This version of Bob was probably modeled around other British children's stop motion shows like Postman Pat and Fireman Sam. I mean it's no coincidence, they all have their profession and name in the title of the show.

As if having a character almost die or get hurt and being saved in the nick of time is not uncommon in Bob The Builder.

[@mr.comment9222]

3:22 feels like a prototype

[@Leothegame2014]

It is

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

It has the animation style of Dig & Dug with Daisy, with music that’s similar to Kipper the Dog, Sheeep (Animated Series), and Percy the Park Keeper, with Bob played by Neil Morrissey, and Digger (Or Dig by some, Scoop in the official series) played by Stuart Greenall, and I find it oddly impressive. The designs in the official series may be better, but seeing this really interests me. This isn’t bad at all. Edit: Bob Heatlie, the person who did the music, also did the theme for The Trap Door (1984 series), Kipper, Anthony Ant, Sheeep (Again, animated), Percy the Park Keeper, and even Little Robots.

now we must persue the Thomas pilot

[@Steamteamrailworks88]

The Thomas The Tank Engine 1983 pilot video is currently unknown where it is now albeit in a rusting film tin unknown where.

[@SmokinBluntsJew]

Oh hey, I know you from discord but sadly, we will probabaly never see the 1981 pilot of thomas , there's a big search going for it right now. Somebody contacted a bunch of people who worked on the pilot, including Britt Alcroft herself. Britt even said she doesn't have it, and doesn't know where it is. The only possible person who would have it would be David Mitton, who unfortunately passed away 12 years ago. If the footage he owned hasn't been discarded, obviously his family own it. And it's not a good idea to go bothering them for a piece of Thomas the choo choo train footage.

Lofty (Lifter/Lift) 6. Travis (Tractor/Puller) 7. Benny (Taker) I Think Pilchard, Bird, Spud And Wendy Would've Likely Had The Same Names

[@Salty_notthediesel]

I have a theory to make this fit in the series: basically this was the start of Bob's building company (hense why scoop is named digger and there aren't any other machines) eventually bob came up with the name scoop, scoop eventually got remodeled into the one we know now
