James

As told by the original B.O.B.

I first heard about James through a crackly message from The Big Top Workshop. It was discovered beneath the floorboards of a travelling robot circus, shortly after a juggling machine mistook its head for a bowling ball. These days, this mischievously helpful machine is busy rehearsing the world’s first synchronised washing-machine dance. Its special talent is turning awkward silences into dance routines, although it would much rather spend the afternoon alphabetises biscuits before eating them. Its greatest dream is to visit every shed in the world; its only real worry is bubble wrap popping unexpectedly. Best friend: an unnamed houseplant with excellent advice. Favourite saying: “Beep once for yes, twice for snacks.”
