Bananas in Pyjamas is an Australian children's television show which premiered in 1992 on the ABC. It has since become syndicated in many different countries, and dubbed into those languages. In the United States, the "Pyjamas" in the title was modified to reflect the American spelling pajamas, thus the US title "Bananas In Pajamas".
The main characters are two bananas named B1 and B2. Other characters include three Teddy Bears named Amy, Lulu and Morgan, and Rat in a Hat. The Bananas, the Teddies and Rat in a Hat all live in the same neighbourhood, a cul-de-sac called "Cuddles Avenue" at the end of a street.
The characters were inspired by a 1967 song written for children by British composer Carey Blyton (nephew of renowned children's author Enid Blyton). The jaunty song describes (an unspecified number of) bananas in pyjamas chasing teddy bears, with a slight twist at the end where a musical sting emphasises that the bananas like to "catch them unawares".
The song was shown on the Australian version of Play School for many years accompanied by an animation depicting a pair of bananas in blue-and-white striped pyjamas, and the number and physical appearance of B1 and B2 are based on this animation.
Given the preschooler audience, chasing and scaring teddy bears is not a plotline for the show itself, the bananas being more interested in singing, dancing, and playing with the bears and other characters, and bantering with each other.
The show is performed using human actors in elaborate costumes, in the style of the British Teletubbies or Tweenies. In the show's early days, the voices of the bananas were provided by the same actors as were inside the costume, but the original actors have given up that aspect of the show and substitutes now man the hot, stuffy costumes. The show aired new episodes from its 1992 debut to its eventual run in syndication in 2000. The show aired 299 episodes and 4 specials. Its debut in the United States was in 1995. It made videos and other media from 1995 to 1999. A toy line, developed by TOMY, debuted in 1996.

Yes, I think it was an Australian show. I even have a video of some episodes and a plush "B-2" toy.
