Tree Fu Tom is a British live-action/CGI television series shown on BBC channels in the UK and Universal Kids 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 which 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. Tree Fu Tom is also available on BBC iPlayer for over a year.
The series features a number of voice actors who have appeared in Doctor Who. Sophie Aldred (who voices the animated Tom) played Seventh Doctor companion Ace and David Tennant (who voices Twigs in Series 1 and 2) was the Tenth Doctor. The actor who plays Tom in the live-action opening and closing sections of the show, Adam Henderson, is Sophie Aldred's son.The character of Twigs was recast from Series 3 and played by Mark Bonnar, who has also been in Doctor Who, playing Jimmy and his "ganger" duplicate in the two-parter The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People.
