G’day Viewer,
Welcome to L.E.S Productions Channel YouTube.
Since 2021, I've dedicated this channel to only some of the many various interests which've helped shape my life and personality. With a primary focus on fan-episodes of the Classic Children's TV programme 'Tugs'. This channel also occasionally receives content focused on 'Blinky Bill' and Thomas and Friends.
No Profits or Money are being made from any of my content or projects, just some honest creativity from the heart to your screens.
This channel acknowledges all its content is AI Free.
All I ask is give it a go..
Well, Thank you for stopping by and remember..

FACE REVEAL! (Well close anyway)
To celebrate reaching 1.5k Subrscribers, I’d like to present to you a self portrait I did myself with my ‘Bestest friends in the whole wide world’ Blinky Bill & Nutsy how “Extraoooooordinary ahahaha“ 🐨🥹💖 this will be the closest thing for now you’ll get to a full face reveal. I look at this and see myself so this drawing is truly in the likeness of me.
Thank you everyone who’s been watching all this time, I can’t wait to deliver more exciting content in the future and as Blinky would say.. ‘Keep on being EXTRAORDINARY..I’m Still here ahahah’

I’d just like to let you know I’d be very interested, delighted and willing to help in any way I possibly can and be involved as I have a huge collection and even know a few people who worked on the series itself.

A clue for what my next Thomas story is going to be about.. it’s fully recorded and has ‘Most’ of the narration added and will be a Series 1 style original story. I know I said awhile back I was going to do a Christopher Awdry story adaptation. That may still happen, just in the next batch of stories.
Now there are a few things I want to point out here.. No this is not really going to be a remake of Troublesome Trucks secondly.. As the link to dryitelad’s routes doesn’t work anymore my Thomas what-if episodes will be very limited for a while. I should have access to enough routes to make semi-decent Series 1 episodes, so please go easy on me. I’ve done the best I can, for anyone in territories affected by Copyright bots and missed out on my previous 3 Thomas fan episodes, don’t fear..I’m compiling together an HD compilation of all Thomas stories I’ve made from 2024 up to now. Lastly after this, the US Dubs will go into production. While I appreciate it, I’ll not be taking offers to narrate the US Dubs as I already have someone in mind to do it. The US Dubs will not be narrated by me though.

It’s FINALLY FINISHED!! My new official Logo. Replacing the old one which I’ve had since early 2023.
Instead of going with a Trainz Screenshot I decided to hand draw the three interests I have which make this channel, this channel. In a way it’s very loosely based off the Clearwater & Yoram Gross EM.TV Logo..
Featured is Blinky Bill & Thomas in the middle and Sunshine & Zorran (two of my favourite Tugs characters) side by side. Infront of a Greenpatch tree house. Here’s to a new chapter for my YouTube Channel!

Ahoy Subscribers,
Not really an announcement to make but..
If anybody is interested in having a Non-voice acting role in the production of my Unofficial Series 2 Tugs episodes.. I’m currently in need of some reliable and honest people who’d be willing to do stuff like proof reading scripts, OC character concept designs and more.
If you are interested in a non-voice acting role please contact me via Email (in bio), Discord: @ lesprodschyt , Instagram: les_prods_chyt
Don’t be scared to share story ideas or scripts.
NOTE: All these are voluntary roles, I’ll not be commissioning or paying anyone for their roles..Please don’t be greedy.
Second: ‘Tramp Steamer’s script has been completed and is now being ironed out ready to go to production soon! At least 2 Characters will be available to audition for shortly.
Smooth sailings everyone..

Ahoy Subscribers,
I’ve got some news.. I’m currently writing the final version of Tugs: Unofficial Series 2’s second episode and shall now reveal the title..’Tramp Steamer’ At this stage, I’m not opening up a casting call for it YET as the story is still being written up so, Voice Actors if you’re reading this.. Standby to receive your scripts which’ll have your characters on it.
I’ve also got an announcement I’d like to make which should explain why the fourth 5 minute Thomas story has been so majorly delayed..
I’ve recently signed up to my local community radio station to be a presenter and am currently developing a show to present on it. This is getting priority over anything YouTube and Tugs or Thomas fandom related business as this is real social interaction which I value a lot more than just making YouTube vids. It’s also possibly the only shot I’ll ever have at doing Voice over in a somewhat professional way.
In the mean time I’ll try and post some voice impression videos from time to time to keep this channel active while the bigger pieces get done.
Thank you for your patience and I’ll see you in the next video..

You might have noticed I posted a Cassette Tape rip of a Rare mix of a song from the animated film, Dot and the Bunny.. “The Kangaroo That Never Grew” preformed by the lovely Robyn Moore. Why you might ask?
Well in this post I’d like to give a shout out to @thekoalasmuggler who I’ll be collaborating with over the next few years preserving media both rare and common of the late great Yoram Gross AM. With our new channel Yoram Gross Archive @YoramGrossArchive we will gradually bring to you preserved media of many of Yoram’s films ranging from dot and the kangaroo series and of course the EXTRAORDINARY Blinky Bill, along with the most accurate biographies.
While we get the channel up and running, I’ll be posting some of the rarest audio cassette soundtracks and audiobooks that are based on Yoram’s films.. most of which have never been uploaded to YouTube before. These will be temporary uploads and will be removed once uploaded to the new channel.
Lastly, I’d like to promote our discord server: discord.gg/DfF6Pxcrb if you’d like to join the server and share your experiences with Yoram Gross cartoons please do.

I’m thrilled to reveal to everyone, my new logo.. Once this has finished being fine lined and coloured in I’ll be rolling it out to replace the current avatar of all my social media accounts.. I’ve had the current avatar since 2023 and believe it’s time for a replacement as part of my channel rebrand.
(With the small exemptions being for my Train and Blinky bill accounts)..
Further update on content.. as at now, all voice actors have handed in their lines for Thick Fog
Episode 2’s script has had its plot finalised and the script is currently in the 6th draft.
I’ll announce a casting call for the episode once the script is ready to be sent to the current Voice Actors.
I’d also like to apologise for the delay of the 4th Thomas episode so that the HD Compilation (& US Dub) can go into productions. This was due to an unforeseen reason and production has resumed.
Lastly, I’ve released a document detailing all information if anyone would like to have me collaborate with them voicing characters..
I’ve created this so I can indicate when I’m avalible or not along with a few conditions of having me voice for you.
I advise people to read this before contacting me (link to the doc is in channel bio, “Voice Acting Requests”)
Well, that’s it for now! Smooth sailing everyone,
Les Starport
