There Goes a... is a collection of children's videos, also known as Real Wheels. Three episodes, "There Goes a Garbage Truck," "There Goes the Mail," and "There Goes a Rescue Vehicle", were released as a part of the short-lived "Dream Big" series. Each episode focuses on different transportation vehicles; however, one episode is reserved for Santa Claus, and another for roller coasters. Each is live-action, starring Dave Hood, and is sometimes accompanied by a sidekick, Becky Borg.
The series of videos revolved around Dave in new jobs that center around the vehicles being featured but reminded kids that they were "just pretending for the day". While the most part of the videos focused on showing how the vehicles worked and what they can do, predictably Dave would get into trouble and say his catchphrase, "Oh, I shouldn't have done that!".
