Fireman Sam was first broadcast on BBC One on 17 November 1987 . The latest broadcast was on 7 October 2022 . There are 239 episodes which span thirteen series, four movies and live-action production. Twenty-six VHS tapes were made from 1988 to 2005 comprising all episodes from series 1 to 4, and some from series 5. There are a number of DVDs available which contain all the series. Though it is advertised as complete, the series 1–4 DVD set is missing the episode "Snow Business". The series two episode "Snow Business" is on a separate DVD. Episodes from series five through eight are available on DVD but some episodes are missing.
Starting with series six, HIT Entertainment abandoned the stop motion animation for computer-generated imagery (CGI) animation and changed the location of Pontypandy from the hills of Wales to the Welsh coastal area.
