Meet Bangers and Mash: Mischievous Chimps
Bangers and Mash are two chimpanzees who love to cause trouble. They are always looking for fun, but their games often lead to big messes or broken things. Most of the time, their parents or even their grandma are the ones who have to deal with the chaos! Like everyone else on their island, Bangers and Mash live in a house built high up in a tree. Their address is No. 3 Tree Street.
Other Fun Characters in the Show
You'll also meet other interesting characters in the series. There are Bangers' and Mash's parents and their grandmother. Their dog, Mick, is also part of the family.
Their friend Petal sometimes gets annoyed by their silly tricks. If they bother her too much, she might even give them a little push! Their teacher, Mrs. Chum, has a favorite punishment: making them write their ABCs ten times. There's also Mrs. Snitchnose, the local witch. She looks a bit like a rat with a long nose and hairs on the end.
