Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder is the titular protagonist of the children's television series of the same name and its eponymous 2015 reboot. He is a general contractor and runs his own construction yard based in Bobsville, later in Sunflower Valley, and now in Fixham Harbour. Bob is from a family of builders - his father Robert is also a builder and so was his grandfather Billy. He is assisted by Wendy and a host of anthropomorphic vehicles in various projects in and around town. He is not good with computers. Some of the problems in the show arise from Bob's habit of forgetting to turn his mobile phone on. He also is the owner of Pilchard the cat.
In the 1999-2011 series, he is voiced by Neil Morrissey (who also voices other characters like Roley, Lofty, Farmer Pickles, Mr. Fothergill and Mr. Angelo Sabatini) in the UK, and by the late William Dufris in the Original Series, Greg Proops in the first five seasons of Project: Build It and its Sprout Diner webisode, and Marc Silk in its last two seasons and Ready, Steady, Build! in the US. In the 2015 reboot series, he is voiced by Lee Ingleby in the UK and Colin Murdock (who also voices Mr. Pteranodon in Dinosaur Train) in the US.
==Personality==
Bob is a very passionate man who always shows determination to get jobs done and to encourage everyone else. He is also a fun-loving person in general and very smart. During a crisis or problem, he isn't one to lose focus and often comes up with ideas on how to fix things.
He acts as a parental figure to his fleet of machines and makes sure to keep them in order. While he is honest about things like feelings or when someone messes up, Bob is nowhere mean or strict. 
He doesn't get upset when someone makes an accident, but he will be sure to tell them where they messed up. He also seems to have a soft spot for Wendy.
==Appearance==
In the 1999-2011 series, Bob is a tan, fair-skinned man with small black eyes, a medium sized nose and brown hair. As he is a builder, he is often seen wearing his construction gear, consisting of a red and orange chequered shirt, faded light blue dungarees, brown boots, and a yellow hard hat. Around his waist, Bob also has a tan-colored tool belt. In the 2015 reboot, Bob is still a fair-skinned man with brown hair, but he also has brown eyes. As he is a builder, he is often seen wearing his construction gear, consisting of a red and yellow chequered shirt, a faded white and blue waistcoat with a white B on the back, faded blue trousers, brown shoes, and a yellow hard hat with a golden B on the front. Around his waist, Bob also has a brown-coloured tool belt.
