This article is about the 2005 TV series. For the other series, see Sam Tân (1987) and Fireman Sam (2008). |
Fireman Sam is a British stop-motion animated children's comedy television show about a fireman called Sam, his fellow firefighters, and other townspeople in the fictional Welsh rural town of Pontypandy (a portmanteau of two real towns, Pontypridd and Tonypandy, which are situated approximately 9200 apart in the South Wales valleys).
The show is a modern version and also a sequel of the 1987 classic Welsh series, having premiered 11 years (9 in Welsh) after the original ended. It features a new voice cast, a redone intro, and new character designs and animation. The show was sold to over 40 countries and has been used across the United Kingdom to promote fire safety.
In 2003, a new Fireman Sam series was produced by Siriol Productions for HIT Entertainment, comprising twenty-six episodes, each ten minutes in length. This series uses more modern techniques of stop motion claymation, including mouths that move with the dialogue. This series featured all the original characters, but also introduced some new ones, such as Tom Thomas, the Australian pilot of the rescue helicopter Wallaby 1 and the Mountain Rescue 4x4 Jeep, an unnamed photographer/news reporter, and the Flood family, consisting of Mike the Plumber, his wife Helen the Nurse, and their daughter Mandy. Though still loosely based on a Bedford TK, the updated Jupiter has six wheels, with a slightly revised livery and appearance. Venus also received an update, with its design sporting a more generic modern appearance, though not based on any real-life model in particular. The characters in this series were voiced by John Sparkes, Joanna Ruiz and Sarah Hadland. The show aired on CBeebies from 4 April to 31 December 2005 and reruns were shown until 2007. It also reran on Cartoonito and Channel 5 in the UK.
