Production notes

Hosted by Albert, a pink hamster/bird hybrid, and Zora, his ancient turtle neighbor, the series poses questions such as "Is fire our friend or foe?" and "How did we learn to speak?" These questions can only be answered by our friends taking a trip back to the past through a time-machine, Tempus-Fidget. Albert is young, smart and curious, while Zora is cautious and conversative; their conflicting personalities mean that they often argue. It is these arguments that drive the plot in each episode and make their adventures full of suspense and fun.
