To think that Norman Price is Fireman Sam's child?

[Catsize]

Okay, I may be over thinking this a little, no doubt suffering from over exposure to Fireman Sam, but....

FS and NP are the only red-haired folk in Pontypandy.
Dilys is a single mum who goes all of a dither is FS's presence.
FS seems overly invested time-wise in NP.
NP feels an innate urge to get into scrapes to see more of FS.

I am waiting to see the 587th episode, when no doubt it will all be revealed, Eastenders cliff hanger style...

If you have seen episode 587, please feel free to share a spoiler.

It just seems so obvious* - I don't know why it has taken so long. Miss Marple may soon be looking for another job. Maybe in Pontypandy.

• Disclaimer: it could be Postman Pat.

dont know about that but norman does always seem to be around whenever there is a fire.

The bus driver imo

I was thinking this the other day, I was also shocked to find out the "wise old elf" from "Ben and Holly's little kingdom" has 3 sons that possibly have 3 different mothers, an he is embarrassed by 2 of them as they are pirates does that mean he was a "player" in his younger years.
Maybe that why magic always leads to trouble.....
I need to stop ds watching TV don't i?

I think they've got more problems with Normans clear link to all the fires in the area ??

Indeed. If only PC Selby lived in Pontypandy...

Norman Price is an ASBO waiting to happen and after watching the FS live show (yes that hell does exist) I'm pretty confident Sam is banging his brothers wife!

I think Trevor Evans is the Daddy, he's always a bit shifty around Gladys.

Dilys def has a thing for Trevor but Steele sniffs round her quite often too. Trevor is black so unlikely to be Norman's father.
I want Penny and Ben to get together. I feel his arrival has sidelined Tom Thomas somewhat, however.
wecwatch several episodes a day....

Really? Trevor is black? I never really noticed.

I think you are right - NP has found his birth certificate which names FS as his father - and, feeling neglected and rejected carries out acts of vandalism, arson and blatant stupidity in order to both secure the attention of and punish his absent father

Definitely. Or he thinks FS is his dad and that's why he's always vying for FS' attention.

I once thought if Dilys posted on MN about Norman, the varied responses would be hysterical.

I like your theory. Have suspected the same for years.

I've always thought this. It explains him constantly starting fires - cry for attention. And FS seems v lenient towards him.
Plus they're the only ginger haired people in pontypandy.

It all makes sense. How did I not pick up on this before? It's so obvious!

I think postmaster pat seems to have fathered most of the kids in greendale too. Charlie and Sarah both have his wiry red hair whilst their single parents are blond.

Postman Pat. Bloody auto correct.

Remember the scene when Dilys says 'Mind your back, Trevor' in a rather suggestive way? I've always thought something was going on there.

nancy, I think you will find it is Postal Executive Pat.
