# Roary the Racing Car

Roary the Racing Car, stylised as ROARY: The Racing Car, is a British preschool animated television series created by David Jenkins and produced by Chapman Entertainment for Five and Nick Jr. It aired from May 7, 2007 to September 29, 2010. The series was animated by Cosgrove Hall Films for its first series, while Chapman took over animation production for the second series. It follows the adventures of Roary and his racing car friends at Silver Hatch racetrack.

## Overview
### Plot

The series follows the lives and adventures of five racing vehicles, Roary, Maxi, Cici (Zizzy in the US), Drifter (Dragga in the US), Tin Top, and the people who they work for, Big Chris the Mechanic, Marsha the Race Marshall and the owner of the racetrack, Mr. Carburettor.

### Setting

Roary the Racing Car is set around a fictional motor racing circuit called Silver Hatch (a portmanteau of the names of the two British Grand Prix racing circuits, Silverstone and Brands Hatch). The majority of the action takes place at the track's pits and workshop, although we often follow the cars on their laps around the track. Occasionally, the characters venture to external locations such as the nearby beach.
Sometimes, a race will happen, which will take up most of the episode.

### Narration

Every story begins and ends with some brief narration normally from racing car driver Sir Stirling Moss, who is also used as a voiceover. The US version is narrated by American stock car driver Sam Hornish Jr.

## Characters
### Vehicles

* Roary (voiced by Maria Darling) – A red British Formula Ford car who is the primary protagonist of the show and Silver Hatch's number 1 car. He has a very healthy rivalry with Maxi and the two of them are often at odds, but they do show that they care a lot for each other and will often hang out together. Roary is only young and a tad-bit inexperienced at racing, but is constantly learning things from his friends and fellow racers. He sometimes gets into lots of difficult situations over something, but he always makes up for it by making amends. He is very intelligent, friendly to everyone around him and eager to learn. His best friend and love interest is Cici. His other best friend is FB.
* Maxi (voiced by Marc Silk) – A yellow mock Italian-accented Formula One car who is very hot-tempered and is obsessed with winning a lot. He is Silver Hatch's number 5 car, and is usually very grumpy, stubborn, arrogant and pessimistic, as well as snooty at times, often only thinking about himself and not caring about others. He is Mr. Carburettor's favorite race car at Silver Hatch, and has a very healthy rivalry with Roary when it only comes to certain things, like when they often fight over who is the star car. He occasionally bullies and belittles Roary, but does show that he still cares a lot for him deep down. He is sometimes irresponsible and very reckless, occasionally doing stunts that are very harmful and risky. He also loves to show off a lot.
* Cici (Zizzy in North America) (voiced by Maria Darling) – A pink and purple French rally car who is very bubbly, playful and friendly and is Silver Hatch's number 3 car. She is Roary's best friend and love interest. She is also a hybrid car that runs on oil, solar energy, and electric energy. This alternative energy is a focal part of the episode "Cici Gets Fired Up".
* Drifter (Dragga in North America) (voiced by Marc Silk) – An orange mock Japanese-accented drift car and is Silver Hatch's number 6 car. He is the most technologically advanced car at Silver Hatch, as he has been shown to digitally project images on occasion. He is known for his serene, reserved personality and rarely gets angry or upset. When he does, it is to a much less extreme degree than the others. Drifter is also the most docile car, rarely disobeying any orders. Before a race, Drifter likes to calm down by practicing his Tai Chi. His best friend is Tin Top. He has a rocket-powered nitro reserve booster.
* Tin Top (voiced by Peter Kay in the UK and Kerry Shale in the US) – A dark blue mock Southern-American-accented stock car who is very, though unintentionally, accident-prone and is Silver Hatch's number 88 car. He is also Drifter's best friend. He often takes his corners a little too fast and wide and regularly ends up in either the sand trap, the tyre wall, or the mud, generally in a tangled heap of disconnected parts. Like Maxi, Tin Top can make flames come out of his tailpipes. In the episode "Tin Top Gets Scared", he has a fear of mice. He holds the record for the longest tire mark on the Silver Hatch racetrack. Mr. Carburettor sometimes mixes up his name such as calling him "Tick Tock".
* Plugger (Lugga in North America) (voiced by Tim Whitnall) – An aqua blue West Indian Mitsubishi Triton L200 tow truck, who often comes to the rescue when required. Rescues typically consist of him towing other vehicles out of scraps, such as the time he pulled Cici out of the mud in the episode "Roary Sees Red". In summary, he could be considered Silver Hatch's rescue vehicle and tow service.
* Hellie (voiced by Marc Silk) – A red, purple and yellow helicopter.
* FB (Trucksy in North America) (voiced by Dominic Frisby) – A green West Country-accented second generation Ford F-Series pickup truck who is Farmer Green's main vehicle. He helps out a lot with all sorts of things, such as moving heavy hay bales, hoovering up old rubbish or apples, or giving Dinkie a ride. He also loves to explore the race track with his best friends, Roary and Cici, and they love spending time together.
* Zippee (vocal effects performed by Maria Darling) – An orange Vespa scooter who is Marsha's main vehicle, who, along with Dinkie, is the only character who does not speak (and the only non-speaking vehicle character), instead communicating with various scooter noises (mainly her horn), which appear to come from either her engine or exhaust.
* Rusty (voiced by Dominic Frisby) – An old caravan that Big Chris lives in. He does not move throughout most of the series, except in the episode "Rusty Takes a Trip", where Roary takes him out on the track to show him how fun racing can be.
* James (voiced by Dominic Frisby) – A silver British Aston Martin DB5 convertible who is Mr. or Mrs. Carburettor's main vehicle.
* Nick (voiced by Marc Silk) – A blue and orange Lamborghini Gallardo police car who is the main vehicle of PC Pete.
* Breeze (voiced by Maria Darling) – A turquoise Australian-accented Meyers Manx buggy who lives at the beach and is one of Roary's other friends. She is shown to love stunts in the episode "Cici Spectacular". She has what seems to be shells painted below her eyes.
* Loada (voiced by Dominic Frisby) – A dark orange and light green Scottish-accented race car transporter lorry that transports and delivers packages and parcels to Silver Hatch.
* Conrod (voiced by Craig Lowndes) – A silver and red Australian-accented Team Vodafone liveried Ford Falcon V8 Supercar.

### Humans

* Christopher "Big Chris" (voiced by Peter Kay in the UK and Kerry Shale in the US) – The mechanic of Silver Hatch who is slightly absent-minded and Big Christine's son. Despite the absent-mindedness, he is shown to be the main authority figure when Mr. Carburettor is not around, and has a very fatherly relationship with the cars, treating them like his own children, but he is never shown to develop any health problems from them, except perhaps his weight, but we are never shown or told that his addiction, as it were, caused it. He seems to sing as a side-hustle as well, when off duty, as seen in episodes like "Stars and Cars" and "Cici Spectacular".
* Marsha (voiced by Maria Darling) – The racing marshal of Silver Hatch and PC Pete's sister. She waves the flag when the race begins, and also is the one who takes calls from her workstation.
* Mr. Antonio "Tony" Carburettor (voiced by Tim Whitnall) – The flamboyant and very short-tempered Italian-accented owner of Silver Hatch and "Mama" Mia's son. He loves singing opera, but can be shown as somewhat vain when it comes to his track.
* Farmer Jeffrey "Jeff" Green (voiced by Tim Whitnall) – A West Country-accented farmer who is very humble and slightly messy. The Silver Hatch racing crew often come to his farm to buy its products, and he and FB once saved Cici from a mud trap during a very nasty storm in the episode "Roary Sees Red".
* Margaret "Mama Mia" Carburettor (voiced by Maria Darling) – Mr. Carburettor's Italian-accented mother. She is very prim and proper, and occasionally, like her son.
* PC Pete (Officer Pete in North America) (voiced by Dominic Frisby) – A police constable who is Marsha's brother. He is shown to be very friendly, but is quite a stickler for certain rules. Too much of one it would seem, as portrayed in the episode "Law and Order".
* Big Christine (voiced by Peter Kay in the UK and Kerry Shale in the US) – Big Chris' mother who loves dancing.
* Graeme Murray Walker (voiced by himself) – The world's class commentator. He once had a rivalry with Big Chris, until they became good friends with each other.
* "Copter" Keith (voiced by Marc Silk) – A helicopter mechanic and engineer and a good friend of Big Chris.

### Animals

* Flash (Furz in North America) (voiced by Marc Silk) – An anthropomorphic rabbit who likes to cause lots of trouble on the racetrack, but not in a bad way. He also has a yellow skateboard, which he rides to get around Silver Hatch in a hurry.
* Molecom (voiced by Dominic Frisby) – An anthropomorphic mole who wears glasses. He is a skilled mechanic and banjo player. He is, however, not a very good race marshal, as seen when he and Marsha swap jobs for the day.
* Dinkie (vocal effects performed by Marc Silk) – An old grey donkey who lives on Farmer Green's farm. He is the only major animal character who is not anthropomorphic.

## Production

Roary the Racing Car uses a combination of computer-generated imagery and stop motion animation; the latter was initially provided by Cosgrove Hall Films, the producer of Noddy's Toyland Adventures, Engie Benjy, Little Robots, Fetch the Vet, the third to sixth series of Postman Pat, Pocoyo, the original 1981 Danger Mouse series, Count Duckula, The Wind in the Willows and many other shows, and later by Chapman Entertainment's own in-house studio, along with its sister show Fifi and the Flowertots.
The series was created by David Jenkins, who spent four years working in senior management at Brands Hatch Race Circuit. The idea was conceived while watching the Grand Prix on television with his then 18-month-old son, Tom. It was designed and developed by Keith Chapman, creative director of Chapman Entertainment and the creator of Bob the Builder (both 1999 and the 2015 reboot series), Fifi and the Flowertots, and later, Paw Patrol and Mighty Express, with Greg Lynn as the series' executive producer. When the show came to the U.S., HIT Entertainment handled the distribution rights, along with Fifi and the Flowertots. The theme music was produced by Alan Coates and Kim Goody. For scenes that were too difficult to film in stop motion, Chapman asked Studio Liddel to provide CGI animation. The sets and models were made using photographs of their stop motion models.
