Bangers and Mash (often Bangers & Mash) is an English animated children's cartoon series originally broadcast on Children's ITV in 1989, and repeated until around 1993. The series consists of 25 five-minute episodes. A video game based on the show was published in 1992.
Bangers and Mash were two troublemaking chimpanzees, and through wanting to have fun, caused grief for others, namely making a mess or breaking something of importance, normally belonging to their parents (or Gran, who also lived with them). Like all the inhabitants of their island, they lived in a house built on top of a tree (their address being No. 3 Tree Street).
Other characters of significance on the show include Bangers' and Mash's parents, their grandmother, their dog Mick, their friend Petal (who would often physically hurt them if their antics annoyed her too much), their teacher Mrs. Chum (who often resorted to the same punishment; making them write their ABC's ten times) and the local witch, Mrs. Snitchnose; a rat-like creature with a long nose with hairs coming on the end of it.
The series revolves around the adventures of two chimpanzees, Bangers and Mash, and is based on a series of children books by Paul Groves and Edward McLachlan.[1] This series of reading books were used in schools in the 1980s. The series' narration and character voices were provided by Jonathan Kydd, and the incidental music and theme tune were written and performed by Chas & Dave.[2] The series was also exported to New Zealand and Australia where it aired on Channel 2 and ABC respectively.
