[Trevor is driving along the road in his bus, humming a tune, when suddenly there is a loud BANG!]
[surprised] Uh-oh! What's going on 'ere there?! [bring his bus to stop at the side of the road] Must be bumpy, this!
Norman Price, I've seen better behaved chimps than you!
[First lines. The episode opens on a blustery day in the countryside and a bus driving down a hill]
It's blowing a gale today in Pontypandy, but a hurricane wouldn't lower the spirits of the ever cheerful debonair Trevor Evans the bus.
[Trevor Evans is singing while driving the minibus when a leaf blows into the windscreen]
Oh! [Switches the wipers on to get rid of the leaf] Ha!
[He drives past a telephone cable which is blowing about in the wind, and it eventually falls onto the road. The camera cuts to the home of Fireman Sam Jones in Pontypandy, the town in which Fireman Sam is set]
Fireman Sam is just finishing his breakfast.
[We see Sam eating his breakfast while listening to the radio]
High winds this morning in South Wales, but moderating later in the day.
Mmmm. [Turns off his radio] I quite like windy days. Wind blows those cobwebs away. I know. [He gets out of his seat] I think I'll give Sarah and James a ring. [Picks up the telephone in the hall] Perhaps we could go to the park after I finish my shift. Odd. That's very odd. The phone's dead!
[Minutes later, Sam is walking in the wind as debris goes flying in the other direction. Inside the nearby cafe, Bella Lasagne, the cafe's owner, is trying to make a phone call, but to no avail]
Pronto, pronto. Hello, hello? Oh, the telephone! It not work!
[Sam enters the cafe]
Hello there, Bella. I'll have my usual. Cheese and chutney sandwiches, please.
Sandwiches, I will make the sandwiches? I got no bread. I phone the baker, but the phone are no work. Oh, Mamma Mia!
Mmm, leave it to me, Bella, I'll see what I can do.
[The camera cuts to a general store named N.W. Price]
Dilys Price wants to get mummy's little Norman from under her feet.
[Norman Price, the son of Dilys Price, exits the shop with his yellow skateboard]
I want to watch the telly.
That's all you ever do. You'll have square eyes, my sweet.
Oh, mum.
Now then, off you go to have a lovely play in the park. [Norman picks up an apple] Norman! [Norman hastily puts the apple back and smiles innocently] Scram!
[Norman walks away from the shop and decides to ride on his skateboard. Then, he goes skateboarding into the park]
Wheeeeee!
[In the park, twins Sarah and James Jones, who are also the niece and nephew of Fireman Sam, are having a lesson on flying their kite with Trevor as their lecturer]
Now then, you hold the kite like so. Keep the string tight arm's length. [Pulls the kite and the string snaps] Oh. Oh, it's snapped. Don't worry, it'll be up in no time. [The kite goes flying off] Oh! Oh, no hang on a minute! [Sarah and James watch their kite fly away] Oh, no! No, come back here! No, come! Come to Trevor!
[Norman is riding his skateboard in the park while Trevor chases after the kite]
Oh ho!
It's brill!
Oh!
Mr Evans! Look out!
[Norman dodges the runaway kite and Trevor falls over]
Oh!
Sorry, Mr Evans!
It's quite alright, Norman.
[The episode opens outside Pontypandy Fire Station]
It's all go at Pontypandy Fire Station this morning.
[Inside the fire station, Station Officer Basil Steele is reading a red book as he enters the kitchen]
Drill day today, eh, Cridlington?
[Elvis is busy making lunch for the fire brigade]
Now one cup of marge to two cup, two cups... [Sees Station Officer Steele] Oh, brill brill. I mean, a drill, uh, Station Officer Steele, sir, but I am making lunch, sir.
Oh, well. Not to worry, Trevor Evans is here today on his part-time fireman course. What is that, by the way.
Well, um, instant mashed potatoes, sir, it's full of fibre, you know. It's very easy to make.
Yes, well the last time you said that, we had to buy a new stove.
Oh.
[Soon, Station Officer Steele is in his office]
Quick burst of the assembly bell. [Presses the bell] Fireman Sam! [Fireman Sam slides down the pole] Fireman Evans, fall in at the double!
[saluting to Station Officer Steele] Reporting for duty sir.
Where's Evans?
[Trevor, dressed in his firefighter uniform, is stuck on the pole]
Oh. [Slides down the pole] Oooohhh! [Hits the floor]
[clears throat] Today, we shall be doing pump drill from a hydrant using soft suction followed by slip and pitch at Bella's cafe.
[whispering to Sam] Doesn't sound very tasty.
Slip and pitch, Fireman Evans, means using a ladder to rescue someone who is stuck.
Oh. Oh, pardon me, sir.
[Soon, the firemen, minus Elvis, have climbed into Jupiter and are now ready to move out as they put their seatbelts on]
All present and correct, sir.
Right, Thomas Street, let's go.
[Sam starts Jupiter's engine and Jupiter leaves Pontypandy Fire Station en route to its destination]
[Bella's cat, Rosa, is stuck in a tree]
[meows for help, twice]
[And Sarah and James are looking at her from down below]
Oh, poor thing. [to Rosa] Don't worry, Rosa.
We'll think of something.
[Trevor waves to Sarah and James while driving his bus and honks his horn before stopping]
Oh, good. It's Trevor the Bus.
[Trevor stops the bus and gets out]
Mr. Evans, Bella's cat's up that tree. Look!
[meows]
She's stuck! Have you got a ladder?
No. [Thinks for a moment] Now, let's see. I'll climb up, my sugar lumps. I mustn't be long, though. The match starts early today. [Starts climbing the tree]
[Trevor is still climbing the tree that Rosa is stuck in. He is almost there when he accidentally removes a twig]
Oh! Goodness me.
[from the ground off camera] Try that branch! It looks stronger!
You can do it, Mr. Evans!
Oh, well, I-I dunno. Um... [He sticks his right leg above a stronger branch] Now, oh dear. [Grabs the branch that Rosa is sitting on] Oh!
[runs off scared and climbs to a higher branch]
Drat it, cat! [Looks down] Oh, dear. It's a long way down. I don't like heights. I feel a bit dizzy, like. Oh. [The branch he is standing on begins to break] Ooooohh!
Perhaps we'd better phone Uncle Sam.
Oh, help.
[The fire brigade are doing fitness training lead by Penny Morris]
Touch your toes, Trevor.
I, I don't know when I last saw my toes. [A ripping sound is heard and Trevor observes that he's ripped his trousers] Uh, oh that's torn it.
[At Bella's Café, Bella is showing her ring to Dilys]
Is a family heirloom, it's a beautiful, no, Mrs. Price?
They can work wonders in class these days, can't they?
[Trevor enters the café]
Good morning, ladies! Oh, a double dose of beauty to behold. Lucky me.
Oh! Oh, you are a card.
I'll have a cup of tea, please, Bella, my lovely. [Sees the ring on Bella's finger] Goodness me! You got a diamond the size of a sugar lump. [Bella goes over to the sink and puts a cup of tea in the sink] You haven't gone and got yourself engaged, have you?
Don't be daft, man, she inhabited that ring.
[Then, Norman comes into the café]
Mum, there's a man in the shop.
Tell him I'm closed for lunch!
From the VAT! [Leaves the café]
Oh! Excuse me! [Gets out of her seat and walks out of the café] Norman, come back here this minute! What exactly did you tell him?
[Meanwhile, Bella gives Trevor his cup of tea]
Now, come on, my lovely, let's have another dekko at that rock of yours. [Bella shows him her left hand, but her ring is gone] Oh. Um, Bella? Where is it?
[checks her left hand] Oh, mamma mia! She disappear into slim air.
Well, no no you had it on when you washed those cups up.
Come here. [Walks back to the sink] It - it must be in the sink. [Looks in the sink and finds that her ring has gone completely] Oh, no no, it's not.
Well, no it's just gone down the plughole, see? I'll bet you anything it has. [Puts his screwdriver inside Bella's sink] We'll just, uh, take the grill off the pole. No, it's too small for my hand. Now, see, I'll try and get it from uh, from underneath. [Starts inspecting underneath the sink]
I no no. Ah, maybe my hand defeat.
Now, which one is the worst. [Touches one of the two small pipes] Um, is this? No no, no no, it must be this one. [Pulls the other small pipe and water comes rushing out, some of which squirts Trevor in the face] Oh! Blooming heck!
Trevor, what have you done?
Oh, come. Come over here, Bella, quick!
I can't! My hand is a stuck in the plughole!
How'd you know it was a spaceship from Venus?
Well, I'm only guessing it's from Venus, could be from Mars or Saturn.
Could be that you are making the whole thing up Norman Price.
We saw something in the sky last night.
I suppose it could have been a spaceship.
Full of aliens, [Norman gasps] Look! Look! Stop the bus Mr Evans.
[Trevor stops the bus and opens the door]
What made that then Mr Evans?
Oh there's lots of quite sensible explanations for crop circles, could be caused by a sudden gust of wind or a freak or maybe someone's been camping.
Or this could be where the aliens landed.
Now Norman, that's enough, aliens don't exist.
Mmm, we'll see about that.
Help, I'm stuck, get me out of here!
Well, well, a Martian with ginger hair.
I'm not from Mars, I'm from Venus.
Speaks English very well.
For someone from Venus.
Well don't just stand there, get me out of here.
Just hang on Norman, whoa!, now, now, don't want you getting stuck in a bog as well, hold on to my legs.
Hurry up Mr Evans, my pant's are filling up with Mud.
[Trevor tries to reach but to no avail, Sarah and James hold onto Trevor's ankles and Trevor tries to get closer and Norman tries to grab his hand]
It's no good I'm sinking, pull me back.
Don't just leave me!
We need help.
Ahhh... now, this is the life. you can't beat relaxing in Pontypandy-- [Dusty smashes on Trevor's belly and escapes] PAAAAA--AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH--AAAARRK!!!!!!!
Trevor, are you all right?
[rubbing his belly] I'm fine. hat happened? Was it a football?
No, actually, a flying dog.
Well, good job that flying dog landed on my tum before I had my corned beef and piccalilli sarnies. Eh? Hang on. Flying dog?
Goodness me, what's all this commotion?
No need to panic Dilys, everything's under control.
We caught this criminal stealing your fruit.
[Dilys takes the tablecloth of the stranger who is revealed to be Trevor]
Trevor Evans, what on Earth?
I wasn't stealing the fruit, I was taking it to deliver to Dilys' customers.
Are you all right?
Well I have felt better.
Come inside and I'll put some ice on that nasty bump.
You really ought to check your facts before jumping to conclusion Mandy.
You think people will be pleased that we're trying to help.
What a climb, I am absolutely exported [exhausted is what she meant to say].
I think you'll find it worth the walk Dilys, isn't it great up here? you know I've seen 25 different types of birds this year already.
Hmmm, is this it then?
I think you might see more if you had the binoculars the other way 'round Dilys, there's a pair of partages over to the left and a pheasant under that bush on the right [suddenly, a whistle can be heard] Aha! what do you think that is? I'll give you a clue, it's very rare in these parts.
Uh a budgie?
No, that's the cry of a lesser spotted wobbler.
A greater blooming nuisance more like [After seeing Norman whistling and Mandy giggling] What are you up to now Norman Price?
You're frightening off the birds!
Sorry Trevor, sorry mom, c'mon, let's find Woolly.
Can we go and see if there any sausages and king prawns left, Fireman Sam?
Sorry, Norman. Gas canisters can stay hot for a very long time. It won't be safe to go over there for quite a while yet.
Oh, I'll just have to take the rest of my sausages home.
And I'll have to take my king prawns.
Ohhh... I am so hungry. I never even get a sniff of those sausages or the prawns.
