So apparently this is a thing that aired on CBBC(according to someone on the old Lost Media Archive), & what you're seeing here is the only footage of the show anywhere which also has some random person in the left corner doing parts of what's in the episode itself. I can't find ANYTHING on this, & I can't even find proof of it airing on CBBC at all!!! Does anyone here know anything about this because I surely don't know!

Yeah, it was probably added by CBBC... if they were even the ones that AIRED the show that is(there's still no proof of that ever being the case).

There's a French Wikipedia page for the series with a bit more info (but nothing about an English version aside from the fact that the BBC is listed as having participated in its production). There's also an English Wikipedia page with alternate titles: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_(Spanish_TV_series)

Edit: And here's an episode list (in French)

Edit 2: Found the English-language intro from CBBC in decent-ish quality on Youtube; interestingly, it's labelled "Tom the Greatest Friend"

LAST EDIT lol: Here's a full episode in English! Tom in France

The woman in the video is doing sign language for the viewers who are deaf.

Really high quality, too.

Ahhh, so another one of those foreign dub scenarios I see. Jeez that's far more common than one might think.

Yeah, it's probably just that a foreign region aired it more than America/The UK/Canada.
I could attempt to splice the videos together to make a higher-quality English episode. (Also, I've ripped all the videos off YouTube, if anyone wants them. For some reason they're in different formats but I'm guessing that's because they were uploaded in different formats)

While looking for footage to mix, I found a high-quality version of the UK English intro! One thing to note is that unlike the one seen in the full English episode (Which is presumably probably an American or Canadian airing) this has the more simplistic logo as seen in the Portuguese intro.
By the way, the spliced episode is coming soon, just need to insert the new, higher-quality intro and do a few more stuff and it'll be done

Here it is! It's really rough for my first time doing this, and it starts to desync halfway through (Not sure why this happens... Probably has something to do with the Portuguese dub having a slightly different speed than the English versions) but it's watchable, I haven't actually sat through the entire thing, but it seems pretty good.
Let me know any suggestions to make it better

Huh, you did a great job! I would say about the speed issue is that you might have to check to see if it's slightly faster or slightly slower & whether or not it keeps being slightly at a different speed or it's just like that for a short amount of time(like, 5 seconds) then goes back to normal speed. That will be very tricky to do, but it's the best I can say really.
