Rock and roll!
~ Roley's famous catchphrase.

Roley is one of the main characters in the childrens' show Bob the Builder and is one of Bob's machines. He is voiced by Neil Morrissey (who also voices other characters in the show like Bob, Lofty, Farmer Pickles, Mr. Fothergill and Mr. Sabatini) in the UK, Lorelei King and Maria Darling in the US. In the 2015 reboot, he is voiced by Marcel McCalla in the UK and Ian James Corlett in the US.

Biography[]

Roley was the fifth machine to be owned by Bob, who joined the crew after Bird told him that he needed help flattening the concrete. He soon arrived and told them that he needed some rock and roll, although Bob thought that he meant by music, but Roley actually meant it as in flattening. After he finished the road, he joined the Can-Do Crew.

Personality[]

Roley is generally a calm and somewhat excitable machine who loves listening to music, he likes making up his own songs and he often likes to "rock and roll". Whenever he gets excited, he frequently spins his eyes. He is good friends with the rest of the machines in the Can-Do crew and is very fond with animals, he is best friends with Bird.

In the 2015 reboot, his personality is most notably different, as he is a lot more fussy about making sure everything is nice and flat.

Trivia[]

  • In 2003, Jolly Roger (Amusement Rides LTD) made him as a kiddie ride that says 3 different phrases, including: "Rock n Roll!", "Oh! That is really cool, Bob!", and Can we fix it? Yes we can!", and plays the Bob the Builder theme tune. Also, in 2004, Jolly Roger made him as another kiddie ride, but this time with a video screen (normally there's a windscreen on the front). There are 2 push buttons on his dashboard (video option, one push button if standard). One button says "Rock n Roll!", whilst the other button says "Oh! That is really cool, Bob!".
  • Roley's movement sound effect is simply his front roller moving over the ground. This effect is heard regardless of the surface he is on. This rolling sound wasn't used in the Ready, Steady, Build! series.
  • Roley is male, but is female in the Swedish dub.
  • Like Lofty, he is voiced by female voice actresses in the US dub.
  • Roley appears to like rapping as seen in Roley's Weather Rap.
  • He does not have the same design as his classic counterpart in the 2015 series.
