Bob the Builder is a British children's television series about a builder and his team of talking machines, such as Scoop the digger, Muck the dumper truck and Dizzy the cement mixer. It was created by Keith Chapman and made with stop-motion animation using models, and it was broadcast by the BBC. The characters solve building problems with the catchphrase Can we fix it? Yes we can. In the United Kingdom the title role was voiced by Neil Morrissey. The theme song reached number one in the UK singles chart at Christmas in 2000, and the series was sold to many countries. A computer-animated version was introduced later, in 2015.
