The choice of Liza Tarbuck and James Nesbitt as the voices of Farmer Fi and farmhand Matt may sound a little odd to a grown-up audience, but they approach their task with such gusto that smaller viewers will not help but get caught up in it all. The stories are simple and easy to follow and will bear the inevitable repeated viewing. Old hands may prefer the more traditional style of animation but it can't be denied that Tractor Tom has a bright, attractive look to it and younger children will find much to keep them amused even if they do not understand the plots. As seems to be standard these days, the programme comes with an accompanying range of merchandise; but it is an enjoyable, engaging series and should keep the small ones entertained. --Phil Udell

Amazon.co.uk Review
Yet another entry into the already crowded field of children's videos, Tractor Tom combines some classic themes with modern twists and production values. The tale of a tractor and his friends and adventures has its roots in the likes of Thomas the Tank Engine, but this show has a decidedly cutting-edge feel, especially with its computer-generated animation.

Our three year old loves it......... My wife and I hate it, yet we can live with Bob the Builder, Little Red Tractor et al....
Tractor Tom is always helpful and the one to solve the problems. It appears to be a twist on the Little Red Tractor stories in that the farm etc appears to have American farm buildings and large pickup truck and motorbike (who joins the team) yet the programmes have the voices of Lisa Tarbuck and James Nesbitt which is probably just adults being adults and looking for the errors!
It is all computer animated and lacks the feel of any depth of model that Bob the Builder or Little Red Tractor have.
We do not like putting our son in front of a DVD and getting on with our jobs but Tractor Tom is the exception.
