"Naughty" Norman Stanley Price[4][5] is a boy who loves playing practical jokes all the time and skateboarding. He usually fails to set appropriate limits on his own behaviour, and is known to cause mischief and sometimes causes havoc at the fire station and for many of Pontypandy's residents, but there are rare moments when he is the one not in trouble and even helps to save the day. As of the thirteenth series, Norman is more well-behaved and less troublesome. He is the son of Dilys', the cousin of Derek, nephew of Dylan and Phyllis, grandson of Dilys' father and great-grandson of Dilys’ grandmother.

Biography[]

Norman has shown interest in becoming a fireman himself one day, but he also has said he was going to be a shepherd when he grows up as stated in Sheepdog Trials. He loved strawberries (as stated when vanilla ice-cream was dropped on his head in What Goes Up), but went off them in The Wishing Well after eating too many and feeling sick afterwards. He holds the Gwyneth Book of Records for being rescued fifty-seven times as of Record Breakers.

Personality[]

Norman is a troublemaker who causes trouble around Pontypandy all the time. He often causes emergencies and puts himself in danger. He is far more mischievous and troublesome as of the sixth series to the twelfth series as he causes emergencies way more often than he did in the first series to the fifth series. However, starting in the thirteenth series, Norman's personality and traits have been toned down to the fact where he is well-behaved and only causes emergencies on occasions. He is also shown to be knowledgeable about science, as seen in Chemistry Set and Trevor's Boot Sale.
