Each episode focuses on a machine called Bertha that can produce any item requested of her. In each episode the factory experiences a crisis affecting its daily production schedule, which Bertha invariably solves with the help of her factory worker friends. | |

| Bertha / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Ted's long chin, high moustache and sideburns make him look an awful lot like Bruce Forsyth. He even sounds like Brucie. | |

Bungling Inventor | |
| Bertha / int_334a404 | comment |
Bungling Inventor: Subverted with Mr. Sprott, as some of his inventions (such as the windmill moneyboxes in episode 2) actually function as they're supposed to. | |

| Bertha / int_e0aed924 | comment |
No Antagonist: The most antagonistic character is Mr. Duncan, and even then he's only doing his job as the foreman (although he can be a little bossy, humourless and over-demanding at times). | |

Violent Glaswegian: Downplayed with Mr Duncan, who isn't violent but is by far the grumpiest member of the Spottiswood crew. Averted completely with the mild-mannered Miss McClackerty. | |
