• What was the precise premise of the series?
• What were the main characters like? Are there any missing from the cast list?
• Who are the two characters in the image on the page?
• Were there any running motifs?
• This is one of the handful of series, along with Big Bag, which has no episode guide whatsoever. So if anyone has a basic list or would like to create a detailed guide, feel free. Andrew Leal (talk) 03:39, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thought I'd give you the lowdown on the show.

Shot at Millenium studios, Construction Site was a fully remote controlled, animatronic pre-school show about the trials and tribulations of a group of construction machines. Set in a world where there were only machines, this show carried on the Henson tradition of issues and problems seen through the eyes of a different group of characters.

The Characters:

There were a trio of younger characters.

• Diggs - A young and enthuiastic backhoe digger. Performed and voiced Brian Herring.
• Carrie- The young bossy female forklift. Performed by Steve Kynman (season 1 and 2), Wim Booth (Season 3) and Sue Beatty (season 4). Voiced by Charlotte Bellamy.
• Scooch The baby tipper truch. Performed and voiced by Mak Wilson

They had grown up advice from:

• BOZER The big red Bulldozer. The Boss. Performed and voiced by Mark Jefferis
• CARL A German Crane Performed and voiced by Mark Jefferis
• Maxine The West Indian cement mixer, Performed by Steve Kynman (season 1 and 2), Wim Booth (Season 3) and Sue Beatty (season 4). Voiced by Angie Greaves
• LUG The Giant Dump Truck Performed and voiced by Mak Wilson

The show ran for four season and each episode was around 10 minutes.

Directed by Simon Spencer, Mak Wilson, Dirk Cambell and John Stephenson ).

Written by Jocelyn Stevenson(who also produced), Laura Beaumont, Mark Seal (and others).

There were also a small army of guys from the Jim Henson Creature Shop driving and maintaining these VERY sophisticated machines. --Hubba Hubba (talk) 10:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
