Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Pilchard
One of The Yowlet's favourite shows is Bob The Builder. I quite like Bob The Builder too. its a nice litle show with good ethics and enough stuff to keep us adults somewhat interested (lthe romance between Bob & Wendy, for example). But my absolue favourite character is Pilchard, Bob's cat. Clearly, the writers of Bob The Builder are cat slaves, because they have the behvaiour of Pilchard down perfectly. Pilchard was even doing the Land Shark, circling around Bob when it was time for his breakfast. Pilchard also gets in the way, jumps on things he isn't suposed to, and is otherwise cat-like. But on the same token, also helps out and loves both Bob & Wendy. I'm a big fan of Pilchard, and really like the show in its own right. Its better, IMHO, than Boobahs or Teletubbies, they just made my brain hurt. Yowie > One of The Yowlet's favourite shows is Bob The Builder.

I know Bob the Builder, kind of, but don't know any of the other characters. Don't know the Boobahs either. My daughter's era was Smurfs, and sons was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Both their favorites was Inspector Gadget. I"ll try to catch old Bob on TV and check out Pilchard! Sherry Sherry > One of The Yowlet's favourite shows is Bob The Builder.

You're in Australia, right? When it's shown on tv here in the USA, American actors voices are used. But it's so veddy veddy undeniably English- the houses, the wallpaper, the landscape, just everything shouts 'England'. So do they use Strine actors for the voices in Oz?

So do they use Strine actors for the voices in Oz? Nope, its in all the lovely and varied English accents. Mrs Potts reminds me alot of how Pam Eyre talks, and Farmer Pickles as what I'd consider a classic "English Farmer" accent. I can't imagine Bob the Builder in American accents - it just wouldn't be right. Yowie > Nope, its in all the lovely and varied English accents.

There's a Pilchard soft toy which meows (more like a Mrrrrrow) when you squeeze his tummy, one Christmas DH and I set all the Pilchards in Woolworths meowing......... ;-) SignatureShirley http://community.webshots.com/user/shirleycatuk Whoever was responsible for Boobah,or however the darn thing's spelled, was obviously on hard hallucinogenic substances.
