[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.
