Spot of Bother questions.


There are some Spot Of Bother questions I want to ask that I'm unsure of:

1 What is that thingy that the white helmet guy is pulling at the beginning before telling them of their fitness training?

2 Why did he send Elvis and Evans jogging? Was it because of Elvis's spluttering and Trevor toring his fitness trousers? Did he say "Pontypandy Fireman back."? before starting his stopwatch?

3 What did Elvis mean when saying to Trevor that they're having milages like they have in the C R R ah?

4 Where is Bella in that episode? They could have put her in the shop whilst Mrs Price was talking to Sam and the kids.

5 Norman wasn't playing another trick at the end of the episode, wasn't he? Did he wished he had gone to do the spelling test at the end?

6 I know the episode is called because of the chickenpox, but is there a real spot of bother in the episode? Was the fire 1?

7 Tv.com says that there is footage from Thief In Pontypandy and Chemistry Set, but I can't see them. Where are they?

And I suppose we'll never know who's to blame for the fire. Even if Elvis had suddenly remembered the stew whilst jogging, there'd be no way of contacting the fire station as there isn't a phone box for miles around.

I've seen that this episode appears on both The Greatest BBC Children's Video Ever! and Toybox Bumper Special. Why did they have to put it on the latter? They should put different episodes on Children's Specials videos. I bought both videos whilst I was in school and on the days when my girlfriend Joanne Myles here www.facebook.com/jo.myles.75?fref=ts wore a white shirt, I muttered to myself "Fireman Sam - Spot Of Bother." because the back of The Greatest BBC Children's Video Ever! is white and on the days when she wore a blue shirt, I muttered to myself "Pingu's Curling Game. Fireman Sam - Spot Of Bother." because the back of the Toybox Bumper Special video is blue. I don't like the episode with Pingu's Curling Game, I prefer the episode with Pingu's New Kite which comes after it on The Greatest BBC Children's Video Ever!.

I find the episode alright and my best part of it was when Sam and Elvis put out the fire and Sam recognising Elvis's face after they put the fire out.
