I always thought Fireman Sam was part of the Postman Pat / Charlie Chalk / Bertha family, surprised to learn it’s not related.

I haven’t thought about Joshua Jones for approx. 27 years.

May I ask why you were looking around for Fireman Sam content online? It was my favourite show as a kid so curious what you were looking for/researching

You don’t want to know

Joshua Jones seems to have entirely passed me by.

Could only have been going, what, a couple of miles per hour?

Great theme though.

I returned to Fireman Sam recently when my daughter showed an interest in Postman Pat etc. There’s an alarming scene in the title credits when Sam puts out a blazing tent-fire. (Not a euphemism.) It’s chilling.

I was looking for information about another kids show called The Shoe People (Just one of those, Hey I remember that show and wonder if there’s any info on who made it) and as I did google images showed off Rob Lee connection with it and that’s how I found the “Cruel Aliens” pic. Love to know (if I ever meet or contact either Rob’s) if they ever made a fully done pilot for it.
