Tommy Zoom

Tommy Zoom is a British children's animated superhero television series that was shown regularly on CBeebies in the UK. It was first aired on 19 March 2007.

Synopsis

The series focuses on a boy named Tommy, who lives with his parents, his baby brother Sam, and his pet dog Daniel at a house by the name of 17 Verdant Avenue. Each episode begins and ends with a live action sequence, narrated by Daniel, in which Tommy is faced with a dilemma of various kinds. Daniel will pose the question, "What should Tommy do? What would Tommy Zoom do?" The show then switches to animation to show Tommy's animated superhero alter-ego Tommy Zoom foiling a plot by Polluto, which has some link to whatever problem the real Tommy currently faces. After saving the world "in a zoom", the live-action element is reintroduced, and Tommy is seen to make the right choices and solve whatever problem he has.
