Has Fireman Sam Always Been Welsh?

Slevin · 8th October 2008, 23:15

Noticed the other morning when I was watching TV fireman sam was on so thought "Better than all this news bollocks I'll watch it"

Cringeworthy, truly.

Anyway, was he always Welsh? I don't remember him being Welsh when I was a kid.

Fireman Sam and Superted both started of in Welsh shown on S4C and then got translated into English

To be fair they gave Superted an English accent when they moved him to normal tv. But Fireman Sam was always Welsh - do you not remember Norman's Mam yelling his name in a ridiculously strong Welsh accent?
