Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
Multimedia, the software publishing arm of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide, is publishing
'Bob The Builder - Bob's Castle Adventure' on PC CD-ROM.
Due
for August 2003 launch in the UK, 'Bob's Castle Adventure' combines
the appeal of the television series with fun and learning in an
interactive format. The software's ten activities are being developed
in line with the National Curriculum Foundation Stage.

We Fix It?". These titles are now available in 11 countries
around the world, having shipped over a million units worldwide.

HIT
Entertainment's loveable character, Bob the Builder has become an
international phenomena, now shown in over 140 countries worldwide.
Aired on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE since April 1999, the pre-school show has an audience
of 1.1 million, and was also the highest rated children's TV show
in the USA in 2001.
The
series is set in Bob's yard and features a gang of all-talking,
all-action building machines: Scoop the Digger, Muck the bulldozer,
Dizzy the cement mixer, Lofty the crane and Roley the steamroller.
The owner of the yard, Bob the Builder, runs his own construction
business with his assistant Wendy...and of course Pilchard the cat
is never far away!
"Bob's
Castle Adventure" is based on the latest Bob the Builder video
release, 'The Knights of Sir Can-a-Lot', released in the UK on March
2003, which sold over 50,000 units in the first month.

tasks and challenges set around a medieval castle.
