On the day of the contest to find Pontypandy's Most Talented Pet, Radar comes to the rescue of his fellow animal friends when a fire breaks out at the Wholefish Cafe.
[THEME MUSIC]
THEME SONG: When he
hears that fire alarm,
Sam is always cool and calm.
[SIREN BLARING]
If you're stuck
give him a shout,
he'll be there to help you out.
So move aside, make
way for Fireman Sam,
'cause he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam, 'cause
he's brave to the core.
Sam is the hero next door.
Could all contestants and
their four legged friends
please get a wriggle on?
The Pontypandy pet
show is about to begin.
[WHINES]
Sorry, Radar.
I know you would love to
compete in the pet show,
but we've got more
important things planned
for you back at the station.
(WHISPERING) It's bath day.
[LAUGHS] Well,
good luck, mate.
[LAUGHS] I'll need it.
You're the best pet in
Pontypandy, are you, boy?
You'll easily win the pet show.
[MEOWS]
MANDY: No, way!
Nipper is going
to win paws down!
Well, as long as you keep
him on his lead, Mandy.
He can be quite a
scamp, you know?
[BARKS]
Don't worry, Garreth.
I will.
You don't need to
keep Lion on a lead,
because cats are
better than dogs.
No, they're not!
Dogs are better than cats!
Are not!
Well, we'll see about that.
[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK]
Ladies and gents, boys
and girls, all creatures
great and small--
welcome to the
Pontypandy pet show,
starring celebrity judge,
Station Officer Steele.
[LAUGHS] Thank you, thank you.
Round one--
amazing pet tricks.
Nipper is definitely
going to win this round.
Station Officer Steele
will love our routine.
Not as much as he'll
love our routine.
Ooh.
Oh!
[MEOWS]
Well, wait 'till you see this.
Nipper will perform an
incredible fetch routine
with one of Station
Officer Steele's slippers.
What?
Uh, where did you get that?
Nipper-- fetch!
Drop it, Nipper!
I said "fetch," not "eat!"
Heh, there's a good lad.
Ew.
Oh, that's a funny place
to wash the dishes, Sam.
I'm not doing
the dishes, Elvis.
I'm giving radar his B-A-T-H.
B-A-T-H?
Oh-- bath!
[WHINES]
Oh, I love a good bath.
You said the word!
Radar, here, boy!
Oh!
Sorry, Sam.
[RADAR BARKING]
[GRUNTS] Gotcha.
Round two-- the
obstacle course.
Nipper's definitely
going to win this round.
Dogs are great at obstacle
courses, aren't they, boy?
[NIPPER BARKS]
So are cats.
I hope.
[BLEATS]
Aw, Woolly!
This is not a good time
to get stage fright!
Come on, Norris!
You can do it!
Whee!
Bravo, Norris!
Yay!
But-- but James
just lifted him over!
[SEESAW SQUEAKS]
That's it, Lion!
Clever cat.
Come on, boy!
Go for it!
Good dog!
[PANTING]
Nipper!
Oh!
Oh!
You ate my sausage sandwich!
[NIPPER WHINES]
It's all right, boy.
Just a quick dip, and then
we'll go and play fetch.
[WHINES]
Radar!
Oh, dear.
It's supposed to be
Radar's bath day, not ours.
I think I know
just the man to call.
[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK]
All right, folks, let's take
a squiz at the score board.
Lion, the superstar kitty,
is way out in front.
Oh, I can't believe
we're being beaten
by a guinea pig and a sheep!
I'm sorry, Mandy--
sorry to tell you
that this proves
that cats are better than dogs.
Ha!
No, it doesn't.
There's one more round,
and Nipper can't fail.
Moose, thanks so
much for stopping by.
Today, you can call me
"the doggy charmer."
Any ideas how we can get Radar
to take a bath Moo-- uh, I--
I mean, mister doggy charmer?
It's simple, eh?
All you have to do
is act like a dog.
[BARKS]
[PANTING, WHINING]
[GROWLS]
[BARKS]
Now that he thinks
I'm a dog, I show him
how much I love taking a bath.
Now I just need to
step out of the bath,
and then Radar will get in.
Whoa!
[RADAR BARKS]
Radar, stop!
Come back!
Well, now I feel a
little bit silly, eh?
Round three-- the 100
metre pet and owner dash.
20 bonus points to the winner.
Ready, steady, go!
And they're off and racing!
Mandy and Nipper take the lead,
followed by Sarah and Lion.
Coming in at third place
is Norman and Woolly,
who stopped to eat some tucker.
Come on, Woolly!
And racing up the rear is
Norris, fast as lightning!
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
Oh!
Nipper could go so much faster
if I wasn't holding him back.
[PANTING]
Nipper, if I let you off the
lead, do you promise to behave?
[BARKS]
I'll take that as a "yes."
Run like the wind, boy!
[BARKS]
[LION MEOWS]
Nipper, no!
[NIPPER GROWLS]
Keep running!

Fire at the Wholefish
Cafe, and Nipper and Lion
are trapped inside!

[SIREN APPROACHING]
Firefighter Penny.
Fighter Sam.
[SMOKE ALARM BEEPING]
Power's off, Sam.
I'm sorry I let Nipper
off his lead, Garreth.
Well, Nipper can be a handful.
I'm sorry, Fireman Sam.
So am I.
That's all right, you two.
But you need to keep a careful
eye on your pets at all times.
[WOOLLY BLEATS]
Uh, Woolly wants to know
who's won the pet show.
Oh, well, uh--
I'm not really sure,
considering no one
crossed the finishing line.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Hurray!
Crowd goes wild!
Norris wins by a whisker.
There you are, James.
And there you are, Norris.
Have some sunflower seeds.
[LAUGHS] I do love
that moustache.
And for displaying
remarkable courage and skill
by saving his fellow
animal friends,
a special commendation goes to--
Radar!
FIREMAN SAM: Aw.
[LAUGHS] Good boy.
You can have that
bath another day.
See?
Dogs are better than cats.
[BARKING]
I suppose dogs
might be quite good.
[MEOWS]
[LAUGHS] And I suppose
that cats are good, too.
Congratulations,
Radar and Norris.
Norris?
Where's Norris?
Ooh!
Oh, no!
Oh!
Oh, that tickles!
[LAUGHS] No, Norris!
No!
Oh!
[ALL LAUGH]
