Yes, Bananas in pyjamas! Next in my nieces collection of DVD's, (she is so spoilt! all we had when we were young was a hand me down wooden noah's ark set with half the animals being either widowed, cyclops or having no eyes left at all).
Any way, This bananas in pyjamas dvd is aimed at 1 months to 6 year olds. It features all the favourite nurseryrhymes including incy wincy spider, little miss muffet and little bow peep. Theres also a good extra section on the dvd.

"Twinkle twinkle little star
This is the most tedious toy by far?"
Well, ok, I would never make a living out of writing nurseryrhymes, but this has got to be the most irritating piece of kit in my son's toy box. It's not a toy, as such, but a nurseryrhyme book designed for babies over six months old.
I had been looking for a suitable book for my six month old son for a while but nothing really caught my attention. He had been given a few very simple books as presents, which were great, but I was looking for something a little different. Then one Sunday morning, I was doing the weekly Tesco shop (as you do) and took my usual detour through the baby and toy department.
I spotted the Vtech NurseryRhymes Book and decided to show it to my son who seemed to love it straight away. So that was it. Decision made - we were ...
