Zerby Derby is an exciting TV show from Canada and Britain that features cool remote-controlled vehicles! It's a live-action series, which means it uses real vehicles and settings, not just cartoons. The show first aired in 2013 and was shown on channels like Sprout and Qubo in the US. If you speak French, you might know it as Zoubi Doubi!

What is Zerby Derby About?

This show is all about adventure! It follows a group of special motor vehicles named Zack, Lily, Rex, and Axle. These aren't just any vehicles; they act like people, which is called anthropomorphic. They go on fun daily adventures, like crossing streams, building dams, and exploring big meadows.

Facing Challenges with a Smile

No matter what problem they face, the Zerbies always stay cheerful and positive. They have a great motto: "try, try again!" This helps them overcome any obstacle, no matter how big it seems. The vehicles in the show are remote-controlled toys, and they even have moving eyes to show their feelings!
