Go Jetters is a fun British 3D animated TV show that airs on CBeebies. It's all about geography and adventure!

This show was made by CBeebies and BBC Worldwide. It's designed for kids aged 4 to 6, but older kids can enjoy the adventures too. The series follows four brave heroes – Xuli, Kyan, Lars, and Foz – as they travel around the world. Their teacher and friend, Ubercorn, guides them. The show uses catchy songs and music to teach cool facts about different countries and places.

Go Jetters started as a popular feature on the CBeebies website before becoming a full TV series.

Meet the Go Jetters Team!

The Go Jetters are a team of heroes who travel the world to fix glitches caused by Grandmaster Glitch. Each Go Jetter has a special skill and a favorite saying.

The Go Jetters Heroes

  • Xuli (voiced by Pilar Orti) is the amazing pilot of the Vroomster and sometimes the Jet Pad. She's the only girl on the team (until Tala joins later!). Xuli wears a purple and yellow suit with cool wings. She's from Spain and often says "not cool!" She loves taking a "selfie" of the team at the end of each adventure.
  • Kyan (voiced by Akie Kotabe) is the sporty one, super good at gymnastics. His suit is deep blue and orange. Kyan is Chinese-American and has a Californian accent. He's known for saying "aced it!" in every episode. He's always on the move, unless he's sleeping, reading, or meditating!
  • Lars (voiced by Syrus Lowe) is the tallest Go Jetter and a whiz at fixing things. He wears a red and white suit with a cog-shaped logo. Lars is British and often says "Geographic!" He really loves the Eiffel Tower!
  • Foz (voiced by John Hasler) is the cleverest and smallest of the group. His suit is light blue and yellow, and his logo looks like an on/off symbol. He's also from Britain and likes to explain things like math problems (X plus Y equals Z). He often says "ergo," which means "therefore."
  • Tala (voiced by Tala Gouveia) is a new cadet who joins in the third series. Guess what? She's Grandmaster Glitch's niece!
  • Ubercorn (voiced by Tommie Earl Jenkins) is an awesome, funky unicorn! He's the leader and teacher of the Go Jetters Academy. Ubercorn wears a sparkly white suit with blue stars and purple goggles. He has red sparkly hooves and a purple mane. He helps the Go Jetters on their missions by giving advice and choosing special "click-ons" for their suits. These click-ons are upgrades that help them solve different problems. He also shares three "funky facts" about each place they visit, introduced by his own theme song!
  • Jet Pad (voiced by Naomi McDonald) is the Go Jetters' super high-tech jet and their main headquarters. It helps them travel all over the world. It often needs to refuel at Niagara Falls!

The Villains

  • Grandmaster Glitch (voiced by Marc Silk) is the main troublemaker. He used to be a cadet at the Go Jetter Academy but now he's a bit grumpy. Glitch loves mud and having fun, which usually means messing up famous landmarks to get what he wants. He has a big mustache, and his catchphrase when he's frustrated is "Grimbles!" He flies around in his rusty rocket ship, the Grim HQ, which leaves a trail of smoke. He even has a teddy bear named Cuddles!
  • Grimbots (voiced by Marc Silk) are Grandmaster Glitch's small, round robot helpers. They do everything at the Grim HQ and help Glitch with his mischievous plans.
