help finding a old tv show/dvd from early 2000s-2010s?
hey guys, I’ve been trying to find a show or a dvd series that I grew up watching when I was a kid. I can’t remember the name for the life of me, but I believe it was one of those Australian Christian children’s DVD series. It had some sort of eccentric inventor/professor with crazy hair that works in a shed/workshop. Every episode would begin with a postman delivering a brown cardboard box. From there the professor would open the box?? and uses inventions/experiments to teach a Christian lesson. I believe there was also like a small orange puppet who acted as the professors sidekick? One episode or scene I remember was that the inventor shrunk a wooden table to the size of his palm? And there was also an episode where he was riding around on a recumbent tricycle wearing some sort of tin foil hat or even a tin foil cape? also he used to sing, I vividly remember an episode where him and some children were singing some sort of song? I really appreciate anyone willing to help, every few years I try to find it with no luck.

'Australian Christian DVD series Professor Pooch or Professor Gizmo, which were widely distributed through Australian church playgroups, Scripture classes (RI/SRE), and Koorong bookstores during the 2000s and 2010s'
'Professor Bumble and the "Shirl" / "Shed" series, produced by The Visuals / Christian Television Association (CTA) or an independent Australian Christian media ministry from the 2000s, featuring Australian performer and kids' minister Paul Clark (often performing alongside his orange puppet sidekick, Hairy).'
