Boohbah is a British children's television programme. It was produced by Ragdoll Productions. It was made by Anne Wood. Alan Dapre and Robin Stevens wrote the scripts. Wood also made Teletubbies.[1]
The programme was made for preschool children between the ages of three and six years old.[2] It is mainly intended to be an exercise show. It is also meant to be silly,[3] and to get children thinking.[4][1] The show is similar to Teletubbies in that both have a science fiction theme.[5] The Boohbahs are five furry round creatures. They are meant to be atoms of energy.[1]
There are 104 episodes in total. Each episode runs for 25 minutes.[5] In the United Kingdom, the programme started on 14 April 1999 on ITV.[2] It was divided into two series of 52 episodes each. The second series began on 16 March 2006.[4]
In the United States, the programme started on 5 January 2004 on PBS.[6] All 104 episodes were shown as one series in the U.S.[1] The last episode was shown on 17 September 2006.[7] Boohbah is also shown in the Netherlands on Nick Jr. "Boohbah" means "doll" in Hebrew, but it is not known if the show was named for this.[5]
