Editing Bananas in Pyjamas (section)

===Inspiration===
The characters were inspired by a 1969 song written for children by British composer [[Carey Blyton]] (nephew of renowned children's author [[Enid Blyton]]). The jaunty song describes (an unspecified number of) bananas in pyjamas chasing teddy bears, with a slight twist at the end where a musical sting emphasises that the bananas like to "catch them unawares". The song was shown on the Australian version of ''[[Play School (Australian TV series)|Play School]]'' for many years accompanied by an animation depicting pairs of bananas in blue-and-white striped [[pyjamas]]. This led to a "banana" [[plush toy]] being created as part of the "toy cast", which formed the basis of the physical appearance of B1 and B2.
