In Boohbah Magic the five magical atom Boohbahs present some of their best episodes. As always, the Boohbahs begin the shows by moving around the world in their Boohball before settling on a particular group of children. The group then gets to wish into existence a present to send into Storyworld for their chosen Storypeople to play with. Before and after each story, the atoms get down to some funky dancing. As a premise it may be a bit boggling to the adult eye, but kids genuinely love it. Colourful and musical, each show is a brightly engaging 20 minutes. The shows... in question are "Armchair", "Skipping Rope", "Record Player" and--a bonus episode on the DVD--"A Pile of Balls". It's pretty self-explanatory stuff. The other aspect that unifies each episode is the idea of encouraging imitation and interaction. Basic science and mathematics are encoded in the stories with the intention that the child will work out what will happen next. Even if it feels like a composite of several established successful shows, the important thing is that both the intent and the outcome are genuine. Kids love to watch and shout out "Boohbah!" --Paul Tonks [show more]
