Kath & Kim


Kath & Kim are "mother-daughter" characters developed in the late 80's by writer/actor/comedians Jane Turner and Gina Riley (who is also a singer and does the opening theme The Joker from the 1964 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd). Kath & Kim first appeared on the sketch program Fast Forward and from there went on to Big Girl's Blouse and Something Stupid (I'm working on obtaining those programs). Finally in 2002 Kath & Kim hit the little screen with their own sitcom and it became one of the all-time top Australian shows and was also broadcast in New Zealand, Ireland, the UK and Finland.
For those in the US please don't confuse this with the NBC program of the same name.
Normally I find so-called "bonus material" pretty lame, but if you enjoy this program the 3rd disc is loaded with interesting and funny material and well worth viewing.
