Fireman Sam

The Pontypandy firefighters search for the Ancient Pontypandy Way, rescue a twilight forest fire and test new uniforms, save lost sailors with a new plane, and unintentionally start a large blaze during a drone display for Steele’s anniversary. James breaks a star globe in a competition, dives for it, and then solves the missing bream mystery at the Wholefish Café.

The programme titled The Ancient Pontypandy Way / Swift Drift / Steele’s Big Day / Star Spotter of the Year / Something Fishy brings together a collection of short episodes, each centred on a distinct rescue or mystery. It presents a variety of situations that the regular cast of Pontypandy faces, ranging from forest emergencies to maritime rescues and even a fish‑related whodunit. In the first story the search for the Ancient Pontypandy Way quickly becomes a twilight‑forest fire rescue, giving the firefighters a chance to try out their brand‑new uniforms. The second episode finds Norman and the newcomer Peter adrift at sea; Krystyna steps in to pilot the new rescue plane and save them before their vessel sinks. The third tale follows Joe as he wrestles with a drone display for Station Officer Steele’s anniversary, only to inadvertently spark a large fire. In the fourth, James attempts to claim the star globe in a Star Spotter competition, but he shatters the globe and ends up plunging into the water while chasing it. The final segment centres on a missing bream from the Wholefish Café’s fish counter, with Detective James determined to solve the Case of the Missing Fish. Each instalment adds a specific twist – new uniforms, a rescue aircraft, an accidental blaze, a broken globe, and a culinary caper – while keeping the focus on the characters’ quick thinking and teamwork. The settings shift from a dim‑lit forest and open sea to a fire station celebration, a star‑spotting arena and the bustling café, providing a varied backdrop for the crew’s adventures.
