Synopses

Pablo and Splash

Pablo and Splash are best friends with opposite personalities: one plans carefully, the other craves adventure. When Splash persuades Pablo to take a holiday, they end up in a time-travel machine instead of the beach. The journey takes them back to the age of the dinosaurs, making their icy home feel far less dull.

Pablo and Splash: Frozen in Time

A visit to Professor O'Brain’s lab goes wrong when her time machine leaves her behind in the Ice Age. Pablo and Splash set off on a rescue mission to 68,000 years ago. When a Neanderthal man wanders into the machine, more than one traveller ends up stuck in the wrong time period.

A scientific breakthrough from Pablo and Splash’s upbeat approach help them face the challenge.

Pablo and Splash: Roman Holiday

To convince their friend Benji that time travel is real, Pablo and Splash head to Ancient Rome to bring back a centurion helmet. Their plan changes when they meet an emperor who collects exotic birds. Quick thinking and emergency time travel are needed to avoid what awaits them in the Colosseum.

Pablo and Splash: The Castle Quest

Splash is convinced medieval England holds an unlimited supply of fishy snacks, and she pulls Pablo into another trip through the time machine. They soon encounter sheep, a pig and an angry farmer, but no treats. The search leads them towards a castle, where they hope their luck will change.
