadcast on Nick Jr. On 3 November 2014, Nick Jr. 2 rebranded into Nick Jr. Too, and Thomas & Friends became exclusive to Nick Jr. Too. After this rebrand, there were only a select few times that Thomas & Friends aired on Nick Jr. The Christmas episodes of the seventeenth series aired from Christmas Day 2014, and King of the Railway was repeated on 11 February 2015 and Blue Mountain Mystery was repeated on 18 and 19 February 2015. The eighth to twelfth series ceased broadcast on Nick Jr. and Nick Jr. Too around Spring 2015. Nick Jr. Too also aired the seventeenth series and the eighteenth series. The CGI series episodes in the half-hour airings on Nick Jr. Too remained the same as the PBS Kids airings, but were shortened to fit in more advert breaks, which meant the Mr. Perkins' Storytime and Postcards segments were removed, only leaving in two episodes with a song in the middle.The episodes from the Spills and Thrills DVD also premiered on Nick Jr. Too. Around spring 2017, the episodes from the Dinos and Discoveries DVD and the nineteenth series aired on Nick Jr. Too. Unlike before, these episodes were not aired in a half-hour format and were instead aired individually. However, they were aired in the same order as the 28 minute half-hour format airings that were being aired on PBS Kids in the US. In October 2016, Turner Broadcasting System Europe acquired the pay broadcast rights to Thomas & Friends. The series was removed from Nick Jr. Too at the beginning of 2017, and Cartoonito began airing the series in March 2017. However, Thomas & Friends last aired on Nick Jr. Too on 26 December 2017 with Diesel's Ghostly Christmas and the Nick Jr. Website still featured the Thomas & Friends activities for a time. In October 2021, Mattel announced various broadcasters who had acquired Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go in their respective countries, with Nick Jr. acquiring the pay broadcast rights to the series in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as such, it premiered on 16 May 2022.
