Default Kath and Kim Hitting the UK

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/...326908022.html

Kath and Kim are taking Britain by storm - and raising a new generation of "horndogs" and "hornbags" in the process.

Australian viewers made the ABC's hit series Kath and Kim the most successful comedy in the country's television history a couple of years ago.

Now British viewers are being served a Fountain Lakes slice of Australian suburbia to go with their helpings from Sylvania Waters and Erinsbrough.

"Trust me, you will be using the term 'horndog' in everyday conversation," wrote The Sun's TV critic, somewhat confused about Kim's status as a hornbag.

The Sun was one of four national British newspapers to declare Kath and Kim their "Pick of the Day" for its premiere on cable channel LivingTV this week.

The Evening Standard described it as "a kind of Neighbours meets The Royle Family, with some fantastic pronunciation and expressions. Brilliant stuff."

The Times was equally enthusiastic: "The parody of the language is brilliant

Studying the polymerisation of new paint is vastly more entertaining.

Goo to see the British press's TV critics are keeping up. The series about to 'premiere' on Living TV has just finished on FTN. I thought it was hilarious but the missus just doesn't get it.

I saw some of the second series last year whilst in NZ, and I didn't really pay attention to it....however, I gave it another go, and it is highly amusing when you actually concentrate on all the dialect......It ran on FTN here in the UK and has just finished series 2, but Living has picked it up and is running it 2 episodes a week from the start of series 1 (last night).

As with any comedy, you either get it, or you don't ...so give it a go, you only have 30 minutes to lose......

Sharon (the chubby best friend girl) looks somewhat different to when she played the Farmers wife in Babe and Babe:Pig in the City though....dontcha think?

Rich.
