About this deal

This special was released on the Roku channel in the US with the US dub and this is also the latest special to be dubbed in the US. The Roku Channel in the US then changed the special's dub with the UK dub, but the US dub can still be found somewhere. NOTE: This is the only Fireman Sam DVD to feature all three versions of the show. (The Original, Series 5 and CGI.) When Flex sabotages the runaway bus scene, it's evening, but in the video that Sarah and Mandy recorded, it's the afternoon. The Original 1990 release has a slide advertising The Hero Next Door, Lost Cat, Sam's Day Off and Snow Business. This is the latest Fireman Sam special to have a US dub, as the US dub of the series has been possibly discontinued as of Series 12.

A recording of the live action Fireman Sam stage play, which ran in certain theatres throughout the 1990s.The re-release has a 5 second slide advertising videos 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 plus The Very Best of Fireman Sam. The re-release has a 5 second slide advertising videos 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 plus The Very Best of Fireman Sam. The play has three acts, 'Fire Station Flood Alert' (loosely based on the episode, 'Bentley the Robot'),

At one point Sarah mistakenly refers to her Uncle Sam as "Fireman Sam", though she did correct herself later on. Fireman Sam takes a rare day off and takes Sarah and James camping but when the bus catches fire, things go from bad to worse when the tent starts burning. At the start of the tape, there is a promo slide advertising The Very Best of Fireman Sam, The New Adventures of Fireman Sam and The New Adventures of Fireman Sam: Disaster For Dinner videos.Strangely, when James analyzes the films and shares his observations with Mandy and Sarah, the recordings are pixelated. After Flex gets off the phone, the ocean rescue centre is further out into the sea than in the next scene. In Wales, this series has 16 episodes, with the series being aired in two-halves with 8 episodes each (i:e Series 1 is Series 1a, and Series 2 is Series 1b). The last 8 episodes of Series 1b were broadcast as part of the second series in England and in most other countries. Production wise, it is most likely that the first 12 episodes were originally made for this seasons' production between late 1986-1987, with the last 4 episodes being made much later on sometime in 1988, due to the fact that character models where given a slight update towards them (such as them being given new faces).

When Sam is talking to Charlie, his line "ever since we were children, and we used to watch that old firemen show on television" could presumably be a fourth wall breaking reference to the Fireman Sam television series itself.

The Cover sleeve features a promo image from the episode, ' Lost Ring', despite the fact that 'Lost Ring' does not feature on the tape. When the first series originally aired in English on BBC One London in 1987, the episodes were aired at 15:50. [1]

At the start of the tape, there is an advertisement for BBC Toybox magazines and the videos ' Toybox 1' and 'The Best of Noddy'. Before the rope bridge rescue, when Don Sledgehammer is telling Sam what to do, there are no vehicles behind them, but a few seconds later, Flex's trailer and some other vehicles are behind them.

The Original 1991 release has a slide advertising The Hero Next Door, Lost Cat, Sam's Day Off and Snow Business. and Norman's Pitfall.
