Recap / Bob The Builder S 01 E 03 Bob Saves The Hedgehogs

Go To

Bob, Roley, Muck, and Scoop are busy repaving a road when a family of hedgehogs (porcupines in the US) keeps getting in the way and need to cross the road safely. Scoop suggests building a tunnel for the hedgehogs to get across.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • Artistic License – Biology: The US dub refers the hedgehogs as porcupines, but porcupines have long spikes while the hedgehogs have shorter ones.
  • Bowdlerise: In the UK dub, Bob refers the tunnel as a subway, the US dub referred to it as a tunnel.
  • Dub Species Change: In the UK dub, the animals are referred to as hedgehogs, in the US dub, they are called porcupines.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Bob and Scoop when Roley was getting closer to the hedgehogs.
    • Scoop and Muck when the hedgehogs came back when Roley was backing up. Muck was able to save them just in time.
    • After Lofty accidentally scared Pilchard with the tire, he panics and apologizes to her and hides.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Lofty freaks out when he sees the hedgehogs thinking they're mice with spikes.
