The Announcement

Episode 2.1 (9)
Debut: September 18, 2003

The foxy ladies of Fountain Gate—high maintenance Kath and her hornbag daughter, Kim—are back in the new eight-part series of Kath & Kim.

Kath Day-Knight (Jane Turner) should be the happiest woman in Fountain Lakes. A forty-something lady who likes to keep herself trim, she married her great hunk o'spunk, Kel (Glenn Robbins), a month ago. However, their eagerly anticipated connubials had gone tragically wrong—leaving Kath in plaster in hospital—and she is far from her flagrant self.

Meanwhile, her daughter, Kim (Gina Riley), is still shut out of the marital unit she shared with her estranged husband, Brett (Peter Rowsthorn), after her ice maiden act backfired. She blamed the failure of their marriage on not having had enough time to sow her rolled oats. Still, Kim does have her second best friend, accident prone Sharon Strzelecki (Magda Szubanski), to help her feel better—by comparison.

This series, newlyweds Kath and Kel are set to discover the truth about marriage—is it all it's cracked up to be? Will Brett decide he cannot live without Kim's foul temper and mood swings after all? Can Kim achieve her dream of being effluent? Is a relationship finally on the horizon for sports-mad Sharon?

In the first episode, Kim Craig nee Day's marriage is still up the proverbial, and newlywed Kath Day-Knight's libido has gone AWOL. They both look inside their chasms and think outside the box with some very positive results.

Guest starring: Marg Downey as Marion, Shivantha Wijesinha as Imran (the waiter)
