!Movie-Exclusive Characters

[[folder:Buck Douglas]]
-> "Well, you heard it here first, Space Spotters! Fireman Sam says that aliens in Pontypandy are not from mars! They're from a much more distant planet!"
--> Voiced by: Creator/DavidTennant (UK and US)
A new character for the 2017 special "Alien Alert". He is an alien hunter and a television presenter for the TV show "Alien Quest".
* AntiVillain: Despite him being called a "humorous villain", he is actually a nice guy with an adorable smile and a cheerful and friendly attitude. [[spoiler: He's not against Fireman Sam, he doesn't harm anybody. The only bad thing he does is run around in an alien costume, accidentally start a fire, and use remote-controlled UFO's to surprise people in Pontypandy.]]
* CatchPhrase: "Hi there, Space Spotters!" and "Space-tastic!"
* CloudCuckoolander: Buck Douglas himself. He acts pretty weird (in a good way) at some points. He has a pretty strange rotating trademark salute.
* DepravedKidsShowHost: Buck Douglas is a very nice television presenter who enjoys hosting "Alien Quest" and adores his fans. But, when he's off-screen and/or there are no fans around, [[spoiler: he has an "evil" plan to dress up like an alien and to run around, controlling [=UFOs=] to surprise people in Pontypandy. Fireman Sam, and later Norman, notice this. In the end, Fireman Sam and Norman catch Buck Douglas and show the villagers that he's actually a "bad guy". Although, he isn't that mean. He's never against Fireman Sam and the villagers of Pontypandy, and he never harms anyone, but he did accidentally start a fire after Norman shouted, "Gotcha!" to him.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Buck Douglas is like this at some points.
* {{Expy}}: Buck Douglas looks very similar to Wilf from the 2014 CGI film ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat'': ''TheMovie''. They're both even voiced by the same voice actor.
** He also looks very similar to a blonde version of the Tenth Doctor from ''Franchise/DoctorWho'', who is also played by the same actor.
* FilmTheHand: While Buck Douglas was filming his show in Pontypandy, Bella Lasagna interrupts the show. In response, Buck Douglas approaches the camera in anger and almost covers it with his hand.
-->'''Buck Douglas''': Cut, cut CUT!!!
* InkSuitActor: Buck Douglas looks similar to a blonde David Tennant with a soul-patch on his chin. David Tennant is the voice actor for Buck Douglas, that's why the character looks like him.
* NonDubbedGrunts: In some dubs of the film, [[spoiler: Buck Douglas' grunts while he was trying to fix the giant UFO and his scream while he was running away from a forest fire and was scared by Norman Price were not dubbed]].
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Sometimes, when he's saying certain things, Buck Douglas' English accent turns either Scottish, Northern Irish, or Welsh.

[[folder:Don Sledgehammer (AKA Don Bloomburg)]]
-> '''Voiced by (English)''': Kerry Shale (UK and US)
A new character for the 2018 Fireman Sam special. He is the director of the movie that Fireman Sam and Flex Dexter are going to star in.

[[folder:Flex Dexter]]
-> '''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/JohnBarrowman (UK and US)
Another new character for the 2018 Fireman Sam special. He is the co-star and nemesis to Fireman Sam for the movie they're starring in. He is an actor that doesn't like to be out of the limelight, and as soon as Fireman Sam gets the lead role, he gets very jealous and wants revenge against the hero next door.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Flex's FatalFlaw is his own ego, and when Sam takes on the primarily role in Don's movie, while he is only the sidekick, his jealousy drives him towards a catastrophic revenge.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: After setting up numerous accidents that could've gotten people hurt and getting Sam fired, Flex gets no punishment barring a small telling off.]]

[[folder:Professor Polonium]]
-> '''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/DeniseVanOuten (UK and US)
A new character who is the main antagonist of the 2020 Fireman Sam special "Norman Price and the Mystery in the Sky". She is the first female antagonist in the "Fireman Sam" franchise.

[[folder:Doctor Crumpton]]
-> '''Voiced by (English):''' Kerry Shale (UK and US)
The secondary antagonist of the 2020 Fireman Sam special. He's more of a bumbling AntiVillain who is known to be clumsy and dotty, much to Professor Polonium's chargin.
