Fireman Sam

When Charlie brings Mandy, Sarah and Norman out to sea, the kids end up fighting over who should be captain, tussling over the captain’s hat until Charlie ends up falling into the sea! As he watches his boat chug away, Norman declares that since he was the last one to wear the hat, he should be captain and turn the boat around. There is another tussle that leads to Norman over revving the engine and making it catch fire! Charlie manages to climb back into the burning boat and sends up a flare for help. A full search and rescue mission launches with Neptune, Titan, Juno, Wallaby Two, the Police Helicopter and FireSwift. Everyone is lifted safely back to dry land. Charlie is impressed with the new clean energy electric motor on Neptune and is keen to replace his damaged engine with one like it. He declares that it will be like ‘having a new boat’ causing Norman to vow that he’ll be the captain!

It’s Christmas Eve in Pontypandy and with no snow on the forecast, everyone is lending a hand to turn the Quay into a Ponty Wonderland. Hannah and Peter design a Snow Machine, but it only makes a puff of mist. Sarah spots Joe’s Sparkes-Super-Charger 2000 and convinces a reluctant Peter to attach it. Frustrated at it still only making mist, Sarah turns it up to the max and it’s not long before the machine zooms round the Quay with Hannah and Peter on top of it… then shoots out to sea! Sam and Penny race off to rescue them, and with some nifty driving from Penny and a well-timed lift off the machine from Sam, Sarah and Peter are scooped into Neptune - just as the Snow Machine scrapes ashore on the rocks! Sarah apologises to Penny for rushing Peter and Hannah but then Sam arrives and tells Sarah to look outside… Sarah is overjoyed to see the whole Quay is covered in snow! Everything is ready for the grand opening tomorrow... where Joe Sparkes will reveal his big surprise!
