In the early 1980s the rights to Olimar the Wondercat were bought by LWT and his name was shortened to Oli the Wondercat. The programme was redesigned giving Oli a costume and enhanced special powers. In true ITV style Oli had a nemesis Evil Derek the Dark Dalmatian (more spot than dog) who plagued Oli. However, Evil Derek's role as villain was soon usurped by Cello the Mighty, a fierce Siamese cat embodying the truculence and pugnacity of his homeland - Canada. Cello and Oli battled many times with Cello countering Oli's strange magical powers with his ability to grow a lion-like and power-granting mane at will. Cello's struggles with Oli would dominate most of the Series 2 plot line.
