The re-release has a 5 second slide advertising videos 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 plus The Very Best of Fireman Sam. Production wise, it is most likely that the first 12 episodes were originally made for this seasons' production between late 1986-1987, with the last 4 episodes being made much later on sometime in 1988, due to the fact that character models where given a slight update towards them (such as them being given new faces). At the start of the tape, there is an advertisement for BBC Toybox magazines and the videos ' Toybox 1' and 'The Best of Noddy'.

Strangely, when James analyzes the films and shares his observations with Mandy and Sarah, the recordings are pixelated. 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. The 1993 re-release has a 5 second slide advertising videos 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 plus The Very Best of Fireman Sam.When the first series originally aired in English on BBC One London in 1987, the episodes were aired at 15:50.

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. NOTE: This is the only Fireman Sam DVD to feature all three versions of the show. (The Original, Series 5 and CGI.) A recording of the live action Fireman Sam stage play, which ran in certain theatres throughout the 1990s. 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.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. 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. When Flex sabotages the runaway bus scene, it's evening, but in the video that Sarah and Mandy recorded, it's the afternoon. The New Adventures of Fireman Sam: Disaster For Dinner and a 'William's Wish Wellingtons' video are advertised at the beginning of the tape.

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. Fireman Sam takes a rare day off and takes Sarah and James camping but when the bus catches fire, things go from bad to worse when the tent starts burning. The play has three acts, 'Fire Station Flood Alert' (loosely based on the episode, 'Bentley the Robot'), Jupiter's trailer comes loose on a cobbled street, but when it goes into the garage, the road is made of tarmac. 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.

The Cover sleeve features a promo image from the episode, ' Lost Ring', despite the fact that 'Lost Ring' does not feature on the tape. At the start of the tape, there is a promo slide advertising The Very Best of Fireman Sam, The New Adventures of Fireman Sam and The New Adventures of Fireman Sam: Disaster For Dinner videos. Helen Flood makes a reference to the 1975 American thriller film Jaws, with the line "I think we need a bigger box." The re-release has a 5 second slide advertising videos 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 plus The Very Best of Fireman Sam.
