Line 8:
** In [[The Movie]] Elvis gets his chance to shine, even {{spoiler|saving Sam's life!}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: When Elvis breaks his leg, Station Officer Steele has to take over his duties {{spoiler|and makes such a hash of it, ''Elvis'' has to save ''him'', earning Steele's respect.}}
* [[
* [[Alliterative Name]]: James Jones, Tom Thomas (see also [[Repetitive Name]])
* [[An Aesop]]: Managed not to be [[Anvilicious]] about it most of the time, and usually involved [[Anvils That Needed to Be Dropped]] anyway.
Line 22:
* [[Cold Open]]: In [[The Movie]] ''The Great Fire of Pontypandy''.
* [[Companion Cube]]: Elvis is very protective of Dummy (later Dolly), the fire station training dummy.
* [[Cool Plane|Cool Helicopter]]: Tom Thomas' helicopter certainly qualifies. Also something of a [[Swiss Army Weapon|Swiss Army Helicopter]] as it's always carrying the right equipment, despite being a bit on the small side to be carrying everything all the time.
* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]: Sarah Jones' voice can reach an incredibly shrill pitch, especially when her brother James is getting into trouble and she's trying to stop him.
* [[Da Chief]]: Station Officer Steele.
Line 32:
* [[Dumb and Drummer]]: Touched on with Mike Flood, who drums for a hobby. It's not that he's stupid - he's a competent handyman and builds a space rocket in his spare time! - it's just that he tends to drum on breakable things. With his ''hammers...''
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: Dilys had one in the aptly-named episode "Dilys' Forgetful Day". She had one after falling from a ladder (caused by Norman), and recovered after hitting her head on the bus. Also, Norman gave his mother [[Fake Memories]] just for the hell of it.
* [[Eek!
* [[First Name Ultimatum]]: "NOR-MAN!"
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Brownwyn, although it comes back to bite her somewhat when she wishes at a well that Lion would stop hunting birds. Norman qualifies as well, especially where Wooly and Lambykins are concerned.
* [[Geographic Flexibility]]: In the CGI season, Pontypandy has somehow acquired a coastline.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Elvis, who's a very competent firefighter and who's shown to take the lead on the (very, very rare) occasions Sam's not around.
* [[Granola Girl]]: Bronwyn has hints of this, including giving Dilys a dream catcher for her birthday and believing in a lucky stone.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Elvis and Mike Flood play music together and are paired up for a three-legged race, to their evident delight. It's clear that they get on really well - possibly because they're the only ones daft enough to put up with each other.
Line 46:
* [[Job Title]]
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Norman Price rarely gets punished for the many, many problems he causes. Even starting the {{spoiler|''Great Fire of Pontypandy''}}, putting the lives of every main character in danger along the way, only results in a telling off from his mum. Presumably he serves his punishments after the credits roll...
** There was actually ONE episode, Floating Cart, where Sam made Norman go around fixing everything that he'd broken.
* [[The Kiddie Ride]]: Jupiter was made into one with a figure of Sam attached to it.
* [[The Klutz]]: Mike Flood, the village handyman, whose main job sees to be mending things that he's previously broken.
