Zerby Derby is a British-Canadian live-action television preschool series that was created by Phil McCordic. It aired on Sprout and Qubo in the US. Its French version (shown on Mini TFO) is called Zoubi Doubi; the same title is used in the Spanish dub.

Plot

The series follows the adventures of anthropomorphic motor vehicles Zack, Lily, Rex and Axle as they embark on daily adventures of crossing streams, building dams and exploring meadows, approaching every potential problem with cheerful enthusiasm. No obstacle is too large for the Zerbies, thanks to their mantra "try, try again!". The vehicles are remote-controlled and also employ moving eyes for added expression. A number of episodes aired from 2013 to 2015, though regular uploads occur on the show's new YouTube Channel.
