History
The series revolved around the adventures of two chimpanzees, Bangers and Mash. The series' narration and character voices were provided by Jonathan Kydd, and the incidental music and theme tune were written and performed by Chas & Dave.
Bangers and Mash were troublemakers and through wanting to have fun, would cause grief for other people, namely making a mess or breaking something of importance, normally belonging to their parents (or Gran, who also lives with them). Like all the inhabitants of their island, they live in a house built on top of a tree (their address being No. 3 Tree Street).
Other characters of significance on the show include Bangers' and Mash's parents, their grandmother, their dog Mick, their friend Petal, their teacher Mrs. Chum (who often resorts to the same punishment; making them write their ABC's ten times!) and the local witch, Mrs. Snitchnose; a rat-like creature with a long nose with hairs coming on the end of it.
The characters first appeared in a small series of reading books that were used in schools in the 1980s.
Mash was voiced by English/Australian voice actor Benjamin Chenoweth. Bangers' voice actor credentials are still unknown.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
