Bob the Builder's New Look

Bob the Builder has had a makeover with a new look and new voice.

Actor Lee Ingleby, who is starring in BBC1 drama Our Zoo, takes over from Neil Morrissey, who voiced the handyman from his launch a decade and a half ago.

Ingleby - also known for his role as Stan Shunpike in Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban - said: 'I was very excited to be given the opportunity to be the voice of such a well-loved character.

'My little nephew is such a huge fan of Bob that I had to jump at the chance.

'Capturing a child's imagination is so important, and I just wish I was half as good at DIY as Bob is.'

Viewers will see a big difference on screen as the characters will be computer-generated for the new series rather than created using stop-motion animation.
