Who is Joanne?
'Y?' The TV show
"The science show for kids, where you ask the questions and we give you the answers!"
NEWS FLASH
Y? is no longer in production, so sorry, unfortunately there is no way of getting answers to new questions.
This was the address used in the series.
Y? Channel Nine
GPO Box 999
Brisbane 4001
The half hour science program was like a newer version of the Curiosity show, full of fascinating hands-on experiments that use everything from balloons to Van-de-Graaf Generators. You could find out how to make solar ovens out of cardboard boxes, and rockets out of plastic bottles.
In between experiments, roving reporters answered questions about things that were too big to bring into the studio, like hot-air balloons and ice-skating rinks!

The first series that Joanne hosted, ran every day from November 1999 to Febuary 2000. It screened on Channel Nine, Win Television or NBN at 4pm each weekday. :-) Joanne and Alana handed the job over to David and Tara for series 2 onwards.
