Those irrepressible Genies, Bruce and Baz are back in a new series of that rollicking farce, The Genie from Down Under. The 13-part comedy drama series for children stars Sandy Winton as Bruce the Genie and Alexandra Milman as Penelope, the haughty upper-class English girl who controls the Genies, or thinks she does. Her every wish is the Genies' command. Returning for this second series of magic and mirth are Anna Galvin as Penelope's mother, Lady Diana Townes, Glenn Meldrum as Baz, Mark Mitchell as Otto von Meister, Monica Maughan as Mossop, Ian McFadyen as Bubbles and Fletcher Humphrys as Otto's nephew Conrad. Joining the cast is Bobbie Henry who plays Darlene, Otto's new assistant. Bruce longs for freedom for himself and his son, Baz. But to be free from the confines of the opal and the wishes of whoever has it Bruce must win the heart and hand of Lady Diana Townes, Penelope's mother. The course of true love never runs smooth, especially when a teenage girl is trying to thwart your every move, even if you are a Genie. It's madness when Bruce and Baz answer the wishes of the humans, whisking Penelope, Lady Diana, Bubbles and Mossop from England to outback Australia and back again. Otto von Meister, the tour guide to be avoided at all costs, believes the opal is rightfully his and isn't prepared to let Penelope have it without a fight. His forefather stole the opal from the Australian aborigines and then lost it in a card game to Penelope's great, great, great-grandfather. The battle for ownership sees Otto become King of England and Bubbles lead a band of merry-men, trying to restore law and order. imdb.com
