Flower Power

Angela won't let Old Tom keep his new pet- a goat. However, instead of taking it back to where he got it from, Old Tom hides the goat in his room. Meanwhile, to make up for the pet, Angela buys Old Tom an insect-eating plant. To his dismay, the plant won't eat insects, but, when his back is turned, it eats the food off his plate and grows bigger. When the plant tries to eat Angela, Old Tom rescues her in the nick of time, and they flee the house. Meanwhile, Lavinia arrives, not knowing about the carnivorous plant. Angela and Old Tom return just as the plant is devouring Lavinia, and they manage to rescue her. At that moment, Old Tom's goat escapes from its hiding place and eats the plant.

"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.
