Another childhood classic that I grew up with, and still watch to this day, my life would never have been complete without Fireman Sam. The theme song is a real gem and well suited for an action-oriented children's program. A round of applause for Ben Henegan and Ian Lawson for the composition, Robin Lyons for the lyrics and Mal Pope for the vocals.
There are also so many likable characters (even naughty Norman Price), that I can't think of one I dislike, not to mention episodes (from the classic series, anyway). And we have to give the narrator John Alderton a pat on the back for managing to provide the right voice for a certain character.
I also approve of Series 5, for its inclusion of female voice actors, uprated Rescue Theme, and improved stop motion animation techniques (that's far from saying that the animation in the Classic Series is bad, which it isn't). And although the writing isn't quite as solid as it is in the Classic Series, it's still quite good. Series 5 is also proof of how a reboot of a classic TV show should be and should've stayed that way instead of going CGI. Wasted potential, if you ask me.
