Bob and company are repairing Farmer Pickles' pipework. Wendy can't find Pilchard - she's asleep in one of the pipes Travis is carrying. As Lofty manoeuvres the pipe she's nearly buried but escapes into Scoop's front bucket.
Bob, Scoop and Muck are repairing a tunnel. Muck goes ahead with a load of bricks but the generator breaks down, the light goes and Muck is stranded. He's scared of the dark! Bob and Lofty try to get him out but it's Pilchard's ghost-like miaowing which saves the day.
A storm causes damage giving Bob lots of work - he goes off to clear a road leaving Muck and Lofty to help Farmer Pickles. Pilchard climbs a tree, bringing it down beside a nest of ducklings. Lofty can't cope. So Speedy Bird alerts Bob and Scoop who lift the tree, save the ducks and rescue Pilchard!
Bob's building a dance floor in a field for the line dancing competition. He rushes home for a last-minute practice as he's entering with Mavi, but she's sprained her ankle. Wendy suggests standing in. As Bob and Wendy dance the night away, the machines decide to have their own dance!
Bob has a cold and can't finish the resurfacing job. Wendy leads Dizzy, Muck and Roley to the site while Scoop and Lofty look after Bob. When Dizzy kicks a ball into wet concrete she goes after it and sinks. Wendy and Muck go for Lofty to rescue her. Will they finish the job in time?
Bob and company are working on the road. Just as Roley is about to flatten some chippings, Bob spots a family of hedgehogs and saves them. Bob decides they need a subway to cross the road safely. Muck takes them to the yard while Bob and gang build a subway for the grateful hedgehogs.
Bob finds some pipes that make a noise like a trumpet, and makes them into a bugle. It sounds awful but Bob continues to practice into the early hours. Then Roley accidentally rolls over it. Bob is upset at first but happy when Wendy thinks it now sounds like wind chimes!
It's Bob's birthday but everyone pretends they've forgotten as they're throwing him a surprise party. Bob goes off to mend the stable wall, while Wendy makes a cake. Dizzy and Muck make one too - a concrete one! Even greedy Spud helps. When Bob returns, he's delighted with his birthday surprise - and two cakes!
Bob is ready to paint the white lines on a new bit of road, but he's called away so Spud attaches the machine to Travis and sends him off. Roley and Farmer Pickles give chase one way while Bob and Muck go the other. A crash is averted but the machine tips over, and white paint spills out!
Spud persuades Scoop and Travis to have a race to see who's the fastest. Travis fears he won't beat Scoop but Spud has a plan. As they race Spud obstructs Scoop's path, but Scoop manages to win.
In this charming animation, Bob is building a shed for Travis but is stranded when naughty Spud takes the ladder to go apple picking. Bob tries unsuccessfully to get help until Wendy brings Lofty the crane to rescue him. Spud appears with tummy ache - too many apples!
Launching into karate routines, Spud doesn't notice when his nose drops off and rolls down a mole hole. Dizzy notices and organises a search party. The machines find nose-like objects - a traffic cone or bicycle horn. Luckily, the moles push the nose back out and Spud is delighted!
It's harvest time but Farmer Pickles' barn is about to collapse. Bob and the gang work against the clock to repair it but a summer storm threatens. Muck helps Pickles with the harvest. Will they get the harvest in before the rains and will Bob finish the barn in time?
