Penelope K, by the way is an Australian television series for pre-school children (aged four to six). It was produced by Blink Films and Freehand for CBeebies Australia.[1]
In each episode, Penelope K (played by Amanda Bishop) is asked a general knowledge question by a child, which she answers by researching the contents and talking to characters inhabiting her Information Station.[2]
Searching for answers she talks to her sock puppet called Squirm, a pair of fish named Hank and Frank and a shadow rabbit Tewey, while a band of musical instruments helps her find the answers through music.[3]
Production
The series was produced by much of the same team behind The Upside Down Show. Michael Bourchier was the executive producer of both shows and wanted to create a show starring Amanda Bishop, who played Mrs. Foil on The Upside Down Show and was chosen to play Penelope K. Bourchier said in a 2010 interview that he "knew she was a great physical comedian [from her work on Upside]. I conceived the idea for the show with her in mind."[4]
