Bob the Builder

- Season 3

(1999)

Bob has some new boots, but they squeak whenever he moves. Luckily, he is given an opportunity to wear them in when Lofty spots some mice.

It has been raining hard, and Bob returns to the Yard with a mud-splattered Scoop and Muck. He prepares to wash them down, something Muck dreads as she loves being mucky. But she is saved when Bob gets a call to say that Travis is stuck in the mud - Muck is the only one who can pull him out, since she has caterpillar treads. Bob sets off with Muck and Dizzy. Once Travis is rescued, Bob goes back to Farmer Pickles' for a glass of home-made apple juice. Spud appears and starts a mud-pie fight with Muck and Dizzy. When Bob returns they are all covered in mud, so Bob ...

Bob takes the day off to go bird watching while Wendy looks after a job. The computer breaks down and she's forced to ask Bob to handle the job. Then more and more urgent jobs come up! By now it's too late for bird watching.

Mr. Bentley is organising some town improvements: Wendy is to clear the old railway track to make a cycle path, while Bob turns a rubbish dump into a park. Lofty is fitted with a magnet to help shift the rails, and Muck is loaded up with old rails and sleepers to take to the dump. At the site of the dump, Mr. Bentley drops his best pen, which gets covered with turf as Bob lays the lawn. Muck and Lofty - his magnet covered with old scrap iron - arrive on the scene, to be told that they should have gone to the new dump down the road. However, when Mr. Bentley misses his...

Roley finds a tortoise on the building site and the team try to find its owner.

Bob's saw is so blunt that Mrs. Potts's fence is behind schedule. He decides to order Wendy her own saw as a surprise, but unknown to him, Wendy orders a new one for him too. The next day, Mr. Dixon the Delivery Man rings to say that he has a parcel for Bob but his van has broken down. Spud is feeling helpful and takes a sack of Mr. Dixon's parcels - unfortunately, as he can't read, he delivers them all to the wrong people. When Bob discovers that the sack is missing, he offers to track it down. He finds Spud as he finishes his deliveries, and makes him collect all ...

Bob and the crew are so busy that they forget to give Pilchard his breakfast. The hungry cat goes to look for its owner and nearly runs into trouble.

Scoop's left in charge of finishing the Mayor's new garage while Bob and Wendy attend a special meal. Scoop gets rather too big for his wheels and ends up running over Mr. Bentley's special gold watch.

Spud's naughty tricks result in a nasty accident for Lofty, but Bob and the machines get their own back.

Mr. Bentley asks Bob and crew to build a new out-of-town car park. Meanwhile Spud is scaring crows in Farmer Pickles's field, but cannot shake off one particularly persistent bird who follows him everywhere. He decides to climb aboard Travis's trailer, and get the tractor to drive so fast that the crow will be blown off. Heading towards town, Travis has to swerve to avoid Muck, who is coming the other way towing the line-marking machine. The crow is scared away, but Travis's load of corn spills all over the road, and Farmer Pickles insists that Spud clear it up. Once ...

Farmer Pickles agrees to let Muck sleep over with Travis, while Bob undertakes a night job at the tunnel. Muck cannot sleep because the countryside is so much darker than the town. Spud makes some noises to scare Muck, who charges away from the farm with Spud in pursuit. Pilchard, who has accompanied Bob on the night job, hears an owl's hoot and decides to investigate. Worried that she might get lost, Bob goes after her. He bumps into a nervous Muck, who joins in the hunt. Meanwhile Spud is lost in the woods, and hears the owl's cries. He jumps back - right onto ...

After Muck drops and smashes some paving stones, Dizzy comes up with the idea of using crazy paving to complete Mrs. Potts' new garden path.

Spud unhooks Travis' trailer while they are going up a hill. The trailer is soon whizzing away out of control with Spud still inside.
