Plot

[edit]

The friends Trazan Apansson and Banarne live in a tree house in the jungle with a trampoline. Trazan is a person based on Tarzan and Banarne is a monkey. Generally they have bananas as food. They often tell stories to each other and discuss figures such as the Phantom. They also sing songs by Povel Ramel, Lennart Hellsing and Hans Alfredson. Trazan plays banjo and Banarne plays guitar.

They are also visited a few times by the stunt man Johan Thorén.

They also go on trips to Toy Museum Stockholm.

Olyckan

[edit]

In 1980 the TV series was produced together with Swedish Road Administration ("Road Traffic Safety Administration"). Then the character Olyckan ("The Accident") (played by Ted Åström) appeared. He was a character who liked when Banarne made mistakes while driving, but Trazan told Banarne how to drive carefully without accidents.

Pulver & Nicko[1]

[edit]

Nicko (Klasse Möllberg) and Pulver (Lasse Åberg) were the title characters of the sketch series Pulver & Nicko in the TV series. The sketches take place in the countryside where two dirty and hoarse farmers ask each other riddles and when they hear the answers they fall backwards, laughing.
