Synopsis

It is the year 2110 and planet Earth has been taken over by the Roboidz. Time-travelling children from the year 2010 (yes, apparently we have time travel now - how cool is that?) journey to the future to try to defeat them.

Trivia

The show is filmed on a container ship on Loch Striven. The location fee was given to children's charities in Argyll and Bute. All the publicity may have backfired on the production a bit, as many of the press previews noted how impressive the container ship setting was. The trouble is, it may be filmed on a mothballed container ship but it's not meant to look like one!
