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 (Enid Blyton's nephew) 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. In July 1992, the first episode of Bananas in Pyjamas was broadcast in Australia on ABC TV. Ten years on, the Bananas in Pyjamas has become one of the most popular and enduring children's TV programs with preschoolers in Australia.

Bananas in Pyjamas is now captivating 70 countries around the world with approximately 100 million viewers, with the Bananas speaking anything from Japanese to Portuguese. They have 299 episodes plus four specials under their belt. They have travelled the world, visited the White House where they met the President of the United States and appeared on Oprah. They are regarded as one of Australia's greatest exports - up there with the likes of Greg Norman and Kylie, and have been the subject of an Archibald Prize entry. To top it off, the Bananas in Pyjamas were included in the closing ceremony parade at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. You don't get any bigger than that!
