Season 1:
Harry is an early riser while Toto is not very good in the mornings. Today, Harry cannot get Toto to wake up. So Harry decides to make something that will change Toto's life: a very special clock.
Toto is about to settle down to some quiet music when there's a loud sound.
The sun is blazing and Harry and Toto find it hard to keep cool. Harry wishes it were winter, but luckily they find Patrick the Penguin and his ice-cream van.
Horace the Horse has a big parcel for Toto and a small one for Harry. In fact, Harry's is so small, he can't even be bothered to open it.
Harry builds a go-kart, hoping to become the fastest hare on earth. Speeding through Opposite Town, he doesn't notice the red traffic lights and crashes into a tree. PC Barry the Bear suggests a driving school, where he and Toto help Harry to learn the difference between Stop and Go.
It is the Festival of Flight in Opposite Town, and when Toto is picked first for a hot-air balloon ride, Harry is very jealous. Too impatient to wait for his turn, Harry opts for an aeroplane ride instead. Only it is not just a ride - it is a parachute jump!
Harry's new remote-control plane makes him laugh with joy, but when he crashes it into his foot and breaks it, he cries. Toto takes him to see Doctor Crystal at Opposite Town's Hospital.
Toto and Harry are looking forward to their holiday. Harry can't wait to splash about in the sea, but Toto wants to stay dry.
Harry has looked everywhere for his red car. Perhaps if he were a little bit tidier like Toto, he would not have lost it in the first place. Then, on a trip to Opposite Stores for some boxes, they find an unusual teapot and take it to PC Barry the Bear.
Opposite Town's residents want to see the latest blockbuster movie starring Opposite Man, Harry's favourite superhero. To Harry's dismay, the only seats left for him and Toto are right at the back and they can't see a thing.
Toto is delighted to receive a lunch invitation from Harry, but Harry has forgotten to buy any food. At Gillie the Giraffe's Opposite Stores, Harry gets his trolley overflowing, but when they get back to the house the shopping bag is empty. Will Toto ever get his lunch?
It is Harry's birthday and he cannot wait to open his presents. But there is no sign of Horace the Horse, the postman. After struggling to cram a pile of parcels into his van, Horace is eventually on his way, but the back door hasn't shut properly...
Harry is sick of all his old things and decides to declutter his house. He also decides he wants new friends, and dumps Toto for Eric the elephant. Luckily, a trip to the library to enjoy some history books reminds Harry that new doesn't always mean better.
Harry has just learned to count and helps Toto with his difficult jigsaw puzzle. Harry is determined to help as many of Opposite Town's residents as he can. But when Gillie the Giraffe has a difficult sum to do, Harry gets all hot and bothered. A trip to Patrick's ice-cream van cools him down and Harry discovers that sometimes you can find the answer to a problem when you are not looking for it.
Harry and Toto decide to play a swapping game. While Harry tries to do everything slowly, Toto rushes around Opposite Town, helped by Carmen the Chicken's energy boosting pizza. Will the two friends understand each other better - or will it be a recipe for disaster?
Harry can't resist a peak at the building site, despite PC Barry the Bear's warnings. Harry soon finds out that rules are there for a reason - a lesson PC Barry makes sure he learns. While Toto goes under the ground for a trip on the train, Harry remains over the ground, on his own.
While Harry enjoys going out and about, Toto prefers to stay in, writing to his friends. The thought of a delicious picnic entices Toto out to the park but Harry's high spirits result in his front door key going into the postbox by mistake.
Animation with a hare and tortoise who help young children learn about opposites. Harry learns that fast isn't always best.
Harry has organised a surprise for Toto - an ice sculpture of the two friends. Imagine his disappointment when the statue mysteriously disappears.
It is a windy day in Opposite Town and there are lots of things blowing about.
It is Patrick the penguin's birthday and there is a surprise party in store. Eager to help, Harry offers to make a cake. But cake making needs patience, something Harry has in short supply. Will his efforts rise to the occasion? Or fall as flat as a pancake?
Toto is practising for a Show and Tell talk at the Town Hall, but shouts so loudly he loses his voice. Harry, on the other hand, can't seem to manage a whisper - even in the library!
The weather does funny things in Opposite Town and when Harry ignores the weather warning, he gets drenched. Toto however is always prepared and stays as dry as a bone.
Harry's going to the moon! If only he can get more shiny bits to make his spaceship go fast enough. He heads off to Toto's house where the friends have a close encounter of the bear kind!
A new theme park has opened in Opposite Town and the friends are really looking forward to it, but Harry is too sick to go and Toto stays home to look after him.
The residents of Opposite Town celebrate Giving Day and enjoy choosing gifts to give one another. Harry hopes to receive lots of presents but does not realise that giving can be just as much fun. Harry sees the light when Lino the lion tells him the Great Giving Story, but does he have enough time to get some presents?
