The pilot episode of Bob the Builder is a 2 minute and 10 second animated clip which was made to pitch the concept of the series to HiT Entertainment, and was maybe shown also to the BBC. The pilot had early versions of characters (mainy Bob and Scoop), and was really short in length, clocking in at 110 seconds. The video was never seen until it was found on a tape by Essential Pictures, (a unknown company) and was uploaded online.
