For most of the hundreds of thousands of children living in one of the world's largest refugee camps in south-east Bangladesh, Noor and Aziz are the first characters who look and sound like them that they've seen on a screen.

Noor and Aziz are the latest Muppet characters from the Sesame Workshop, a non-profit educational institute tied to the five-decade-old Sesame Street children's television show.
