Fireman Sam - Triple Pack [DVD]

Product Information

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. 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. During the rope bridge rescue, Sam accidently breaks one of the planks and grabs a rope that was previously meant to be fire to keep balance. 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.

Helen Flood makes a reference to the 1975 American thriller film Jaws, with the line "I think we need a bigger box." The Original 1990 release has a slide advertising The Hero Next Door, Lost Cat, Sam's Day Off and Snow Business. 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. 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. The 1993 re-release has a 5 second slide advertising videos 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 plus The Very Best of Fireman Sam.NOTE: This is the only Fireman Sam DVD to feature all three versions of the show. (The Original, Series 5 and CGI.) Jupiter's trailer comes loose on a cobbled street, but when it goes into the garage, the road is made of tarmac.

Strangely, when James analyzes the films and shares his observations with Mandy and Sarah, the recordings are pixelated.The Cover sleeve features a promo image from the episode, ' Lost Ring', despite the fact that 'Lost Ring' does not feature on the tape. This is the last special to get a DVD Release from Abbey Home Media due to the company closing after Anne Miles' death. It is unknown what company is going to take over the UK DVD releases in the future. 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. After Flex gets off the phone, the ocean rescue centre is further out into the sea than in the next scene. The 1993 re-release has a 5 second slide advertising videos 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 plus The Very Best of Fireman Sam.

In the audience when the premiere starts, Derek is in his Norman costume (minus the wig), but a few seconds later, he's in his normal outfit. When Flex sabotages the runaway bus scene, it's evening, but in the video that Sarah and Mandy recorded, it's the afternoon. It is only going to be routine drill for Trevor Evans on his first day in the fire service until a message comes over the radio.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.
