Penelope K, by the way is a British–Australian television program for pre-school children (aged 4 to 6). The program is produced by Blink Films and Freehand for CBeebies, the BBC's children's television channel.

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.[1]

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.[2]
