An Australian actor has revealed the Russian mafia stole the ABC’s iconic Bananas in Pyjamas costumes and held them for ransom.
Kenneth Radley, who played B1 for more than 10 years, mentioned the story briefly during an appearance on The Final Encore Podcast, and then gave more detail in an interview with news.com.au (which you can watch in the video player above).
Mr Radley said the theft happened when an ABC marketing boss took the costumes on a promotional trip overseas. more

Bananas have no lips
For some reason they rejected my idea for a show titled “Bananas in a Hammock”.
Sounds like a bad episode of Crime Story where they had clowns jumping out of a UFO…
“So the bananas are actually in some gulag in Russia …”
That’s harsh. 😂
