Jack and the Sodor Construction Company is a spin-off series of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends that was supposed to air on television for spring 2003, but it was cancelled because HiT Entertainment already received its own construction show, Bob the Builder. That's why in 2006, the mini-series' episodes were released on DVD as listed.
The show originally was intended to release 26 episodes, but only the first half was released and the second half was cancelled.

However, only 11 episodes were released in widescreen (v) while two of them, Jack Owns Up and Percy's Scary Tale, were released in full-screen (x). That's why the widescreen versions of these two episodes are only available on Virgin Media on Demand UK and the HQ copies never exist. BUT It has been confirmed that these 2 episodes were released on a promo DVD that were given out in a British newspaper (The Mirror).
The first two episodes, Jack Jumps In and A Friend In Need, were broadcast on television as part of Thomas & Friends' sixth season.
These two lost episodes were also released on the American DVD: On Site with Thomas.
In 2017 of May 8th, the lost widescreen versions of the two episodes were finally released on the UK iTunes edition of Thomas' Trusty Friends.
13 more episodes that were cancelled exist as listed.
