"When he hears the fire bell chime, Fireman Sam is there on time..."
Fireman Sam (Sam Tan in Welsh) signature song is undoubtedly one of the finest children's theme tunes of all time - and on Friday 17 November, it's 30 years old.

It was sung (in English and Welsh) by our very own presenting stalwart and successful musician Mal Pope, who had previously sung the Superted theme tune. But while Mal got paid a one-off payment of 拢250 for his work, he joked the composers Ben Heneghan and Ian Lawson "could retire".

"I now open my sets with the Fireman Sam theme tune, by popular request," he joked.
"I was signed to Elton John's record label and have performed and toured with some of the greatest names in music, like Art Garfunkel and Belinda Carlisle, but all everyone wants to talk to me about is Sam!
"It's a brilliant theme tune. I'm so proud to be involved with such a great success story."
