Roley and the Rock Star
Tue, Jun 12, 200110 mins
One scorching hot day, Bob is installing a garden pond for rock star Lennie Lazenby. Roley is excited to be meeting his hero. Wendy is laying out a Nature Trail: first she erects a signpost, then Lofty has to clear a fallen tree. Spotting a duckling behind the tree, Lofty panics and the duckling rushes away. Next, they build a stile, when two ducklings appear. Wendy wonders why they are so far from home. As they put up some picnic tables, a third duckling arrives. Wendy and crew follow them to the duck pond, which has dried up in the heat. Wendy takes the ducklings to the Lazenby's in Muck's digger; they can swim in his pond while they find their mother. The Mother Duck arrives - she has been looking for a new home for her brood. The ducks are so happy in the pond that our guitar hero says they can stay. Then to Roley's delight, Lenny plays his guitar and everyone dances!

Spud is determined to take a look and tells Scoop that he has found some even bigger bones in the next field. A curious Scoop cannot resist going to take a peek. Later at the museum, Mr. Ellis is disappointed that the skeleton is not complete. Bob and Scoop go back to the site to look for more bones, and Scoop reveals that he left the site unattended for a few minutes.

Delighted with his new job, Spud decides to find out what else makes Scoop sneeze. Bob finishes work and heads home, with Lofty carrying Spud's Tyre. Wendy returns to the yard with some flowers from Mrs. Potts' garden - a thank you for installing her rotary drier. Spud grabs them to see if they make Scoop sneeze. Indeed they do!

Wendy returns and Farmer Pickles offers her a lift to the cottage. Bob fixes on the gate and asks Wendy how the hedgehog is.

Bob smoothes it out and goes to fetch the shed, leaving Dizzy to guard the cement. Meanwhile, Wendy lets Spud help with the whitewashing, but a string of disasters ends with a wall being painted bright red. Bob returns to find Dizzy exhausted by her attempts to keep Scruffty and Squawk off the cement. Bob suggests that he and Wendy swap helpers. Dizzy mixes what is left of the whitewash with the red paint, giving the farmhouse a coat of 'pinkwash'.

Lofty drops the tank which rolls down the hill, splashing into the duck pond where it smashes the toy boat which Wendy has been testing. Bob returns to find the boat's mast smashed beyond repair. He asks Wendy to sort out the tank, while he heads back to the yard and fits the boat with a propeller mechanism to turn it into a speed boat.

As the bandstand takes shape, the machines' pistons hiss with the same rhythm as their 'Oom-pah' music. Unable to find his music, Farmer Pickles rings the band to cancel the concert. To console him, Spud gives him a paper plane - which he recognises instantly. Spud has to apologise to everyone for the trouble he's caused, when Mr. Bentley arrives for the dress rehearsal.

Bob has a new personal organizer, which has details of all his jobs for the day. However, as soon as Wendy sets off to build a garden wall, the screen goes blank. Rather than admit that it is broken, Bob ties knots in his handkerchief to remind him of his jobs - put up a new bin, clear Mrs. Broadbent's guttering... or is it Mrs. Potts'? He finds one knot there already, but can't remember what it is for. Meanwhile, Wendy is having problems with the wall, due to some well-meaning interference from Mr. Beasley. Bob clears Mrs. Potts' gutter, but should have been fixing her garden gnome. He goes on to sort out Mrs. Broadbent's guttering, but the drainpipe is still blocked. As Bob tries to clear it, a load of grunge shoots over his face. Back at the yard, Wendy helps him clean up and finds a knot tied in his hanky. Bob admits that the organizer wouldn't work - and Wendy reveals that the first knot was to remind him that it needed new batteries.

Thinking it is some sort of treasure chest, he loads it into the back of Travis's trailer, throwing out all the items inside en route, since he thinks they are complete rubbish.

Watercolour Wendy

Some paving slabs are delivered to Bob's yard for a special job which Mr. Bentley the Building Inspector wants done. Meanwhile, Wendy is taking a day off to do some water-colour painting in the country. Bob and team arrive at the Town Square to find that the slabs have to be assembled into the pattern of the town's coat of arms. When Mr. Bentley calls Bob into the Town Hall to fix a squeaky door, the Machines try to assemble the pattern themselves, but cannot get it right. Wendy's attempts to finish her painting are frustrated by Scruffty, who picks up Wendy's mobile phone, thinking it is a bone, and buries it somewhere in a nearby field. Farmer Pickles saves the day by giving Scruffty a real bone, which he buries right next to Wendy's phone. Bob returns and helps the machines to assemble the slabs correctly, and they head back to the yard where Wendy proudly shows them her paining - a picture of Scruffty holding her phone in his mouth.
