Bangers and Mash (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bangers and Mash was a children's cartoon series broadcast on CITV in 1988, and repeated until around 1993. The series consisted of 24 five minute episodes. It centred around the adventures of two chimpanzees called Bangers and Mash. The theme tune was written and performed by Chas & Dave.

Other characters of significance on the show were Bangers' and Mash's parents, their grandmother, and the local witch, Mrs. Snitchnose; a rat-like creature with a long nose with hairs coming on the end of it. Bangers and Mash were troublemakers and through wanting to have fun, would cause grief for other people, namely making a mess or breaking something of importance, normally belonging to the parents, and on the rare occasion, Mrs. Snitchnose.

The characters also appeared in a small series of books that were used for educational purposes in schools in the 1980's. Whether the tv series came first, and then the books, or vice versa, isn't known.
