The Genie From Down Under was a 1996 Australian children's comedy television series produced by the ABC.

The series was followed in 1998 by a sequel, The Genie From Down Under 2.

Plot

Penelope Townes, a 13 year old British girl, comes into possession of an opal pendant when she explores the dusty attic of her family's decaying mansion.

The opal contains two Australian genies, Bruce and his son Baz — and, typically, an episode revolved around the consequences of one of Penelope's flippant wishes, or the efforts of an outside party to steal the opal (and thus, the genies).

Things are further complicated when Bruce (the genie) falls in love with Penelope's mother, Lady Diana Townes. Also in love with Lady Diana Townes are Lord 'Bubbles' Uppington-Smythe and Otto von Meister.
