Ali-A's Superchargers

Series 1

Episode 4: Photo Finish

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

Oliver, a budding young photographer from Scarborough, has a family car that's older than him! It's covered in bumps and scratches from Oliver's parents' interesting driving decisions and the paint is flaking off from seagulls pooing on it. Thankfully, Ali-A and his team are ready to give the car a much-needed makeover, and Oliver is confident that he has an eye for what will look good. Ali-A meets Oliver and family at Superchargers HQ where Oliver points out everything that needs sorting with the car, and then the pair discuss some potential ideas for how to make the outside catch the attention of all passers-by. Car vlogger Sideways Sid sorts out a photography masterclass for Oliver with professional car photographer Chris Frosin - a dream come true for Oliver. As part of the masterclass, Oliver takes some amazing pictures of an American muscle car, and learns what an important role light plays in making a car look good. But Oliver's idea of what 'good' is may be very different to mum and dad's. Before any design work can be done, Oliver's car needs a thorough mechanical seeing-to. Mechanic Rebecca reveals that this is the worst car she's had on the Superchargers ramp - from the wobbly engine, to the falling down exhaust to the worn out brake pads, so she and Oliver fix them together. Once the car is safe to drive again, Sideways Sid returns to bring his design idea to life. But what will mum and dad think when Ali-A unveils their car's attention-grabbing new look? Show less
