Plot
Norman wants to find fame by conquering the summit of Pontypandy Mountain but his ascent is stalled when Woolly the lamb lands on his head.

Trapped on a ledge, Norman and Woolly nibble biscuits whilst their friends raise the alarm. Sam tries to rescue Norman with Jupiter's extending ladder, but it cannot reach far enough. Meanwhile Norman is getting his fifteen minutes of fame whilst he is being air-lifted to safety by Tom Thomasthe Mountain Rescue Heli-pilot, as a reporter is filming the whole rescue for the 6 o'clock news on television.

Goofs

 * Sam should know better than to assume that every single emergency would involve Norman Price.
 * How could Sam and Elvis know that Norman was the one stuck with Woolly on the Mountain before they had even arrived at the rescue seen, seeing James was higher up the mountain too with Sarah and Mandy?
 * What's being quiet got to do with being rescued?
 * Nothing was said about Mandy, Sarah and James being going up the mountain unsupervised as well.
 * While Sam is talking to Tom on his walkie-talkie, his mouth is slightly out of sync with his voice.
 * Jupiter's two-tone horns are really quiet
