Fireman Sam: Difference between revisions

* [[Shout-Out]]: The crew (or maybe lookalikes of them) along with additional firemen did appear in It's Very Noisy for Mr. Quiet, a television exclusive [[Mr. Men]] story. Steele made [[The Cameo]] in the GBA version of [[Lego Island 2]].

** The show's own [[Emergency Squad Scramble]] sequence is an almost shot-for-shot homage to the one from ''[[Londons Burning]]''.

* [[Stiff Upper Lip]]: Averted constantly with Dilys, who's practically a stampede waiting to happen all on her own. However, in [[The Movie]] {{spoiler|she averts this spectacularly as she [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|leads Trevor and all the kids, including her son and nephew, to safety in the midst of the biggest fire in the town's history.]]}}

* [[Stock Footage]]: Largely averted, although a few pieces exist. Station Officer Steele ''always'' runs to the printer and reads out the emergency in the same way, for example. And while the animators went to the trouble of using different sequences for the crew preparing to leave the station (each character's helmet has a specific place on the rack, for example, and it's always the correct ones collected), it's always the ''same'' few seconds of footage used.

* [[Talking to Himself]]: John Alderton voiced ''all'' the characters in the original series, [[Cross-Dressing Voices|even the females]].

* [[Tear Jerker]]: The episode "Steele Under Par", when Station Officer Steele is forced to retire from his job.

* [[The Ditz]]: Elvis, who finds mopping the floor difficult. But see also [[Genius Ditz]] above, as he's rarely lacking in an emergency.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Sarah & James.
