Eugénie Sandler P.I. is a 13-part Australian children's series that first aired on ABC1 in 2000. The series stars Xaris Miller as the title character.
Eugénie Sandler is your average everyday teenager, worried about the usual things, like her place in the world, who she is, and what it is like to be fifteen. She also worries about her father Ray, who is a private investigator whose job causes frequent changes of address. When her father goes missing one day and she discovers a bomb in her sink, her whole world is turned upside down. With the help of her new friend Warwick, she discovers that her world is not as simple as it seems and that the freedom of a (fictional) country known as Versovia depends on her actions. Along the way, she makes many new friends, saves a lot of lives and discovers that love is not as scary as people think.
In late 1999 the Australian Broadcasting Company came up with the idea of a new children's detective show. In early 2000 after many scripts were written and casting had completed, they started filming. The first episode of the 13-part series aired on 30 October 2000.[2]
