'The "Petals" are the little people at the bottom of the garden that you can't see but you can imagine. They aren't fairies and they don't have magical powers, but they are very athletic and two of the Petals can fly. The characters live in a world of huge flower pots and garden implements, and interact with each other and a variety of insects. The only other character seen is Jeffrey the cat. Every so often Jeffrey's huge paws or face appear and create chaos in the garden...'

A mixture of live-action, puppetry, animation, and documentary, Lift Off centred on a group of children who lived in the same neighbourhood and whose imaginations made their environment a world of fun and excitement. However, the program also explored issues such as pain, loneliness, jealousy, and anger. The program was aimed at three-year-old to eight-year-old viewers (as defined by Harvard University developmental psychologist Howard Gardner), and was linked to school curricula through the Curriculum Corporation of Australia.

The titular bananas in pyjamas, B1 and B2, are mischievous twins who cannot resist playing tricks on their teddy-bear friends Amy, Lulu, and Morgan. Just down the street is Rat in a Hat, whose shop is visited regularly by the Bananas and Teddies. The series, designed for the 0-5-year-old demographic, has a mixture of narration and dialogue, complemented by specially composed music and songs. Each delightful story features fun, adventures, and good humour aimed at the pre-schooler.
