Long before the first episode of Bananas in Pyjamas aired in 1992, the seeds of the iconic series were sown in the '60s.
The television series, which follows B1 and B2, was inspired by the 1967 song from British composer Carey Blyton about bananas in pyjamas which was initially aired on Play School.

Creator Helena Harris later saw potential in the characters after hearing the tune while attending a Play School concert with her kids.
