Ali-A's Superchargers

Series 1

Episode 1: Road Trip

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland

Djim is a 14-year-old supercar fan from London with a family car that is overworked and has seen better days. His family's annual trip to Algeria has stacked up around 200,000 miles on the clock, and all this travelling means that the car is starting to fall apart. Djim is very worried that it is not going to get them through another holiday - he needs the help of Ali-A and his team of motor specialists.

At HQ, Ali-A talks with Djim through some ideas for his car's bold new look, but mum and dad are nervous - they don't know what kind of style Djim wants to go for. Djim joins Sideways Sid, a fellow car nerd, who helps Djim turn his worn and whiffy wagon into a smart supervan ready for the family road trips. They go to one of the UK's biggest car shows, where Djim falls in love with futuristic cars with lots of angles. But how can he incorporate that into his secret design?

Djim works with Rebecca, the Superchargers' mechanic, to fix the van's problems. But what will Djim's parents think of his striking design when Ali-A finally lets the car out onto the road? Show less
