Fireman Sam: To The Rescue [VHS]

Product Information

Not only that, this is the very last Fireman Sam video to be officially released on VHS in Australia, as well as the only Series 5 video to be released on VHS in that country.

During the National touring of the show, Joanne Skuse would switch her role from Sarah to Norman Price in later shows. The fire fighters uniforms that were used in the show were supplied with thanks to the Hampshire Fire Service. On the Cover sleeve, BBC Video forgot to include Lost Ring in the episode listings, however, images from that episode are seen on the cover art. The web link menu used on this DVD was later reused on the Saves the Day!, Let it Snow and Fun Run DVDs.

The layout of the show was simple, having the fire station, Sam's House, Dilys Price’s shop and Bella’s café all on a turntable, with doors, ladders and windows connected to each other. A new golf bag makes an excellent retirement present for Station Officer Steele. Then, a worried Sam and the crew are called to a fire at Trevor's potting shed - worried, because that's where they've hidden the present! At the start of the tape, there is a promo advertising The Hero Next Door, Lost Cat, Sam's Day Off, Snow Business, Norman's Pitfall and All in a Good Cause. All 3 scenes in act 1 are connected to 3 original episodes. Chemistry Set, Flat Tyre and Trevor's Training.
