Bedford (Theodore Tugboat)

Bedford is a small bell buoy that marks Willy's Island.

Bio
Bedford and Theodore are good friends, and love to tell jokes and stories to each other. Even though Bedford is not allowed to move about, he sometimes has fun adventures, like when his chain broke and he drifted out of the harbour. Even so, Bedford also suffers from depression from not being able to move and at one time wanted to leave the harbour. That is why every ship in the Big Harbour stops by every day to say hello and talk with Bedford. Whenever Bedford feels useless, the tugs are always there to remind him just how important he is.

Livery
Bedford is coloured red and white.

Quotes
- A conversation between Theodore and Bedford, Theodore's Backwards Day, third season
 * Bedford: (Dinging his bell at Theodore) Hello! Hellooo!
 * Theodore: Shh! I'm hiding!
 * Bedford: Oh that's sounds like fun! I'll hide too!
 * Narrator: But then he remembered buoys can't really hide. So he tried spinning instead.
 * Bedford: (spinning around) Wheeeeee! Oh this is fun Theodore!
