Penguin Island is an Australian natural history television documentary series about the little penguin.

The series premiered on 30 June 2010 on BBC TV. In Australia the show airs on ABC TV. The executive producer and series producer is Sally Ingleton and the series director is Simon Target and the director of photography is David Parer. Penguin Island was produced by 360 Degree Films, ABC Documentary, Film Victoria, BBC Television and Arte France. The series comprises six half-hour episodes and was filmed over a year and a half from commencing spring 2007.

Penguin Island uses the latest underwater satellite tracking and Big Brother-style video surveillance to tell the story of several penguin families who live in a colony where relationships are fraught and survival is tenuous.

Over six 30-minute episodes, Penguin Island follows the penguins as a dedicated team of rangers and scientists monitor and protect them through the breeding season.

Filmed over a year by some of Australia's best documentary filmmakers, Penguin Island offers a rewarding insight into the lives of the stars of Phillip Island's internationally renowned Penguin Parade.

Penguin Island first screened in Australia on 30 September 2010.

gollark: I don't think so.

gollark: That's... kind of worrying.

gollark: <@459006513479155713> I've heard that there are UV LEDs, not sure if they exist for that wavelength.

gollark: I think the problem is that it's a channel and not an actual invite link.

gollark: Is it safe to do the API call outside `onMount`?
