List of London's Burning episodes

Blue Watch are called to rescue a 'trapped' man, but to their amusement it turns out he has trapped his private parts in a curtain ring. Josie resolves the situation by suggesting he use ice to reduce his 'swelling'. Later they rescue three children trapped in a burning house, but one of them dies. Bayleaf angrily rants at the mother when he realises she had left the children alone in the house and has gone to a disco.

Ethnic is promoted to Leading Firefighter at Archway, so Blue Watch plans a surprise leaving dinner for him. The day before his last shift, he takes a day off. Two policemen are patrolling Ethnic's estate when they are attacked by rioters.

As cars are firebombed, the watch arrives and they quickly find themselves under attack. Charisma is separated from the rest of the watch and is attacked by a group of rioters. Although off duty, Ethnic decides he can't just stand there and just watch, rushing to Charisma's defence. Labelled a "traitor" by one of the rioters, a concrete slab is thrown at him from a balcony, killing him instantly. Charisma returns to find his dead body.

The next day, the watch silently eat what was to have been Ethnic's surprise leaving dinner. Charisma starts to cry but he holds back his tears as the watch is called to roll call.

Blue Watch is called to a house fire in the living room, where the stereo has caught fire. Colin rescues the fish who were on dry land after the aquarium burst and puts them into another aquarium without thinking. The little girl who owns the fish gets the shock of her lifetime when she sees her fishies having been butchered by the piranhas who live in the other aquarium...

Kelly is fed up with Beattie's kids and asks George to throw them out again. When he refuses, she moves out and back in with her own parents. Doctors suggest a transplant procedure for Jamie to Recall and Laura. Nick finds that he has made the local headlines with his furious speech against the motor trade and gets a grilling from ACO Bulstrode and goes to see the widow of the man who had died in the crash. Her grief makes him crumble at last. Jean is fuming with jealousy when Sicknote and Cynthia kiss rather too passionately during rehearsals. Zoe is happy when Colin asks her out but instead of a posh restaurant she expected, he takes her to a greasy Fish & Chip Van, She asks him to move in with her, but Colin can't stand up to his bossy mother. Kate worries about being pregnant after her one night stand with Ian and during a shout at a burning warehouse she absent-mindedly turns off the sprinkler system and endangers Kevin and Malcolm's lives and Nick furiously reprimands her.

Sicknote goes to visit Cynthia at home. Helen complains about Malcolm choosing the Brigade over their relationship. Kelly secretly hopes that George will come and take her home, but her mother sends her to her room like a little child and tells George on the front door to get lost. Zoe is furious that Colin still hasn't talked to his Mum about moving out. In the end, both Colin and George are forgiven. Sicknote and Cynthia start rehearsing and end up kissing in earnest. After Kate's refusal to get in touch with Ian, her flatmate Mary interferes and goes to talk to him. Kate is not happy when she comes home to find him on the couch, knowing about her pregnancy. Bayleaf receives a postcard from Melanie, confirming that she has been taken to Spain by her mother. Malcolm has been lumbered with showing a Wartime Fireman around the Brigade museum but finds himself enjoying listening to the old timer's story and it helps him come to a decision. The Watch are stunned when Malcolm comes to Blackwall to hand in his Resignation and clear his locker. They don't get a chance to say a proper goodbye to him as they are on duty and Malcolm will be in Brussels by the time they finish. Malcolm collects his things and leaves quietly, never to return.

Blackwall Blaze is ready for their first Basketball match, but the opponents turn out to be a lot taller - and better. Colin gets knocked on his nose and drops out, so that coach Hallam has to join himself, but to no avail. Blue Watch suffers a miserable defeat. Hallam suggests to go boozing in a strip club to cheer themselves up, but the club has been closed and the pier is deserted. The mood is as gloomy as the weather, just when they see a girl about to jump into the sea from the pier. Recall and Hallam heroically jump into the sea after her to save her - their day out turns into another rescue operation. In the end, they find an open pub, where they get drinks and flirt with women. Hallam, Sicknote and Bayleaf, racked by private problems are glum and get drunk. Jaffa first urges them to go home, but loses his mind over a woman and is later found in their camper with his trousers down, much to Hallam's disgust. Bayleaf cries about Melanie on Sicknote's shoulder. Colin is so drunk that he has the courage to phone Zoe in London and propose to her - while the others laugh themselves silly. Zoe, who's with Kelly, is beside herself with joy. Hallam's blissful memories of their night out are shattered when Sandra finds a picture of the "Heroic Firemen" in the morning paper - showing them surrounded by women and appearing to be having fun.

The private eye tells Bayleaf and Claire that he has found Melanie. Sicknote comes home to find Cynthia with Jean making friends - when they get a minute on their own, he tells her to leave him alone. Kate tells Ian that she has decided not to keep the baby in order to continue her career at the fire brigade. ACO Bulstrode sees Nick about the odd memo, but while he can take a joke and laugh about the prank, Nick is furious. Colin hears from another fireman who brings a fresh oxygen bottle that he has been on the butt end of the watch's practical jokes once more and is upset. Kevin goes on his survival training. He is pleased to see Marion coming to visit him at the hotel, but she has only come to tell him it's over. Having lost Vaseline years ago, she couldn't bear the thought of losing another firefighting boyfriend, so she quits. A huge gas-filled pig explodes in a nightclub, causing a big fire and panic among the young clubbers. As the crowd tries to get out of the burning building, Kate is knocked to the ground and trampled on. Back at the fire station she realises that she has lost the baby.

Colin refuses to tell the others where he and Zoe plan to spend their wedding night to avoid having a prank played on them. On his stag night, Sicknote tries his skills at Karaoke. Kate meanwhile decides to give Ian a chance despite losing his baby and invites him to Colin's wedding. The lads tie a totally drunk Colin to a lamp post in the pouring rain until he tells them the hotel's name. Zoe makes a wonderful appearance at the church in an ancient fire engine, while Blue Watch have donned their parade uniforms. The wedding is only disturbed by the loud wailing of Colin's Mum. When Zoe throws the bridal bouquet Ian catches it, making Kate blush. George, Recall, Sicknote and Kevin come to the Clarendon hotel, asking for the Parrish's. But only a couple named Smith have booked in for the night. Suspecting a fake name, the guys barge into the hotel room with a lot of noise, scaring the living daylights out of the poor couple in the room - who are strangers indeed. Colin and Zoe are meanwhile enjoying an undisturbed wedding night at the Tower Thistle hotel. During the next duty, Nick hands over a postcard from Colin, explaining the hoax. The series ends with Blackwall Station's future in serious doubt being and Hallam making a passionate speech to save it.

While Blackwall is on stand-by at another station, they are called to a burning flat, where a young woman passed out after burning some letters from her ex-lover in the dustbin. Hallam's crew can't proceed, because they are stuck in the street where the mothers are protesting against car drivers, so Nick's crew has to tackle the blaze on their own. He risks his life and for once has to be grateful to Pearce who rescues him. Hallam gets into a furious argument with the leader of the protest, but not to much avail. At least they can all return to Blackwall Fire Station. While Pearce and Sicknote muse about the bomb and the damage it could have done, Billy scares them to death by throwing a dustbin onto the ground next to them. When they enter the station, they realise that the army guys have devoured all their supplies in the kitchen, but before they have time to take this in, the alarm is sounded yet again and they race off to a fire in a refuse tip.

NOTE: This was the first episode that was originally scheduled to be shown on the evening of Sunday, 7 September but was postponed until the following Sunday, due to coverage of the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, the previous day as ITV felt it would be too inappropriate to air the episode so soon after such an event, which meant that ITV showed Agatha Christie's Poirot: Hickory Dickory Dock in its place.

NOTE: This episode was also originally scheduled to be shown on the evening of Sunday, 21 September but like the first episode was also postponed until the following Sunday, this time however, ITV showed Alright on the Night's Cockup Trip in its place.

Coleman asks Sicknote to organise a play. Pitbull asks Pearce where he's left his dog and says he's after a new dog and will take him on. Pearce says no, and checks out other potential homes. George goes to Hyper's house to watch the football, and Hyper invites him to move in. Hyper has another visitor who tell Hyper he can't run for ever. Sally shows up to work with a black eye, and tells the lads she was mugged. They all offer to defend her if the mugger is seen again. Dan goes to see Coleman and asks to stand down as Leading Hand, and he agrees. Hi Ho asks Joe why he hasn't got a silly nickname, but a tense Joe turns on him. Coleman arrives just in time to announce Dan's decision. A shout comes in for a capsized pleasure boat, and both engines go off. Pearce and Recall borrow a boat to get closer to the ship. Dan and Hyper jump into the water and swim over, gaining access through a hole in the ship's side. They find 2 people to rescue, one conscious and one not. Dan finds another trapped person, Kim, inside a cabin, but she says she can't swim. Just then, the ship starts sinking with Dan and Sally still missing. Sally reappears with Kim, but Dan is missing. He appears shortly afterwards, out of breath. Back at Blackwall, Carmen is checking over the ladder. Dan apologises for not telling her he was standing down. Hi Ho continues to wind Joe up about his nickname, and Hi Ho teases him for not being clever. Joe, annoyed at the accusation, goes to see Coleman to ask if he could be considered for Leading Hand. In the mess, George asks Sicknote if he'd go for Leading Hand. Hi Ho laughs at the suggestion, so he and Sicknote arm wrestle to prove Sicknote's not past it. They're about to start when a shout comes in to a vicar stuck on a church roof. Carmen and Hi Ho set off with the ladder. Coleman finds Pearce tending to Bruno in an outbuilding and tells Pearce he can't keep bringing his dog to work. Coleman asks Hyper if he'd like to be Leading Hand, and Hyper accepts. Joe sulks and tells Sally he wanted that job to prove Hi Ho wrong. He asks Sally if she wants to go for a drink as a friend, and she says she would. Pearce lets Pitbull adopt Bruno. In the mess, George tells the watch about the dodgy people who came to Hyper's house. Pearce backs it up by saying he's overheard Coleman talking to Hyper, and it sounds like Hyper has something to hide. Hyper steps back from the mess door.

It's some time after the warehouse fire which killed Joe and Sicknote. Blue Watch have relocated to a newly built station. Hi Ho has joined them, along with a new guy, Adam Benjamin. They're attending to a car accident where one driver is a woman in labour. With no doctors about, Pearce will have to deliver the baby, a boy, who the mother names Pearce. George is driving the TL with Adam when they have to stop for a pedestrian who shows them to a flat on fire. George calls for back up from Shadbrook who arrive and make comments about Hyper being gay. They also tell George that Hi Ho's a virgin. Coleman arrives and says even though he's now station commander, they're still his responsibility. On the way back, George passes the old Blackwall, which is being turned into a restaurant. George laments that Sicknote would turn in his grave. In a flat, a young father complains on the phone about a neighbour playing loud music, but gets nowhere. Blue Watch get back in time for the official opening. They set to work cleaning the station. Adam tells George that if he ever wants work on the side, he can sort him out with building or plastering or electrics. Coleman asks to see Pearce, Adam and George about the burning flat. The female victim has claimed that while she was being rescued, some items were taken from her bag by George, so the police have to be involved. Coleman tells Sally that the results of the investigation are coming soon. Sally says she blames Griggs for giving the order to go back in. Back at the flats, some young men are still partying and drinking. The young father confronts them but they just laugh at him. Pearce is merrily spreading the word about George being accused of theft. Hyper offers to set Pearce's pager to vibrate instead of ring so that if Fiona calls, nobody will know. Pitbull and Sally are working on the roof garden together. Sally plants a tree to honour Joe, and Pitbull gives it pride of place. Adam is showing the boys his pheromone spray, and Hi Ho, desperate to find a girl, is interested. Adam says he can have a can free of charge. The leader of Red Watch, Sean Bateman, chats to Sally as she cleans. He says everyone misses Joe. Sally says Dan has gone travelling. Maggie gets Pearce to look over the new mess equipment, but can't sort it out so delegates to Hi Ho. Maggie asks if she can visit Fiona, and he says she can. Maggie tells Hi Ho it's okay to save himself for marriage. Griggs arrives at Blackwall, now determined to bring George down. Hyper is on the phone to the pager company, sending a prank message to Pearce's pager. The rest of the watch look at the photographer taking pictures as the messages start to arrive, disrupting the photographer. At the party flat, someone pushes a lighted wedge of newspapers through the letterbox. The partygoers continue, oblivious. A shout comes in to the flats, and the engines zoom off. The young father gets back to his flat and takes off several layers of clothes. Meanwhile, the partygoers are screaming for help on the balcony. On the engine, Pearce's pager is buzzing constantly with messages like "The stork's coming". An elderly couple, unaware of the fire in a flat below, relax and nod off. Hyper and Recall go into the block and start evacuating it. The young father and his wife escape on to the roof with their baby. Hyper and Recall go into a flat and find five young children unattended. Meanwhile, at the Pearce's, Maggie is visiting Fiona, when Fiona goes into labour. Maggie calls an ambulance, and Fiona asks her to call Pearce's pager, but Pearce ignores the message, thinking it's Hyper's prank again. At the scene, the elderly couple's flat is filling with smoke. Blue Watch find them, and rescue them. Adam is trying to convince the young mother, who's afraid of heights, to come off the roof and onto the cherry picker. Sally shouts up that there are gas cylinders inside. Just then, a huge explosion bursts out of the flats, and Coleman realises Pearce and Recall are still inside.

The radio is playing, and there's news of a stray Russian satellite, full of plutonium, crashing into London. Sally buys a pregnancy test. In the mess, the boys speculate about how they'd spend their last day on earth. Sally sits in silence. She looks at the pregnancy test, and it's positive. Mick asks Frank if everything's okay between him and Sally because of her strange behaviour. Sally tells Mick they need to talk, and he needs to stop pushing her away. A shout comes in to a burning flat which has petrol stored in it, and they all go out. One room is full of petrol cans. Sally wants to take the cans out, and Frank helps her winch them down from the balcony, but the flat explodes and Mick orders them to withdraw. At Blackwall, Frank tells Adam he'll pick him up at 8pm. Pearce is trying to get people to sponsor him to run the London Marathon. Shona comes to see Mick, and brings two lobsters. Mick asks if she's taking her medication. His phone rings, and the DO summons him to a meeting about the Russian satellite, but asks him not to tell the Watch that there's a risk it will fall on London. At Jimmy's bar, Frank and Adam talk to Jimmy about trust and Adam asks if any jobs are available. Adam is wearing a wire placed on him by DI Roebuck. Sally goes to the doctor for an abortion. At Charlie's cafe, Pearce, Fiona and Craig are having dinner. Charlie's brother, Dom, tells him he has no chance of making a success of it. Frank goes to Sally's, and she tells him she's pregnant but not keeping the baby. Shona tells Mick she's pregnant too, so she's stopped taking her medication. Andie and George enjoy the last 24 hours before their secret wedding. Craig looks up the Russian satellite on the computer. His Dad catches him. Jimmy rings Adam and says there's a job tomorrow. Mick tells Pearce about the falling satellite and potential disaster. They agree to tell the rest of Blue Watch. A shout comes in to possible space debris which has crashed through someone's roof. It turns out to be frozen blue toilet waste from a passing plane. Everyone gets ready for the Benevolent Fund ball, but Mick gets a call to say it's cancelled. They go to the Oliver Twist instead. Charlie tells Pearce that if the satellite comes down, he won't get the opportunity to run the London Marathon again. Shona tells Frank she's pregnant and he might be the father. Mick comes to Frank, and tells him that Shona's pregnant. Frank says it'll do her some good to have something to focus on. Adam goes to Jimmy, unaware his wire is off. DI Roebuck says he's blown it, and he can't protect him any more. Charlie tells Lisa he tried to find his biological father and she says she'll go with him. George goes on stage and sings "It Must Be Love" to Andie, very badly. Pearce tells Fiona he's going to run a marathon by himself. Shona leaves the pub and Sally goes after her. Shona confesses she's pregnant, and Sally tells her she is too, but Shona's not to tell Mick. Mick turns up and interrupts, so Sally goes back to the pub, just in time to hear Frank singing "Eternal Flame". He tells Sally he loves her. Shona tells Mick that she and Sally could swap babies. Mick just stares. Part 2 Elaine shows up at Adam's, and he confesses to her that Jimmy Watts wants to kill him. At home, Shona tells Mick that since he got Sally pregnant, it makes sense they get Sally's baby. Mick tells her he's taking her to the doctor. Sally and Frank go back to his, and he tells her that despite all the bad things he's done, he wants to be a good dad. Frank tells Sally she can trust him. George tells Andie that the news about the satellite is true. Pearce sets off for his marathon, and Charlie offers him a shoulder massage. While he's doing it, he slaps a sign on Pearce's back, which reads "Honk if you bonk". At Adam's flat, water starts pouring through the ceiling from the flat above. Adam goes to find out what happened, and rescues a young woman called Collette, who tried to commit suicide in her bath. Elaine comes to Frank's, and Frank promises to help Adam out of trouble. He goes to Adam's contact with £10k and tells him to leave Adam alone. Charlie finds his dad's address is on a caravan park. At the doctor's, Mick and Shona discuss medication, but his pager goes off. DO Ross tells Mick he knows he told Blue Watch about the satellite. George and Andie go to the registry office, and George suggests having a honeymoon at home. Frank tells Jimmy that Adam was set up, and he wants to take Adam's place. He takes a beating for Adam, then goes to find Sally, who's wandering the streets of London alone. Later, Mick goes to see Sally, and she asks him in. He congratulates her on her pregnancy, but says he's not sure it's right, given her health. Sally tells him to trust Shona. Frank, beaten and bruised, calls Adam and tells him he's safe. Charlie tells Lisa he hopes he has a chance at a relationship with her. Mick tells Shona to come and stay at the station so they can be together if the satellite hits. Adam tells Elaine to stay at the station with him. Charlie goes to see Dom to tell him he went to see their Dad, but it just made him realise it was Dom who looked after him when they were growing up. They reconcile, and Dom offers to buy the cafe from Charlie. Pearce finishes his marathon at Blackwall. Everyone surrounds him and make honking noises. They show him the sign on his back. Lisa, Andie and Shona hang around in the games room, Andie lamenting the lack of her honeymoon, so they set up a room at the station as a private room for her and George. Adam and Elaine thank Frank for helping him. Sally tells Frank she had an abortion. A shout comes in to people trapped in a building, and everyone goes out. The wives wave them off. When the engines arrive at an old warehouse, they find no sign of life, but forcing a door, they expose an illegal rave, and the smell of gas. They start bringing people out - there are many of them passed out on the makeshift dance floor. Inside, TV screens hang precariously from the ceiling. Frank grabs one to stop it falling and exploding, and sends Mick back to the outside with a casualty. Frank struggles with the weight of the TV, and drops it just as Mick gets out. There's a huge explosion. Sally grabs a radio and tries to contact Frank, but there's nothing. She apologises for messing everything up and hurting him. Suddenly, Frank radios that he's alive and trapped. Mick stops Sally from running in to get him, and sends Pearce and Adam in. On the radio, they announce that the satellite isn't heading towards England at all, but the plutonium burned up in the atmosphere. The crew arrive back at Blackwall and everyone rushes out to see the burning plutonium fall like fireworks. Sally looks at Frank and smiles.
