		Gina Riley has stepped out of the bumsters; wiggled free of the diamante G-string; and chucked away the clacky mules that help to make her latest television creation, the suburban princess Kim Day, such a hornbag.
		Riley's relishing her hard-won return to the top of the funny business with her co-star and co-writer Jane Turner and their long-time friends and collaborators Magda Szubanski and Glenn Robbins but, she says, taking it one show at a time.
		Riley's the youngest of three children; her father a psychiatrist; her mother a housewife interested in alternative education.

		Riley is Kim, who regards Sharon as her second-best friend.
		There's a lot of consultation about timing, movement and delivery, and, as Riley notes, a director who wasn't comfortable with his cast (who are, after all, also the writers and executive producers) "putting in our two bobs' worth" might find the process frustrating.
		Just days before they were due to start production in March, after Riley had relocated to Melbourne with her husband and daughter, the ABC pulled the plug on the project.

		In a letter obtained by the Herald, Riley and her co-star Jane Turner, of Fast Forward fame, claim the ABC informed them on the 28 March, just seven days before production was due to start, that the project would not proceed according to schedule.
		A director and producer had already been engaged, and Riley had moved to Melbourne to a house the ABC had rented for her.
		"Gina and Jane have placed certain matters in the hands of their solicitors and have written to the ABC so it is not appropriate to comment."

	DVD.net : Kath & Kim - The Series Eps 1-8 - DVD Review
		Kath and Kim is the creation of Jane Turner and Gina Riley and was first seen during their short-lived, but very funny, television show Big Girl's Blouse.
		Gina Riley and Jane Turner, with the help of the other cast members, have created a rare thing; a successful and funny Australian comedy series.
		It remains to be seen of course just how long it can remain funny, and I am sure most of us are hoping that the girls do not run the joke into the ground and have the good sense to know when enough is enough.

	Bulletin - Jane Turner and Gina Riley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Admittedly their cover is a highly effective one – a weekly Thursday night pretence on the ABC that as the mother and daughter team Kath and Kim, they’re just a couple of harmless aspirational suburbanites.
		The formulaic advice was, according to Riley, “a whole spiel about the importance of ‘character arcs’ and ‘emotional jeopardy’ – a very drama construct as far as we were concerned.
		Equally, Riley is regularly set upon by teenage girls in the aisles of supermarkets.

	"Kath & Kim" (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Trivia: Character's spawned from a regular sketch from Turner, Riley and Szubanski's short lived comedy sketch show from the 90's, "Big Girl's Blouse" (1994).
		But what makes it addictive viewing is simply the stone-dead spot on performances from each of the cast and reality of the situations potraying modern life for your average aussie suburban just-middle class types.
		Gina's "Kimmoi" is frighteningly accurate portrayal of the self-absorbed, helpess, hot-tempered but needy 'dawta'.

		So Riley and Turner decided to write a telemovie instead, a significant change of gear for the characters, and a serious challenge for them.
		For Riley and Turner it represents an opportunity to shake the tree a little, a change from playing the same riff, as hysterically funny as that same riff might be.
		In fact, Riley and Turner concede, feedback from foreign audiences suggests that might be a fallacy.

		Kath's idyllic existence as a relatively well-to-do 'single-nester', with a passionate 'hunk o'spunk' to take care of her physical needs, is rudely shattered by the return home of her daughter Kim, whose marriage to the laconic Brett has collapsed.
		Jane Turner and Gina Riley invented the characters for a hen-party skit on their show Big Girl's Blouse (which also featured Australian comedy star Magda Szubanski, who played Sharon here).
		Australian TV executives were wary of such a project and its unabashed depiction of such swaggering women but Riley and Turner persevered and eventually won the day, delivering a classy, confident spoof of suburban sybarites.

		But four years ago, Jane Turner and Gina Riley created Kath And Kim, a story of a lower-middle-class mother and daughter trapped in suburban hell, which garnered a handful of awards and quickly became the top-rated comedy on Australian TV.
		Indeed, the character of Kath (Turner's demanding, snobbish fortysomething divorcee) and Kim (Gina's precious misery-guts of a daughter) originated on a mid-Nineties sketch show, ABC's Big Girl's Blouse.
		A third series is now in the pipeline, with Riley and Turner heading back to finish work on the final script just as soon as this publicity tour is over.

	Moviehole.net - Kath and Kim - Series 2 (DVD)
		Someone recently said to me that the reason ABC’s “Kath and Kim” is so successful is that deep-down Aussies know that we’re all a bit Kath, Kim, Kel, Sharon and Brett.
		After all, why would such a show even exist if creators Jane Turner and Gina Riley had never met such people — or better still, be a small portion of their TV counterparts themselves?
		For the one percent of the Australian population that’s never seen the series, “Kath and Kim” — two characters that were originally unleashed on the short-lived sketch comedy series ‘Big Girl’s Blouse’ — centres on a rather nonconformist suburban mum [Turner] and her frumpy, heavy, and constantly irksome daughter, Kim.

		Kath has recently met butcher Kel (Glenn Robbins) whilst Kim is currently estranged from husband Brett (Peter Rowsthorn) and back living with her mother.
		Riley and Turner clearly have an ear for dialogue and get plenty of mileage out of their characters’ inherent trashiness (“piss elegant” being a defining characteristic) and provide the series with an abundance of eminently quotable catchphrases — the majority of which emblazon the packaging.
		If there is a weakness, however, then it results from Turner and Riley clearly struggling with the set piece.

		Kath (Turner) is a forty-something single lady, who is proud of her home, her figure and her spoilt twenty-something daughter Kim (Riley) who has recently left her husband.
		Jane Turner and Gina Riley are just the best in the title roles and the supporting cast of Robbins (hilarious as a connoisseur of meats always trying to create a new sausage), Szubanski and Rowsthorn bounce extremely well off each other and make the series seem more real than created.
		I can remember when Kath & Kim started as a sketch started on one of the comedy shows (either Fast Forward or Full Frontal) and whilst amusing then who'd have thought that there was enough material to create not only a series but a really clever one at that.
