Jamboree was a British children's television programme that aired on CITV from 1998 until 2001.

About the show
Each episode starts with Benjamin introducing each character known as the "Bopkins". They could be seen making their beds before heading over to a personal computer. One of the characters would then put a compact disc into the disc drive. They would then take it in turns to choose an icon. A short segment would then be shown. Each episode would start and end on a segment called "Floella's house".
