Synopsis

Old Tom has a nightmare about monsters, so Angela takes him and Lucy to an amusement park to cheer him up. Lucy wants to go on the Ghost Train, but Old Tom is too scared, and they play on the other amusements instead. When Old Tom accidentally breaks one of the games, he is chased by the park manager, and he has to hide in the Ghost Train. At first, Old Tom is frightened, but then he realizes that the ghosts and monsters are fake, and that he has nothing to fear after all. Meanwhile, a young couple taking the ride think that it is really boring until they see Old Tom and believe that he is one of the monsters. They congratulate the park manager, who thanks Old Tom and gives him a lifetime pass to the park.

Production notes

"Oh, don't you think that might possibly be a little bit too much Old Tom?" says Angela when she sees the terrible mess her beloved Old Tom has made. Based on the books by Leigh Hobbs, this series brings the most intolerable, disastrous and most amusing of animated cats to the screen. Orange, one-eyed Old Tom and his adoptive "mother," the delightful and rather eccentric Angela, make one of the most surprising couples in the history of love stories.

This TV series premiered in France on November 21, 2001. Air dates are as shown on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
