How They Made TUGS - (HD) FULL BEHIND THE SCENES! RARE FOOTAGE!

This present would not have been possible without the efforts of Jim and his archive- so, on behalf of everybody who appreciates this video, thank you Jim.

So what's in this video? cITV presenter gets a special inside look at the making of films inside Shepperton Studios! The first segment of the show, he goes inside a studio with a giant Ten Cents tug on the building, and from there- all exclusive behind the scenes content on how the show is made, specifically whilst filming the episode "Up River".

When that TUGS main theme instrumental played at 2:03 the tears began to roll. Thank you so much for this!

Who else came here after Unlucky Tug’s video on Tugs?
R.I.P David Mitton and other who passed working on this.
You will be remembered, David for Tugs and Thomas.

2:02 - 2:27 Instrumental intro theme!

And now I can see where that footage has come from, I thought we were never going to see where it is from after watching "Steaming to Legacy."

Fun Fact: TUGS and S5 of Thomas the Tank Engine are both filmed in the same room at Shepparton Studios!

I wish there was more of this behind the scenes stuff available!

[CraneProductions]

I never thought I'd see the day when I would see this. I love this and now we see what Chris Tulloch looks like. He is a great person to have on the set and what a guy David Mitton is. I must applaud you for bringing this to us as it is amazing to see the special clips and preparations that are part of the show 🙂.

I just realised they were filming "Up River", episode 12 during this interview

Zorran’s face explains my reaction to not being able to see this right away

[tommytrainsbauerawesome]

OMG!!! This is the best Christmas present you’ve given to everybody!! And the full clear instrumental of the opening theme is the symbol of Christmas and TUGS!! Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A monumental thank you to yourself and Jim. Seeing behind the scenes of this show really showcases just the level of thought, passion, and expertise needed to really bring everything together. And who would think that years after this was filmed a group of fans would obtain so many of these artifacts? It’s honestly a dream. Thank you for sharing this with the world and the community. This is a wonderful gem and it really shows us how the magic happened. Happy Holidays! 😊

[ThomasTheorist]

Just coming back here, I still find it crazy how much was seen when this first came out. it really was a CRAZY time!

[SRPC]

Amazing, I would’ve loved to have worked on a programme like this.

I think the convenience of modern CGI has taken a lot of this magic away.

[TracksideProd]

I just remembered this video existed, it's absolutely magical.
(I feel like the reason Zorran is cross during the interview is because Chris Tulloch is using the Big Mac controller during the demonstration if you look closely.)

[davidfarmer]

3:04 Chris Tulloch who also voices Zorran looks like Zorran! lol

[TheNewStoryteller]

Thanks for the rare find lad. We still have the TV Stars with us in The Star Tugs Trust Community except Top Hat and Grampus are missing.

[danielwilliamson]

5:26 One of the best and most beautiful intro themes of a TV series ever composed.

[wakusarchive]

Finally I can see Retro Bill in stunning HD!!1!1!1 All jokes aside though, I don't know how long I've been waiting for something like this, but I'm in awe. Thank you for blessing myself and the rest of the community with this extremely rare piece of TUGS and television history! Also, Cardona's voice though.

[super]

Very interesting...much more interesting than Computer Generated Graphics that we see too much of now-a-days. Thanks Star!

[antonioschroyer]

This is the best video ever. I really like seeing the Tugs and the studio.

[parkerproductions]

Went and saw this at one of the Star Tugs events a year back. It is a great documentary. Thanks for getting the permission to share it. :)
