Bob the Builder

Spud decides being a Scarecrow is too much like hard work - he wants a different job! When he finds Bob's toolbox lying in the road, he has an idea. He is going to be a builder - just like Bob. He persuades Lofty to become his builder's mate - after all, every builder needs a Machine to help him. After fixing some window frames in Farmer Pickles cottage, Spud decides to mend the barn roof.

Mrs Broadbent's new 'granny' flat needs decorating before her mother arrives, but the decorators have not turned up. Ever helpful, Bob rashly offers to do it for her, even though he's never done any wallpapering. Wendy has been decorating his kitchen, so Bob asks if he can borrow her brushes etc.

After a particularly hard day at work digging a trench, Bob and the Machines reTyre for the night and a well deserved sleep. The following morning Roley - still asleep - begins to roll out of the yard. Roley 'sleep rolls' towards Spud's field where he nearly runs over Travis. Bird (Roley's ever faithful friend) flies off in search of help.

Wendy is going away for the day so she has arranged for Mrs. Potts to look after the office. Bob and the Machines decide to do up Wendy's garden as a surprise. Unfortunately, Mrs. Potts phones in sick so Bob has to divide his time between working on Wendy's garden and popping back to the office to check the answer phone for messages.

Bob has two jobs to do today, erecting bollards around the Town Hall and putting up Mrs Potts' garden statues. Bob and the Machines start by digging holes for the statues in Mrs. Potts' garden, then move on to the Town Hall job. Bob begins unloading the edging stones, then realises he's brought the wrong ones. He heads back to the yard with Scoop to rectify his mistake.

Lofty, Scoop and Muck are clearing some land near the new bridge, while Bob, Dizzy and Roley repair the pavement in the town centre. Lofty's scared of heights so, rather than cross the bridge, he goes the long way round, past Spud's field. The naughty Scarecrow, looking for some fun, decides to follow Lofty.

Bob's entered the yard into the 'Brightest Builders' Yard Competition' but he's only got a few hours to tidy up and decorate it with flowers before the judges arrive. Meanwhile, Wendy has to get the new football pitch ready for the big match that night. It's all go! Bob and Muck stay behind to sort out the yard whilst Wendy and the others zoom off to prepare the pitch.

Bob and the machines are picking up the Town's rubbish, ready for recycling. Roley is excited - he gets to crush anything that can't be reused. At the farm, Farmer Pickles is going through his possessions, putting junk aside ready for Bob to collect. He comes across a box containing his Gran's tea set which, he explains to Travis, is very precious.

When Bob and Lofty move some stacks of tiles in the Yard, they make an exciting discovery. A bird's nest containing a solitary egg is nestling amongst a pile of old Tyres. Although the nest is not in the safest of places, Wendy explains that they cannot move it because it will frighten the mother bird away. Just as the Machines are starting to wonder where the mother is she returns.

Bob is doing some work on the Clocktower when Lofty, frightened by a bat, knocks over the ladder leaving Bob stranded on the scaffolding. He decides to call Wendy on his mobile, and then realises that he's left it at the bottom of the Clocktower. Meanwhile, Muck, Scoop and Dizzy are clearing a field whilst Wendy checks the answerphone in the office.

Bob has a busy day ahead of him so, to help out, Wendy has decided to clean out his fish tank. Pilchard, naturally, is taking a keen interest in the proceedings. In his hurry to get to work, Bob has forgotten the cement and sends Muck back to collect it. Muck races into the yard, and is forced to brake sharply to avoid hitting Bird. He skids into a lean to at high speed, badly damaging it.

Bob, Wendy and the Machines are building a tennis court. The court has been dug out and rolled flat ready for its special asphalt surface. Wendy, Roley and Dizzy head off to finish it while Bob stays at the yard to build the umpire's seat and scoreboard. Dizzy is in heaven mixing the lovely green asphalt - she pours it on to the court and Roley rolls it flat.

Bob is asked to help Santa by dressing up as him at the school carol concert, but it's snowing. After a series of adventures in which Dizzy gets stuck in a drift, Spud goes snow sliding, Muck becomes a sleigh and Dizzy pretends to be a reindeer, Bob finally makes it.
