ABC says Bananas in Pyjamas are ‘safe’
The ABC has issued a statement in response to recent speculation the iconic children’s program Bananas In Pyjamas has been scrapped, saying the show is “safe.”
An article published by the Sydney Morning Herald today reported that the Bananas in Pyjamas had been dumped by public broadcaster and quoted Tim Brooke-Hunt, ABC’s head of children’s content, as saying the program “does not generate enough revenue to justify a fourth season.”
The statement said:
ABC TV confirms that it will continue to broadcast Bananas in Pyjamas, one of the globe’s most popular and iconic children’s programs.
Will the Rat in the Hat leave the sinking ship?
Is it true Morgan that has been split from the other teddies by faceless men from NSW?
One thing we know for sure: B1 is always thinking what B2 is thinking because B1 is B2’s puppet.
Not sure where in the ABC’s statement they actually say the show is “safe”?
I blame the switch from live action to animated…and the bears must have catch them finally unawares..
Hi Paul,
If you follow the link to the ABC statement in the third paragraph, you’ll see it says “Bananas in Pyjamas safe on ABC TV.”
Thanks,
Cameron.
If it is true I sure hope that the Gillard Government has a bail out program. Lets face it B1 and B2 are so aPEELing!!!
