Bobinogs

Bobinogs (original Welsh title: Bobinogi) is a children's television programme shown most recently on the BBC channel CBeebies daily at 7:30am in the UK. It debuted for a Welsh audience, but in 2003 started being broadcast in the English market. It originally featured three characters who lived in a child's hat: inanimate when he was present, but active when he was out. This aspect of the series appears to have been dropped; the characters are now active (in cartoon form) from the beginning of the programme.

The three main characters play in a band. A typical episode involves them trying to solve some sort of problem, then performing a song about it at the end. At one point in the episode they will obtain a clue to the problem's solution by looking through their "bobinoculars", which show video footage from the real world.

Characters

Ogi: drums and scratcher

Bobin: keyboards

Nib: vocals

Trivia

Ogi bears a striking physical resemblance to Eric Cartman of South Park, although this is presumably coincidental.

This was one of the first broadcast-standard cartoon series to have been produced exclusively using Macromedia Flash.

The Bobinogs have a pet dog called Nog-Dog.
