Two decades have passed since the much-loved children's TV show Balamory first aired on Cebeebies but to Geordie star Kim Tserkezie it seems like it was just yesterday.
The 49-year-old from High Heaton shot to fame as Penny Pocket on the programme about a fictional island community off the west coast of Scotland. Known for her bright blue outfit and talent for maths, Penny Pocket, joined the show's lineup of iconic characters including Miss Hoolie, PC Plum, Edie McCredie and Archie the inventor.
The theme tune, "What's the story in Balamory, wouldn't you like to know?" became one most recognisable in children's TV when it aired between 2002 and 2005. Now, a new generation of youngsters will get to see the show as it returns to BBC iPlayer.
