whats happened to fireman sam?

[lizandlulu]

its changed and not for the better

the people arent made of plastacine anymore, but are all animated

its just not right

yep sometimes change is not good looks awful and cheap

I hate the new CGI Fireman Sam it's WRONG WRONG WRONG. If they do that to Postman Pat I'll have to burn the TV

I agree, its weird looking. And he doesn't sound as Welsh anymore.

And the theme tune is not so good as the old one either!
But, I do quite like the new postman pat special delivery service one, its very EuroPop!

the old theme tune is wonderful

Has it changed again? There are already two versions...are you sure they're not jsut repeats? And what's CGI please?

CGI is Computer Generated Imagery, used for a lot of the special effects on Doctor Who among other things.

I saw the new one - had to turn over. I saw a quite old one too - it was great!

I am actually glad we have some new episodes to watch - I was so so sick of watching the same old episodes over and over again (why do children never tire of this???)

Dh thinks the twins dad (Charlie the fisherman?) sounds like Matt Lucas when he is being 'the only gay in the village'

Wiki has helpfully advised that there were two runs of Fireman Sam - 1987-1994 and then in 2005. My mum bought DS a DVD which I thought looked odd, and the theme song sounded different.

I have identified thanks to Wiki (and the fact there is a black character called Mandy Flood) that the DVD she has bought has 2005 episodes, not the original series.

So is this CGI business the 2005 version, or is there a third version?

Theres a third version. The first they are all very Welsh, the second its better quality and the accents are not so noticable. In the third Dilys has a supermarket (and no curlers), and the twins actually have parents
