What happens

Tree Fu Tom is a British live-action/CGI television series shown on BBC channels in the UK and Sprout and NBC in the USA. It is set in a miniature magical countryside and village area (Treetopolis) on the top a big tree in a British-type woodland. Many of its characters are anthropomorphised arthropods, and it features species of insect that are raised and controlled like cattle on a ranch: aphids, ladybirds, and a rhinoceros beetle. The programme is aimed at two- to six-year-olds. 72 episodes were produced across five series, premiering in 2012 and ending in 2016. The character of Twigs was recast from series 3 with David Tennant being replaced by Mark Bonnar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
