In the programme, McCoggins gives Tommy a jetpack that enables him to soar through the air, as part of his new abilities. Tallulah is handed a huge pair of hands that make her incredibly strong, for the upcoming adventure in the story.

Superhero Time is a programme presented in an episode format, falling squarely within the superhero genre. It follows the familiar structure of a short, self‑contained adventure that showcases the abilities of its youthful protagonists. In this particular instalment, the character McCoggins equips Tommy with a jet‑powered backpack, granting him the ability to take to the skies. At the same time, Tallulah is handed a pair of oversized hands, a device that endows her with remarkable strength. The jetpack supplied to Tommy functions as a personal propulsion system, allowing him to lift off the ground and manoeuvre through the air with ease. Conversely, Tallulah’s massive hands act as a source of raw power, enabling her to perform feats that would otherwise be beyond her capability. Both of these gifts are clearly intended to enhance the heroes’ capacities, giving Tommy the freedom to fly wherever the story demands and providing Tallulah with the muscular advantage she needs. Together, they illustrate the programme’s focus on inventive gadgets that transform ordinary characters into extraordinary ones.
