I would prefer using the words "their selves" over the word "theirselves" in certain sentences.*
(*another opinion that might not be considered "popular")

"Their selves" and "theirselves" are both grammatically incorrect in this case, with the former being justified only if the story calls for it, and the latter being wrong everywhere. You can't just "prefer" to screw with language.

Anyway, getting back on topic....
As much as I love George Carlin as a narrator on Thomas, there were some renarrations (stories Ringo previously narrated in the U.S.) I really didn't like.
Some examples: Thomas Comes to Breakfast, Duck Takes Charge, A Proud Day for James, Double Trouble and A Cow on the Line.
Ones I personally thought were really good, on the other hand, include Terrance the Tractor, A New Friend for Thomas, Percy Takes the Plunge, The Flying Kipper and Thomas Saves the Day.
I also didn't like the way his voice sounded in season 4; it got more gruff and nasally, almost like all the drugs he did were really catching up.
