The titular bananas in pyjamas, B1 and B2, are mischievous twins who cannot resist playing tricks on their teddy-bear friends Amy, Lulu, and Morgan. Just down the street is Rat in a Hat, whose shop is visited regularly by the Bananas and Teddies. The series, designed for the 0-5-year-old demographic, has a mixture of narration and dialogue, complemented by specially composed music and songs. Each delightful story features fun, adventures, and good humour aimed at the pre-schooler.
