Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder Bob the Builder was created by Keith Chapman and first appeared on the BBC April 1999.  The popular children's programme is based around it's main character Bob is voiced by British actor Neil Morrissey.

Bob is a builder.  He likes to build.  And so do his friends, Scoop the yellow digger, Muck the green dump truck, Dizzy the orange cement mixer, Lofty the blue crane and Roley the green steamroller.

Bob has a colleague Wendy who is a builder as well and the office secretary. He also has a cat called Pilchard, and a dog called Scruffty.  Then there's the mischievous scarecrow Spud, who loiters around Farmer Pickles' field.

Spud is always up to no good, undermining the gang's hard work when he ought to be helping.  But between them all and despite the mix-ups, muddles and mayhem, buildings get built and constructions get constructed.
