Perspective
Each episode starts with Benjamin introducing each character known as the "Bopkins". They could be seen making their beds before heading over to a personal computer. One of the characters would then put a compact disc into the disc drive. They would then take it in turns to choose an icon. A short segment would then be shown. Each episode would start and end on a segment called "Floella's house".
