Synopsis
Yamba's Playtime is an Australian children's preschool television program, produced and broadcast by Imparja Television from 1995 and since 2010 has also been broadcast by Nine Network Australia. Each 30 minute episode of Yamba's Playtime follows the life of Yamba the Yerrampe and is the first indigenous themed preschool program to have received a "P" Classification. Yamba the Honeyant is from Central Australia, and has a best friend named Jacinta. They have many friends, but don't seem to know about the odd sock characters who appear on the show also. These characters are Chabba and Flopp, who live in the sock drawers. Yamba is very curious and loves to learn, is active and energetic, friendly and outgoing. Other characters on the show include Grandpa and Grandma Honeyant, Cecilina the Ballerina and Miss Honeypot. Every episode of Yamba’s Playtime is educational yet entertaining and reflects distinctive qualities that can only be found in the red centre of Australia. It appeals to an indigenous and non-indigenous preschool audience as proven by the high rating of viewers who tuned into Series 1 in January 2012. "What I love about Yamba’s Playtime, is that while it is primarily aimed at a young indigenous audience, with it’s energy, music, and sense of story fun it actually appeals to a much broader demographic. It’s enlightening on so many levels," said Cameron Clarke, former screenwriter of Hi 5.
