News of a revamped Bob the Builder- from this, first shown 16 years ago
to this – due to be aired in the spring…
New voices too for Bob and Wendy- Lee Ingleby [George Gently’s sidekick Bacchus, and also star of Our Zoo] and Joanne Froggatt [Downton Abbey]
The new characters will be computer-generated for the new series rather than created using stop-motion animation. Bob also has a new home in the busy town of Spring City, and will use a computer for his building designs, but he'll still be seen working at his yard in the village of Fixham. I am looking forward to this.
What do you mean “It’s a programme for children”?!
I like the old Bob but I suppose the new one is more realistic. I wonder if that is why I can't find any little BTB toys in the shops. Looking for little ones to put in a carry tin for my little nephew for Christmas.

Does a certain other Bob watch too? !
ReplyDeleteGood to see it will be a bit more realistic looking.
I don't like it at all he looks too human and I hope they don't change pilchard too much (he's my favourite character)
ReplyDeleteI prefer the old one too.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look out for this. George Gently was filmed around here - always interesting to hear the accents!
ReplyDeleteI will miss the old Bob.

I have never seen it. My kids were just growing past it when it came out I think. Or maybe I just managed to make them think they were. There is nothing to beat Pingu I'm afraid.
