Long Days!!
















Filming the Episodes for Penelope K is both tiring and rewarding. Long days starting at 5:30am - theres a 5:30am now?? when did that start?? and finishing at 7:30pm.. I am knackered to use a Bristish expression, but it is a hoot and lots of fun.. The discipline required to do 27 takes of a 1 minute scene plus audio (my trumpet skills at the forefrunt@!).. My trumpet has to talk for me in the show... My favourite line - "Arent they the cheese sandwiches your Mum packed for you a month ago!" - now try saying THAT!! particularly with 30 crew an audio guy with a mic in your face and a director giving you two seconds and saying GO!!... That was good, - now with a bit more inflection on CHEESE!!

Aunty Beeb











CBeebies - the BBC childrens channel is lookin full on. Budget for Penelope K is $1.8m aussie dollars (or about 2 euros lol..) Filming 11 hour days is tiring, but fun and rewarding.. The rest of the cast and Director Peter Cudlipp are fun to work with.
The Terrorist Ninja Rubber Band is go, go go... Fact! Now thats a handy dandy rubber bandy type of clue!!
