Gophers! was a Channel 4 children's programme about a family of American gophers who move into a new neighbourhood, called Sycamore Heights, living next door to a family of uptight but well-intentioned rabbits, The Burrows.
There were many recurring jokes within this short lived show such as Arthur Burrows' vegetables planning a rebellion to escape his garden, a mad scientist ferret called Dr Wince, whose ambition was to conquer the world by obtaining a crystal buried in the Gophers' garden with the help of his reptilian servant Sly, and an alien in love with a zucchini determined to get home. Also there were Stereotypical "Mexican" cockroaches who lived in the Gophers' house or Trailer Park Mobile Home always trying to steal their food.
Trouble unfolds when Tezaab, a dangerous villain, escapes from his high-security prison. When Little Singham gets word of this, he sets out on a mission to find the evil mutants Tezaab has created and wreak havoc.
Stirred by Custard and Buzz putting together their family tree, orphaned Kea travels down to Queenstown, New Zealand, in a bid to find his family and why he was abandoned by them.
