The Genie from Down Under

1996–1998 · 2 seasons

A light, silly culture-clash comedy where wishes cause chaos, easy to watch and full of broad humour.

Overview: When Penelope discovers an old trunk in the attic of her home, her curiosity leads her to check its contents. She finds a beautiful, but dusty, opal pendant and is delighted with her find - not realising how much it will affect her life.
How it feels: Whimsical, light, satirical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Class, family, identity, love
Content: No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
