Beat Bugs

Five friendly bugs learn big life lessons in their own backyard
The Beat Bugs are charming , funny , adventurous and have a knack for getting themselves into mischief and mayhem . Each of the five friends ( Jay , Kumi , Crick , Buzz and Walter ) has a distinctive personality , and they display the charm and energy of five knockabout , lovable kids . They are best friends who band together to explore and learn in their overgrown back garden , which to them is their entire universe .
What sets Beat Bugs apart is that each episode uses the narrative inherent in a Beatles song , recorded by some of the world ’ s leading artists - including P ! nk , Robbie Williams , Rod Stewart and Chris Cornell - and sung by our characters as a key dramatic feature of the story .
