## Canon Trivia

### Season 1

* In "**The Kite**" Elvis asks Sam if he's got any plans for the day. Sam says it wouldn’t be easy to make plans because the phones were dead, to Elvis’ surprise.
* In “**Norman’s Tricky Day**”, they slide and fall down the pole with Sam on Elvis, as a result of Norman putting grease on the pole as a trick. When Norman gets his head stuck in the fence after a chase, the two banter while getting him out.
* In “**Lost Cat**”, Sam tells Elvis he’s afraid they’ll have to paint the station door, to the latter’s clear disappointment. The paint cans meant for painting end up spilling from falling out of Trevor's bus in front of the two. Elvis fails to hide his happiness over the ordeal, causing Sam to give a bemused side glance.
* In "**Telly Trouble**" the two were peaking into Steele's office listening to what he was saying. They find out Steele is going to appear on TV for an interview, so they looked after the fire station. During their watch, Elvis wanted to clean the station's windows with water from a tap. But when he struggles to turn it, he resorts to hitting it with a hammer. Once he hit it, water started gushing out. Sam had to help Elvis out of the predicament. Later, they’re seen watching him on TV, where Elvis talks over him and Sam has to politely shush him.

### Season 2

* In “**Sam’s Day Off**” Elvis is alarmed by the news of an emergency at 3 Vale Road, knowing it was Sam’s address, and worriedly drives off to rescue him.
* In “**Safe with Sam**”, Sam gives Elvis advice on how to handle fireworks, correcting any mistake with concern. Once Elvis lights up the firework, it seems as though it doesn’t work. Without thinking, Elvis nearly runs off to the firework, but Sam reflexively stops and grips onto him for his safety.
* In “**The Wishing Well**” Sam is opening a parcel, with Station Officer Steele’s medal in it as a mistake as Elvis observes. They attempt to keep the ordeal secretive so as to not provoke Steele, with Elvis hiding the medal in his pocket. But it fails when Elvis makes a wish and mistakenly throws the medal in the well thinking it was a coin. Elvis feels bad over it, but Sam assures him it was only an accident. They soon find the medal after they rescue Norman from the well.
* In “**The Great Inventor**” Sam is working on a remote-controlled Jupiter for the Best Inventor in Wales competition. Elvis steps in and asks Sam if he could invent a cooker that also makes perfect food. Sam, being busy with fixing Jupiter’s gears, tells him he need not build one because they already have him.

### Season 3

* In “**Dilys's Forgetful Day**” Sam tells Elvis he is going to inspect Jupiter because it is not acting normally. Elvis assures him he’ll soon have Jupiter “flying” like the pancake he tossed in the air. The pancake lands on his face.
* In “**A Spot of Bother**”, after fighting a fire in the station kitchen and telling Elvis not to worry about the emergency, Elvis rubs his face in exhaustion, smearing the spots drawn on him by Norman as a trick. Sam is quick to notice the spots on Elvis’ face were not real, making Sam rhetorically question who might have painted them on him.
* In “**Halloween**” Elvis is frightened over a blackout caused by a severe thunderstorm. Once Sam makes the light go on with the station’s generator, he tells Elvis to stop panicking because the lights were on. Elvis quickly denies he panicked, even though it was obvious he did.
* In “**Norman's Pitfall**” Sam and Elvis have to save Norman, who fell down a mine. Sam has to keep Elvis composed, advising him to quit “jitterbugging”. Once the three are entrapped, they narrowly escape with the help of Rosa the cat.

### Season 4

* In “**Home From Rome**”, Elvis gives Sam bad-tasting coffee, but Sam quickly brushes it off by reading out a postcard from Dilys on holiday in Rimini, Italy, to which Elvis quips, “Poor Rimini!”.
* In “**Deep Trouble for Sam**”, when Sam gets stuck in a sinkhole, Elvis helps to successfully pull him out, but Sam briefly goes unconscious from shock. Elvis is very worried as he holds Sam, uttering “Oh, Sam!” in a fraught tone. Luckily, Sam wakes up and recovers from the incident.
