Meet the Penguins

Mother and Father Penguin have three children, a boy called Beesie, a girl called Boffles and a baby called Bobo. They all live in an igloo with Aunt Penelope.

Every programme ended with Aunt Penelope, in her rocking chair, singing a song to the children which went:

"Don't you forget to wash behind your ears,
Don't you forget to wash behind your ears,
for if you forget to wash behind your ears,
you won't go to snowland along 'a me"
