Talk:Bananas in Pyjamas

IMDB lists this as a Australian/Armenian joint production. Is that correct? Strange as the rest of the show if it is. Rmhermen 15:57, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)


 * I thought this was live action featuring characters in suits rather than animated. Confirm/deny? - Lee M 00:55, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is live action, except for the opening sequence, which is an animation.

bananas in pyamas!
this is a great AUSTRALIAN! show, all aussie infact, no over powering americans can take credit for this show! i used to watch it as a child, still do! its great fun to watch, and those lyrics, man i love em! the opening is animated but the rest is live action, it wasnt always like that, in my childhood it was all animated, or was it? cant really remmeber that well!
 * Uhm... ok. So what is your objection then? --Scotteh 13:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC) hehe

All Aussie? I don't think so, considering all Endemol's CGI work (which includes Bananas in Pyjamas) is done in Singapore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter raines (talk • contribs) 09:26, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

wow
i didn't know that it was still running.
 * T'aint anymore. It was canceled in 2000. What I'm more surprised is that it went for 8 years. I think I watched maybe 1 show of it when I was little, and got sick of it. Kevin 00:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I still see episodes on the ABC with copyright dates > 2000. ajdlinux | user page | talk | contrib 05:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Seconded. Just saw one on YouTube copyrighted 2001. - David Gerard (talk) 23:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Caption?
Is the photo caption 'bum1 and bum2' vandalism? I haven't seen the show but it seems a bit strange. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevebeck (talk • contribs) 03:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it is, I've reverted. Good catch.  Equazcion •✗/C • 04:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

thanks for lyrics
I have one in blue and white stripe pjs and could not understand the lyrics until i read them —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.191.186 (talk) 20:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Lulu's accent
Yes, but where's Lulu's accent supposed to be from? We need to know! - David Gerard (talk) 23:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Bananas in Pyjamas on Play School
I can remember Bananas in Pyjamas appearing on Play School (Australia) and I think it was long before they had their own show... can anyone verify? It wasn't as B1 or B2, but just as an anonymous Banana in Pyjamas doll. But the themesong already existed, and the presenters sang it as one of them held the doll. Andrewa (talk) 15:45, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

AHA! See

http://www.pluslicens.se/index.php/site/characters_details/bananas_in_pyjamas_characters/ ''The concept of the Bananas in Pyjamas series came from a song of the same name, composed by Carey Blyton (nephew of Enid Blyton). The catchy tune became a huge hit with Australian audiences on the program Play School, and an animated piece was produced to accompany it. T-shirts featuring Bananas in Pyjamas soon outsold other characters by at least 10 to 1. In July 1992, they got their own TV show...''

http://www.abc.net.au/children/bananas/about/ ''Bananas in Pyjamas is a delightful Australian pre-school TV series produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for 0-5 year olds with a theme song of the same name written by Carey Blyton in 1967 and published in the form of a book entitled 'A Book of Nonsense'. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation adopted the song for the children's pre-school program 'Play School'. The song and subsequent animation were so popular it was decided to create 'Bananas In Pyjamas' the television program.''

That's a start... Andrewa (talk) 15:55, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Episode List
Just an idea, do any editors feel it would be a good idea/would be intrested in compiling a list of episodes, maybe even with a breif plot outline? If intrested, leave a note here or on my talk page. I'll see if I get a good enough response and take it from there... Acather96 (talk) 17:25, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Earnings and Royalties Controversy
I was under the impression the multi-million dollar earnings from Bananas in Pyjamas merchandise was mostly earned by commercial enterprises. This after the show was instigated by ABC government funded start up- or was it? This is an aspect of debate between the promoters of free enterprise and defenders of government subsidies that needs facts and figures to clarify. No doubt USA folks will defend the commercial aspect of the question. Australia has a long history of losing profits from successful enterprise to other countries.

CGI Series voices
I think B2 is Dan Wyllie, Lulu is Iny Vas de Sousa. I'm not sure which characters Matthew Whittet, Roslyn Oades and Keith Buckley do. Some characters who don't have their current voices are Topsy the cheeky kangaroo, Charlie the inventive monkey and Bernard the wise old dog. Philiashasspots (talk) 08:38, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Curly brackets
In: "I think I am, B2! It's {Bananas' ideas} time!", what are the curly brackets for? 86.132.220.226 (talk) 12:55, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I assume they mean "either B1 or B2's ideas time", depending on which banana had the idea. Graham 87 14:38, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * they mean, for example, “it’s beach time!” Or “it’s fixing Teddies’ sink time!” Or whatever crazy plan the Bananas have come up with in that moment. As in - it’s time to go to the beach/fix the sink. The idea is they are thinking the same thing and say it at the same time.Locochoko (talk) 01:17, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Please do split this into original and animated
People keep making edits for the animated show on the info box for this one. Really frustrating that people are essentially trying to erase the history of the original series. 100% support splitting it. Cheers.Locochoko (talk) 02:05, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Where's this guy?
Mark Short apparently auditioned for The Greatest Dancer, and in that context told the public that he was B1 and his partner was B2: The Greatest Dancer reveals that the Bananas in Pyjamas are together in real life (digitalspy.com). Palnatoke (talk) 07:24, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
