Go Jetters is a British animated television series airing on CBeebies and is also available on BBC iPlayer. A geography-based programme, it was commissioned by CBeebies controller Kay Benbow and is a co-production of CBeebies In-house Production and BBC Worldwide.
Aimed at the upper end of kids ages 4 to 6, Go Jetters follows the adventures of four heroes, Xuli, Kyan, Lars, and Foz, as they travel the world with their mentor and friend, Ubercorn. The programme uses songs and music to expose facts about various countries and environments.
Characters
Go Jetters Each Go Jetter has a star logo on their basic suit, and a particular specialty and a catchphrase they'll often repeat over the course of the series' episodes.
Xuli (voiced by Pilar Orti), is the pilot of the Vroomster and occasionally Jet Pad. Until the addition of Tala (Season 3), she was the only female of the group. Xuli wears a purple and yellow suit, with stylised wings around its logo, and dark purple gloves and boots. She has a white fringe. She is from Spain, her catchphrase is 'not cool' and she takes a 'selfie' of the team at the end of each episode, with notable exceptions. Kyan (voiced by Akie Kotabe), is portrayed to be sporty and athletic, and talented at gymnastics and parkour. He wears an orange and deep blue suit along with dark blue gloves and dark orange boots with no particular sign of his speciality. He is Chinese-American, has a Californian accent and is known to say "aced it!" in every episode. He is shown to be very energetic. Lars (voiced by Syrus Lowe), who is the tallest of the Go Jetters, is really good at fixing things. In red and white, his logo has a cog-shaped surrounding, wearing dark red gloves and boots. He is British and is known to say "Geographic!" in most episodes. Lars is also shown being an Eiffel Tower lover in the first episode of the series. Foz (voiced by John Hasler), who is the clever one, and also the smallest. In light blue and yellow wearing light blue gloves and boots, his logo is shaped like a broken circle similar to an on/off symbol. He is also from Britain and is known to build his sentences like mathematical formulae (X plus Y equals Z) and say "ergo". Tala (voiced by Tala Gouveia), who is a new cadet of the Go Jetters that appears in the third series, and is the niece of Grandmaster Glitch. Ubercorn (voiced by Tommie Earl Jenkins), an anthropomorphic unicorn who is the leader and mentor of the Go Jet Academy, he is a funky disco-grooving unicorn. Ubercorn is dressed in a white sparkly suit with light blue stars and purple goggles, and has red sparkly hooves and a purple mane and tail. He guides the Go Jetters during their missions by giving them advice and selecting click-ons for them – suit upgrades enabling them to tackle different situations. He also presents them with three 'funky facts' about each place they visit, introduced by a theme song. Jet Pad (voiced by Naomi McDonald), is the high-tech computerized jet that helps the Go Jetters to go around the world and serves as their HQ. Jet Pad is electronically powered and in one episode is seen recharging at Niagara Falls using hydropower.
Villains Grandmaster Glitch (voiced by Marc Silk), a troublemaker who is a disgruntled former cadet of the Go Jet Academy. Glitch likes mud and having fun, which usually involves destroying or using a landmark to achieve his plans. He has a large moustache, used as his trademark, and funnel-like pieces on his helmet. He calls the Go Jetters insults like "no Jetters" and accuses them of screwing up his fun, and his catchphrase is "Grimbles!" which he says in frustration. He travels around in the Grim HQ, a rusty rocket ship that leaves a trail of smoke, and has a teddy bear called Cuddles. Grimbots (voiced by Marc Silk), Grandmaster Glitch's minions. They are spherical little robots who take care of everything at Grim HQ, Glitch's main jet and help Glitch in his mischievous activities. Sometimes in some missions, the Grimbots can help out with the Go Jetters too, if they need an extra hand.
