Now it's time to install the machinery. It's a lot more complicated than it looks. Meanwhile, news of freshly bottled milk spreads through the valley - everyone is very excited. At the shed, Piper asks Bob if he minds him practicing his pipes nearby. Bob agrees, but is soon joined by Buttercup the cow who always comes when Piper plays. Bob's job gets harder when Buttercup eats Bob's instructions and accidentally turns on the machinery - sending milk and bottles flying all over the shed! Bob realizes that he needs help - he's a builder, not an engineer! Together with Wendy, Mr. Sabatini, Mr. Bentley and Farmer Pickles, Bob puts the machinery together! Bob and the team's job today is to build a house for Meg MacDonald and her nephew Piper. It needs to be ready for Meg's new milk delivery truck - Dodger - who is due the next day. Meg wants to give him a big welcome! Meanwhile, Dodger turns up in Sunflower Valley ready to get to work, but is sad to find no one waiting for him - he doesn't realize that they are all busy building his new home! Gloomily, Dodger finds some milk crates and begins his milk route. Meanwhile Piper realizes that some milk has been delivered and Lofty spots a strange new truck in the valley. Bob quickly figures out that Dodger has arrived! They rush to find Dodger, who is delighted that he is wanted after all. Welcome to the team Dodger! http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/14870-504/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/14870-504/rss Sun, 22 Nov 09 08:30:00 -0700 When Dodger, Packer and Scrambler learn about the Three Musketeers they decide to become the Three Musketrucks. Before they can play, Bob sends them to the docks to pick up an important delivery for the Bob Houses. At the docks, Scrambler takes the first delivery that he can find, but it's the wrong one. Returning to the docks, the trucks find another delivery, and board a ferry to pick it up! When the ferry leaves the dock they don't know what to do. Will the three Musketrucks be returned to dry land? Will they make the delivery for Bob in time? Bob is building some salt pans by the beach for Annie Pickles. Scoop is determined to be mega-helpful. Unseen by Scoop, Bob accidentally breaks the sluice gate section of the pans. Then, Scoop slips on some seaweed, falls into the gate, and thinks that he has broken it. He panics and does his best to keep Bob away from the broken gate until he can think of a solution, with chaotic results. When the time comes to fit the gate, Scoop realizes that he has no option but to own up. He's astonished to learn that it was Bob who broke the gate all along. Wendy brings materials to fix the gate and the salt pans are working to perfection! http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/14870-505/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/14870-505/rss Sun, 29 Nov 09 08:30:00 -0700 Bob is building a creamery for Meg MacDonald's dairy where she will make Sunflower Valley's very own cheese.
