Bob the Builder is a British animated children's television series created by Keith Chapman for HIT Entertainment.
The series premiered on 12 April 1999 (1999-04-12) in the United Kingdom (it airs CBBC between 1999 to 2001 and CBeebies between 2002 to 2011) and 13 January 2001 (2001-01-13) in the United States (it airs Nick Jr. between 2001 to 2003 and PBS Kids between 2005 to 2011).
The series was centred around Bob and his crew's adventures in their new home of Sunflower Valley.
The show's intro begins with one of Bob's crew and one of other machines doing the job before Wendy and Bob wave good morning and begin their jobs.
In June 2008, after production of Project: Build It wrapped up, it was announced that the series would be revamped for environmental CGI.
