Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is there to help anyone who is in a tough situation.
 * 2) His stop motion model is well animated, expecially in Series 5.
 * 3) John Alderton, John Sparkes and Steve Kynman all do great jobs at voicing him.
 * 4) He is a great helper to his workers, especially Elvis.
 * 5) He acts like a father figure to his niece and nephew Sarah and James.
 * 6) He is very skilled, since he has worked at Pontypandy Fire Station for a long time.

 * 8) He is truely a heroic firefighter as he always knows how to save people.
 * 9) He never became flanderized, even after his show declined in Season 6.
 * 10) He cares for his teammates and always makes sure that the others are alright.
 * 11) He is a classic British cartoon icon like Danger Mouse, Pingu, Bob the Builder, Postman Pat and Thomas the Tank Engine.
 * 12) He is a great role model for children, especially since that his character could influence children into becoming a firefighter themselves when they are adults.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He does come across as a Gary Stu.
 * 2) Even though he wasn't flanderized in Season 6, he doesn't really punish Norman Price whenever he causes an emergency, unlike in Seasons 1-5. He, along with the other members of the Pontypandy Fire Station, always let him off with just a warning which Norman obviously forgets in the next episode he is in and nothing else.
 * 3) His design in Season 6-present is pretty bad.
