Fireman Sam

Sam and the crew arrive at Lizzie’s Vet Surgery to find that Woolly is stuck on the roof! Meanwhile the Pioneers are off with Trevor, trying to get their map-reading badges in two teams - Norman and Mandy and James and Sarah.

It’s Sam’s birthday and Charlie has got Joe to make Sam a remote control model of Jupiter as a surprise present. Unfortunately, when Joe and Charlie go off for a cuppa, Hannah and Sarah decide to play with it and accidentally break it!

When Norman, James, Sarah and Mandy go to play Castles and Kings at the ruins, Gareth builds them a rather pathetic cardboard dragon to use in their game.

James has discovered Bella Lasagne’s old pizza recipes and starts to bake pizzas in the Whole Fish Café. Everyone is really impressed, the recipe is fantastic and James can really cook! But then when Gareth’s caterers let him down for his Railway Gala Open Day, James spots a chance to really get stuck into some cooking.

Norman wants a dog so is looking after Auntie Phyllis’ dog to prove what a good owner he can be. But the dog won’t do anything that Norman asks. Things only get worse when Norman takes the dog for a walk by the river with Dilys and Trevor.

Mrs Chen is taking a school trip to the ruins. Norman thinks this will be boring and is also annoyed to be paired up with Lily. But Trevor is late with the bus, and when he turns up the bus is clearly not running well.

Norman is making the “best spy movie ever” about an international spy, but unfortunately poor James has been roped in as his stunt double. He’s nervous about doing dangerous stunts, and messes them all up.

While Lizzie is giving an examination to Radar (who has been under the weather), Hannah is left in charge of the veterinary centre. Hannah shows off an exotic animal to Norman. The animal is a fox with an injured tail, and Hannah inadvertently allows it to escape. Hannah and Norman go in search of the fox and are helped along the way by Trevor.

Sam arrives at Mike's workshop to find Elvis and Mike rehearsing for a concert tonight. Elvis and Mike start arguing about how a particular bit of the song goes, and the argument soon escalates and the band breaks up.

The Pontypandy Pioneers go exploring in some mountain caves; further down the mountain, Steele and Gareth renovate an old hand-cart that was once used in the mines. Mandy is interested in bats but Norman is terrified at the prospect of bats flapping their wings at him and turning him into a bat! Finally Mandy spots a bat, separates from the others and follows it down a tunnel.

Station Officer Steele is horrified to find he has two Cridlington’s on his crew when Elvis’ cousin, Jerry Lee, stands in for Penny, who is away on a course. A double helping of Cridlington crooning almost sends Steele round the bend.

Sam is supervising a forest fire drill – it's the beginning of summer, and the forest is dry. It's also the grand opening of the refurbished lido. Bronwyn is staging a Froggy Fantasy – a synchronised swimming spectacular starring Sarah, James, Mandy and Norman, in which they all bob around and pretend to be froggies.

It’s Christmas and Gareth has promised Sarah, James, Mandy and Norman a magical day out. But Gareth hasn’t checked the weather forecast and doesn’t know that a snow storm is approaching. Soon, he is leading the children up into the mountains for a sleigh ride.
