Keith Chapman made the British children's animated TV show Bob the Builder. In the original series, Bob is a building contractor who specializes in masonry. He appears in a stop-motion animated show with Wendy, other neighbors and friends, and a group of work vehicles and tools that look like people. The show is shown in many countries, but it comes from the UK, where Neil Morrissey, an English actor, gives Bob his voice. Later, starting with the spin-off series Ready, Steady, Build!, the show was made with CGI animation. In each episode, Bob and his group help with renovations, construction, repairs, and other projects as needed. The show focuses on how to solve problems, work together, get along with others, and learn new things. "Can we fix it?" is Bob's catchphrase, and the other characters answer, "Yes, we can!" This phrase is also the name of the show's theme song, which was a UK number one hit that sold a million copies.
