How many zingzillas

The band is styled by chimpanzee bass guitarist and keyboard player Panzee, and monkey percussionist Drum always lays down a great beat. As well as these regular island-dwellers, the island is visited in every episode by a different musical guest. Ranging from a full concert orchestra to a lone saxophonist or a bottle-neck guitarist, this series embraces and celebrates musical genres from around the world.

The ZingZillas always discover their musical guests in a lush jungle glade which pulsates with music. They take inspiration from the guests and incorporate them and their sounds into The Big Zing.

In developing ZingZillas, the production team set out to create a standout music show like no other seen before. Executive producer Alison Stewart explains: "We wanted a show that would handle music in a really different way. Our starting point was an understanding that children love all kinds of music so we didn't restrict ourselves to any single musical genre. Instead, ZingZillas is a global music show and music is at the heart of every episode.

Each programme seamlessly weaves a strong narrative with catchy toe-tapping melodies, bringing our primate band together with some internationally acclaimed musicians. Each episode features a different musical guest with whom the ZingZillas collaborate for their show-stopping Big Zing. From Bhangra to blues, scat to salsa, this was a huge musical job tackled with relish.

We wanted to really push the boat out, to go for something bigger and more complex than you usually hear on children's TV. Plus we got to work with so many amazing musicians.
