Boohbah is a television show aimed at children between three and six years old, intended to encourage them to exercise. It premiered in 2003 on ITV in the United Kingdom, and 2004 in the United States on PBS. It was created by Anne Wood, who also created the children's show Teletubbies, and is produced by the UK's Ragdoll Ltd. and the USA's PBS Kids. The similarity between this show and Teletubbies, both of which have a "science fiction" theme, is notable. One of the show's trademarks is a child's voice pronouncing the show's name in singsong (BOOH.....BAH).

"Boohbah" means "doll" in Hebrew, but it's not clear if this influenced the name of the show, or even if the creators are aware of this.

Characters and features

The Boohbahs

The Boohbahs are five furry, gumdrop-shaped creatures played by actors in full body costumes. Their thick, shimmery fur sparkles with tiny lights; their Kewpie doll style heads are hairless and feature big eyes with rows of lights for eyebrows. They do not speak, but instead make noises like squeaks, squeals, "poofs", and clicks. The Boohbahs can retract their heads into their furry necks. Each Boohbah is a different color. They are:

Humbah (Yellow); Zumbah (Purple); Zing Zing Zingbah (Orange); Jumbah (Blue); Jingbah (Fuschia);

The Boohbahs can fly; part of their routine is to assemble into a circle, holding hands like skydivers. Each then emits a different musical note as a flash of colored light (matching the Boohbah's color) is sent out from their heads to a central point.

The Storypeople

The Storypeople are a diverse group of familial characters who inhabit Storyland and there participate in various innocent vignettes inspired by the presents (see below). They exist as wholesome archetypes. They are:

Grandmamma — An elderly yet spry woman. She has white hair and wears a dark pink housedress, white sweater, white socks, and red sneakers.; Grandpappa — An elderly yet spry Caucasian man played by Robin Stevens who also wrote some of the series. He has white hair and a white moustache; he wears a long-sleeved yellow shirt, dark gray slacks, red suspenders, and white sneakers.; Mrs. Lady — A heavyset woman. She has dark hair and wears a loose light blue blouse, loose bright pink pants, and pink sneakers; Mr. Man — A husky African man. He is bald and wears a short-sleeved bright pink shirt, white trousers, and black trainers.; Brother & Sister — Always paired, they both appear to be in their late teens. Brother: A Latino boy with short dark hair; he wears a bright blue t-shirt, bright red knee-length shorts, and white trainers with pink laces. Sister: An Asian (Thai) girl with hip-length black hair in a long ponytail; she wears a bright red t-shirt, bright blue capri pants, and white trainers with pink laces.; Auntie — An Asian (Japanese) woman. She has short black hair and wears a long-sleeved lavender blouse, black trousers, lavender socks, and black shoes.; Little Dog Fido — A Jack Russell Terrier. He wears a red collar.;
