Fireman Sam Classic season 3 episode 5, titled "Trevor's Boot Sale," revolves around Trevor Evans, Pontypandy's resident bus driver, and his efforts to sell all of his old belongings at a boot sale. While the adults are engrossed in the sale, the children - Sarah, James, and Mandy - are preoccupied with their own fundraising effort - collecting money to help the local animal shelter.
As Trevor sets up his stall at the boot sale, he brings out all sorts of old items - from books to tools to an old radio cassette player that he is particularly fond of. As he reflects on the memories associated with each item, he realizes that it will be hard to part with them. However, he is determined to do so as he knows that he needs to make space in his home for new things.
Meanwhile, Sarah, James, and Mandy set up their own stand to raise money for the animal shelter. They have organized a "Guess the Weight of the Cake" game, with the winner receiving a homemade cake baked by Mandy's mom. While there aren't many takers initially, the children soon come up with a new strategy - offer free cups of tea to those who stop by their stand. This proves to be a successful tactic, and they manage to collect a lot of money for the animal shelter.
As the boot sale progresses, Trevor begins to feel reluctant to part with his items. However, he is determined to stick to his decision and keeps encouraging people to buy his things. At one point, he even lets go of the old radio cassette player that he was so fond of.
Just as the boot sale is coming to an end, a lady arrives looking for a specific book that Trevor has. However, Trevor has sold it to someone else. Feeling bad for disappointing the lady, Trevor offers to give her his personal copy of the book. She thanks him and leaves.
As the day draws to a close, Trevor realizes that he has sold everything. Although he feels a little sad to let go of his old belongings, he also feels happy about the new space he has created in his home. He packs up his stall, ready to head home.
Just as he is about to leave, the children - Sarah, James, and Mandy - give him a surprise. They have raised a significant amount of money for the animal shelter and want Trevor to donate it on their behalf. Delighted by their gesture, Trevor rushes off to donate the money.
Overall, "Trevor's Boot Sale" is a heartwarming episode that highlights the importance of letting go of old things to make room for new ones. It also emphasizes the significance of community, with the children and adults coming together for fundraising and other activities.
