Aussies rejoice! Jane Turner and Gina Riley haven’t completely abandoned ship since the American series of Kath & Kim premiered on NBC last week.

According to various sources, Rick McKenna, executive producer of both the original and the American version, said the Aussie creators were back in pre-production mode.

“They’re keen to do another Kath & Kim project,” he said. ”At the moment they’ve got 4 1/2 episodes in their heads.”

Even after six years, 32 episodes and a telemovie, the comedy duo still love to play mother and daughter and hope to have the new series on Seven in the not too distant future.

Bring home some of that American dosh and put it into another series of the Aussie comedy! Show those yanks how it’s done, ladies!
