	Kath & Kim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main characters are: Kath Day-Knight (Jane Turner), an 'empty nester' divorcée who wants to enjoy time with her "hunk o' spunk" Kel Knight (Glenn Robbins), a local "purveyor of fine meats", but whose lifestyle is often cramped by the presence of her self-indulgent twenty-something daughter Kim Day (Gina Riley).
		Kath and Kim does not always stick to the understated naturalistic style of The Royle Family, however it is generally presented in the form of a 'fly on the wall' documentary.
		The outrageous fashions worn by Kath and Kim, and Kath, Kim and Kel's constant pursuit of ridiculous fads and their preoccupation with appearing trendy and "with-it" recalls Absolutely Fabulous; both this popular British series, and the sketch comedy series that spawned it, French and Saunders, are also likely influences on Kath and Kim.

		The main characters are: Kath, an 'empty nester' divorcee who wants to enjoy time with her "hunk of spunk" Kel, a local butcher, but whose lifestyle is often cramped by the presence of her self-indulgent twenty-something daughter Kim.

		Kath and Kim added the characters of Kath's fiance Kel and Kim's husband Brett (Peter Rowsthorn), and expanded on the characters that had originated in the original skits.

	Kath and Kim go global - TvRadio - www.theage.com.au
		Kath & Kim's satirical eye on lower middleclass suburbia ("crack open the Tia Maria" and bring on the "commemorative sausages") has the capacity to provoke a familiar cringe from class-conscious Britain.
		Like Kath and Kim this audience was born to shop, spurred on by reality TV's instant makeovers, whether of the block, the backyard, the straight guy or the imperfect body.
		Kath and Kim, together with Kel and Sharon, perform a double act, lampooning Australia's insular suburban mentality while pushing the boundaries of the global sitcom.

		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.
		Kim is a stupendously lazy, constantly whining sourpuss who blames her problems on anyone but herself.
		Kim wants none of it and is determined to make Brett (and, in turn, Kim) suffer for his failings.

	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.
		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 and Kim” is brilliant comedy - The likes of which we haven’t seen in Australia for quite some time.

	Kath & Kim-Volume 1 (2002)
		Kath’s daughter Kim Day Craig (Riley) — ‘the laziest daughter in Fountain Lakes’ - thinks she’s Britney Spears and Nikky Webster rolled into one, and she’s too good for her husband Brett Craig (Rowsthorn), whose relationship with his pet Rottweiler makes Kim jealous.
		Adding to this the fact that Kim has lost her job means that she is becoming a layabout around the house, and Kath tries her best to motivate her to do something with her life.
		After Kim has given up smoking, she’s compensated with food, and has stacked on a bit of weight, so of course her dress doesn’t fit any more.

	Kath & Kim - www.smh.com.au
		They've been gone a while and although the now married and repaired (remember?) Kath Day Knight and her daughter, Kim Day Craig, easily trigger our hopes for another majestic assault on suburban lifestyles, it must be said that they make an uncomfortable, almost unamusing start.
		Her despair at her mother's behaviour knows no bounds, though Kim's selfish tenure on the adjoining bedroom with its flimsy walls has had a disastrous impact on Kath's sex life with her ever-so-loving "hunk o'spunk", Kel (Glenn Robbins).
		Kim soon returns to the marital unit where husband, Brett (Peter Rowsthorn), succumbs to her sudden eagerness to be falling pregnant, that is. When one pregnancy test after another lands in the bin, it is second-best friend Sharon (Magda Szubanski's own creation) who reads them correctly.

		Kath & Kim are a very unique mother and daughter, and with their odd relationship, we discover the trials and tribulations of their life.
		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.
		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.

	DVD Times - Kath & Kim : Series One
		When Kath & Kim, currently Australia’s favourite sitcom, reached BBC2 in the UK and therefore got its first stab at attracting a mainstream audience in this country (having previously screened on LivingTV), it was greeted by a veritable fanfare in the press.
		Most notably Kath & Kim’s first series runs to only eight episodes as opposed to the US standard of twenty-plus, and then there’s the fact that rather than the great teams of gag writers who contribute to America efforts, here we get just Gina Riley and Jane Turner as co-creators, co-writers and lead actors.
		Kath has recently met butcher Kel (Glenn Robbins) whilst Kim is currently estranged from husband Brett (Peter Rowsthorn) and back living with her mother.
