Cult Australian comedy series Kath and Kim is to make its UK terrestrial debut on BBC Two.
The popular sitcom - already seen on LivingTV and FTN - forms part of the channel's new Autumn lineup and will take a place in the early evening schedule from September.
"It is a big, broad comedy and it is different," BBC's head of comedy entertainment Jon Plowman told the Australian Associated Press.
"Comedy continually has to find new jokes, find new characters and funny settings, find new things to say and I think Kath and Kim will do well because it is not like anything else we are making at the moment."
Production is currently underway down under on a third series, which LivingTV plans to show next April.
