Pontypandy is now a seaside fishing village instead of a village set deep in the hills, though most of the locations have retained their appearances. Jupiter was updated again, now with a front end taken from a Volvo FL6. A yellow stripe was added to the front of the fire engine. Minor changes were made to Venus which included a water nozzle added to the top of its roof. Trevor's Bus was updated to a more modern look with angled headlights. New vehicles introduced included Mike's Van in Series 6 , as well as Mercury fire quad bike , Saturn infrared drone , Pontypandy Flyer Steam Locomotive and Bessie Steeles first fire engine which were introduced from Series 8 onwards.
The outfits were updated throughout the series except for Norman Price. This included an update to the firefighter's outfits which added reflective stripes and extra badges to their tunics. Dilys Price received a large makeover which saw her getting makeup, glasses, black hair, a necklace and an updated outfit. The rest of the characters also received minor updates to their clothing. Many characters also had aspects of their personalities made more apparent. Norman Price is far more mischievous and inconsiderate than in Series 5 where his pranks were often planned out and his accidents were due to badly planned ideas instead of outrageous schemes.
For example, the Series 7 episode Pontypandy Extreme , Norman gets trapped down a wishing well after attempting to climb down in order to retrieve the coins from the bottom.
For example, in one episode where a first aid training exercise is taking place, Elvis is told off by Steele for dancing with the dummy that is being used. At the same time, Steele is not afraid to unleash the child within him, showing an interest in kite flying and paper planes; as seen in Series 6 's Paper Plane Down.
He also occasionally causes emergencies himself and often gasps when an emergency comes in. Bella Lasagne made her first appearance in CGI in Series 10 episode Pizza Pandemonium , where the reason behind her absence was revealed as her moving to Newtown. Penny also now has another string to her bow, as she is a trained ocean rescuer and the helmsman of Neptune the village's lifeboat. In Series 9 , other characters were introduced: a coastguard named Ben Hooper , a mechanic and inventor named Joe Sparkes with his vet wife Lizzie Sparkes and their daughter Hannah Sparkes.
In addition, new vehicles were introduced: a jet ski named Juno and a fire boat named Titan. I grew up in such a place, and still go there regularly. I was a genuine child of the Welsh valleys, as were all my friends. So I can safely say there is no child in the whole of Wales, or possibly on Earth, who talks like the children in modern Fireman Sam.
It sounds like a train with rusty brakes doing an impression of Tom Jones. There are very few dogs in Pontypandy, presumably because just being there causes them physical pain. Why would they do this to an innocent audience? For a very small Welsh town, Pontypandy is alarmingly well equipped. The Pontypandy fire brigade seems to have a veritable fleet of emergency vehicles. In a time of austerity when even major population centres like London are having their emergency services stripped , this just seems insulting and wasteful.
In the original series, Pontypandy was a small valley village. What manner of major geological event could have brought about such a major change in the landscape?
Undeniably, such a thing would have seriously taxed the resources of the emergency services that cover the afflicted area.
The trauma experienced by the population of Pontypandy following such a natural disaster has caused them all to behave differently. Dean Burnett has been spending a lot of time with his 2-year-old son recently and promises to return to blogging about grown-up things next week.
