What is Piripenguins?

Piripenguins is a brand new CBeebies series about a cheerful, funny colony of penguins enjoying life to the fullest on a remote iceberg. The show centres on five lively penguins, each with distinctive personalities. Life on the iceberg throws up lots of challenges and funny situations for the penguins, who learn about life, friendships and themselves along the way.

Brinicle

A cartoon penguin wearing a red bow tie leaning against a column, looking at ease and confident. In the background, a red plush theatre inside an iceberg.

  • Loves being creative through acting, dancing, and painting... but he's not particularly good at any of them!

  • Enjoys dres and creating visual feasts - otherwise known as a mess.

  • A bit self-centred but his heart is bigger than an iceberg.

Flutter

A cartoon penguin wearing a rainbow propeller hat takes his own picture with a camera, his bedroom is behind him with a wall of propeller hats and a lava lamp.

  • Acts before thinking... if he thinks at all!

  • Laid-back, chaotic and carefree, loves having a good time and causing trouble.

  • Comfortable with Brinicle's mess and adds to it with his excellent collection of propellor hats.

Looph

A cartoon penguin wearing a green pair of glasses scratches her head with her flipper, tilting to the side. Behind her, a high-tech laboratory waits for experiments.

  • A humble genius and tinkerer who lives alone in her laboratory.

  • Invents clever contraptions to save the colony from mishaps.

  • Shy and loves solitude but is always willing to help her friends.

Nugget

A cartoon penguin with a ponytail tuft in on top of her hair in a pink hair tie leaps in the air excitedly. Behind her, you see her room filled with sporting equipment such as a hockey stick and surfboard, illuminated by pale blue through the ice..

  • A thrill-seeker who loves wild challenges and jumping in at the deep end.

  • Keeps her side of the cave filled with sporting equipment and mess.

  • Contrasts sharply with Pancake's clean and orderly surroundings.

Pancake

A cartoon penguin with a blue tuft of hair on his head, holding a potted algae plant. He looks calm and content, behind him is his room with a telescope and a collection of plants meticulously well cared for.

  • Enjoys the quiet life, maintaining his cherished algae plants.

  • Prefers to observe from the sidelines but often enjoys himself when encouraged by friends.

  • Shares a cave with Nugget, his polar opposite.

Millie

A cartoon yellow squid holds a juice carton, looking grump. One tentacle gestures to the left. Behind her, a cave with treasure chests, an ice hole and a chaise lounge.

  • Loves to grumble, though she wouldn't it it.

  • The grouch of the iceberg, always scheming mischievous plots.

  • Despite her grumpiness, she values life on the iceberg with the "pesky penguins".

Shirley

A cartoon penguin in an apron, holding a serving platter and carrying a burger. She seems confident and sassy, hand on the hip. Behind her, the Krispy Krill, the penguins' fast food restaurant is populated with picnic benches and red awning by a light blue iceberg.

  • The no-nonsense waitress at The Krispy Krill, full of attitude.

  • A pillar of the Piri community, an ace chef, and a great friend to the penguins.
