Bananaman
BANANAMAN
Made by: 101 Productions
Shown on: BBC
Years shown: 1983 onwards (probably still turning up on Nickelodeon)
Eric fancied the glamorous news-reader, Fiona, but she was only interested in his fruit-fuelled alter-ego, which is of course a steal from Superman; also, his enemies include General Blight, Dr Gloom and the alien Nerks, whose stupid names spoof the ludicrous villains from the 1960s Batman TV series. To make all this subversiveness credible, the voices were provided by comedy darlings The Goodies - Tim Brooke-Taylor (Eric), Graeme Garden (Bananaman) and Bill Oddie (the police commissioner.) Unfortunately, this didn’t stop the cartoon from being fairly lame, especially following the introduction of the hero’s friend and comrade, Appleman.
SQUARE EYES RATING: 4/10
