But the name wouldn't even work in the US? Bloody remakes!

I don't understand why the show doesn't have a bigger profile here but at least we can buy the DVDs now, a few years ago I was told the UK distributors catalogue had been deleted. I had to buy 3 & 4 from an ebay seller who burnt copies from his computer. (They were great quality though!)

By the way the price has jumped up from £8 to £20 on my original link, so anyone thinking of buying it, maybe hold on for it to drop again!

There are more Kath and Kim aficionado's here than I expected Smile

Can I ask what people thought of the Da Vinci Code? It's the one Kath and Kim thing I couldn't really get into. I loved the Michael Buble storyline, and Sharon flipping out at Kim finally - and also the way Kath delivered their paper guys Christmas present Grin but I found the Da Vinci plot really daft. And considering how much time Barry Humphries spent in the UK, his British accent is TERRIBLE!

Can't imagine American Kath and Kim, so much of the comedy was in those accents.

Did Kel have a big sausage on top of a van or have I dreamt that? I remember them zipping round in a little yellowy bronze car.

My fave is Kim trying to explain how it's her mum's fault she is carrying a bit of extra weight and Kath goes: 'Are you saying Kim, that my belittling of you bebigged you?'
Genius show.

K&K was such a brilliant show. I wonder why it's never repeated on Gold or any of those channels? would love to watch it again.

That has gone straight into my Amazon basket for my next order. Had almost forgotten about Kath and Kim. Haven't seen it for yonks but might get the DVD out tonight.

Yes Natasha Kim was played by Selma Blair - can you imagine her doing that g-string manoeuvre over her non-existent saddle bags?

Plus there was no Sharon because Magda Szubanski owned the rights to the character and refused to sell Sharon to the Americans. Good for her! I think the show only lasted one season, not surprising really.

Haha, yes "Look at moy, look at moy, look at moy".

I loved Kath Day; such a buzzing hive of industry, and never a curl out of place.
