Bob The Builder's Machines In Order Of Quality
1. Muck
2. Roley
3. Dizzy
4. Scoop
5. Lofty

I know Lofty is in there to represent the unconfident kid massive but really he's pretty annoying. Scoop is the suck-up milk monitor type but is otherwise bland. Dizzy is problematic in that she represents ALL GIRLS in the Bob universe - the clue is in the name as to why this is MOAR problematic than just representativeness. But she's likeable. Roley is the Snufkin of the Bobverse - a bit more independent and down with nature and animals (however this leads to the HIGHLY DODGY "Roads And Bridges" video in which all the squirrels and rabbits tell Roley how much they love having fuck-off big roads built through their habitat). Muck is enthusiastic and mischievous and is also Lytton's favourite so I can't argue with that.

All the bogus machines introduced later to flog more toys, you only get half a bar.

we seem to be in the very early stages of a Bob fixation in our house - Harry pointed to a pic of Bob in the ITNG magazine and said 'Bob Buddha' despite the fact that as far as we are aware he doesn't watch it - they must stick it on at nursery.

Anyway Bob Buddha would in some ways be a far better show.

As these things go it's pretty good: we got a DVD hand-me-downed off friends which kicked off Lytton's obsession but I've grown to quite like Bob and the gang.

L's favourite shows:

1. Numberjacks (by a MILE - he would do nothing but watch them if allowed)
2. Bob
3. Charlie And Lola (he's now actually understanding the plots and morals a bit)
4. Kerwhizz (I cannot stand this and curse the day he ever encountered it)
5. Harry And Toto (He likes opposites in general, this prog is quite trying though)

Harry's ITNG obsession seems to be waning slightly but he does still love Teletubbies and I'd say that was his no 1 show. However it's hard to say as he seems to think all of it is one vast plotless show called CBeebies.

He is very fond of Bala sodding Mory and Me Too, both of which I loathe. And he LOVES Louie and Boo.
