B20 Bash

B-20 Bash is a British children's live-action educational musical series created by Jocelyn Stevenson (chief creative officer for Hit Entertainment) and Lucy Goodman (who created the CiTV series Bookaboo). It revolves around 13 infants who sing, dance, play, and learn in their kindergarten (number B-20) in England. They are cared for by two adult teachers and two rabbits. Unlike the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba, the B-20 Bash children are real people.

Overview and History
The history of the programme traces back from Lucy Goodman (of Bookaboo) and Jocelyn Stevenson (of The Jim Henson Company and HiT Entertainment). Together with Michael Underwood and Josie D'Arby, they set up Children's Playtime Productions at a Primary School in London, England. Lucy Goodman met Stevenson, a director, writer and also a cheif creative officer, during the latter. Together they started producing two of the Playdays strands before forming their own production company Children's Playtime.

B-20 Bash is a production of Children's Playtime Productions in association with the BBC. Animation for the show was produced by A Productions, an animation studio based in Bristol, England, with Ealing Animation providing some animation in a few early episodes. Computer animation for the series was provided by Clockwork Digital, with Ben Mars animating Scholarly Superman, the computer super-hero who appears in some later episodes.

The characters are well developed and children are able to predict what their responses might be. The mixture of story, song and creative activity provides excellent opportunities for children to learn through play[according to whom?]. Music plays an important part in the programme and children are encouraged to join in with songs and actions.

The programme is set in a kindergarten room at a primary school in London, England attended by the thirteen B-20 pupils themselves: Lamese, Andrew, Eduardo, Julia, Kaylee, Valerie, Ivan, Rumany, Monica, Nichol, Alex, Bryan, and the youngest, Jordyn. They are in the care of two adults, Elizabeth and Eric, and two rabbits, Ann and Tia.

The show includes "Biz's Beat of the Day", beatbox lessons from Biz Markie, "Mark's Magic Pictures", with Mark Mouthersbaugh, guest spots, and animated segments

The show has a tour across the English Isles, like most other BBC programmes aimed at children.
