Here's my list of Thomas narrators from best to worst

Least Favorite - Alec Baldwin This guy did a OK job narrating for Season 5. His character voices are hit (Thomas, Percy, Cranky, the Horrid Lorries, Bill and Ben, etc) and miss (James, Gordon, etc). His best narration for this season is Haunted Henry.

Though, his acting in Thomas and the Magic Railroad was pretty bad, like MillieFan92 said. And also his narration sounded like he is bored indeed.

Then came Season 6. And his narrations were some of worst ones ever, like MillieFan92 said. I bet it was because of Thomas and the Magic Railroad becoming a box office failure. Sure there are good voices he did in the season like Salty, Gordon's voice (an improvement from last season), and Cyril the Fogman, but most of the time, it was horrible.

Aside from Alec Baldwin's narrations being hit or miss, he was the show's worst narrator in history.

6. Michael Brandon He was the most overhated Thomas narrator. He was a decent narrator. He may have a few flaws like his voices for the Narrow Gauge engines, but he at least put effort in his work. His best voices were his Diesel, Salty and Hector voices. I personally like George Carlin better.

5. Pierce Brosnan He may not be great while narrating "The Great Discovery", but he at least didn't sound terrible. There is a lot of voices he did great, especially Duncan. Sure, he did seem a bit bland at times, but he at least tried to put a lot of effort in his narrations. He would of improved after that if he would of stayed.

4. Michael Angelis Speaking of whom, Angelis' work was great, back when Seasons 3-5 are around. Around Seasons 6-7, it was decent. But then came Season 8, it sounded more and more bland. I think they would of replaced him sooner than in 2013.

3. George Carlin In the words of MillieFan92: Who'd have thought that the comedian who's known for the seven dirty words would join a kid's show?

George Carlin is one of the most nostalgia narrators next to Ringo and Mark. Most of his narrations are so charming to sit and watch. Sure his Seasons 1-2 narrations are decent, but his Seasons 3-4 narrations are so charming. Again, like MillieFan92 said, he isn't perfect all the time. Carlin's preformance for Mr. Conductor was brilliant (I wish Ringo Starr's role would of remained after Season 1, and George Carlin's "Mr. Conductor" would be his cousin). It's a shame he was replaced after Season 4, and a bigger shame he past away in 2008. Rest in piece George Carlin. You're always be missed, and I enjoy your narrations.

2. Mark Moraghan Moraghan's work on the show has been amazing since 2013. His narrations in Seasons 17-21 were very great. In the words of MillieFan92, yes, he didn't get many lines due to the role of the narrator being reduced, but when he speak, he puts all his effort in his narrations. And it makes his voice more special when it's heard. He did a really great job voicing Dexter in Season 22. Also, he did a great job playing Mr. Evans in the Storytime with Mr. Evens segment. Again, he knows how to act and narrate. I'm glad he's working on the show.

Favorite Narrator - Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr is the most nostalgia narrator to me. He may have sounded a little decent in Season 1, but still good, but he improved a lot in Season 2. He has a soothe sounding voice, which went very well with the Ladybook book audiotapes. And I did like his Diesel growling in Pop Goes the Diesel. And yes, I also liked his role as Mr. Conductor in Season 1 of Shining Time Station. It's a little disappointing that he didn't stay on after Season 2. I wish he could of narrated the rest of Seasons 1-2 for the US audiences like he did with the others.
