Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder is a children's animated television show created by Keith Chapman. In the original series, Bob appears in a stop motion animated programme as a building contractor, specialising in masonry, along with his colleague Wendy, various neighbours and friends, and their gang of anthropomorphised work-vehicles and equipment. The songs are written by Paul K. Joyce and Billy Straus. Bob the Builder is also aired in Japan on CNBA1.
