Bananaman (TV series)

Bananaman is a British animated comedy series which ran from 3 October 1983 to 15 April 1986.

It was based on the comic strip character Bananaman and each of the show's roughly five-minute episodes featured the voices of The Goodies (Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie).

[2][3] Parts of the character were changed for the series: he was now called Eric Twinge (rather than Eric Wimp), had a distinctive banana-shaped hairstyle rather than punk stubble, and had a love interest (only when transformed) in the form of Fiona, a newsreader.

When Danger Mouse first aired on Nickelodeon in America, Bananaman was shown after it to round out the show to a half hour.

Taken from the DC Thomson comic entitled Nutty, it was made into a TV animated series of 40 five-minute episodes by Terry Ward of Flicks Films Ltd.[11]
