Simultaneously glorious and hilarious: On the wall of Kath's 'good room' is a small picture-box which contains a little line-up, from tallest to smallest, of several little carved wooden elephants. (By picture-box I mean it's in a picture frame but contains three-dimensional objects.) We spotted this in the background once and went absolutely wild because my mother has exactly the same picture-box hanging on the wall of her living room. It was a gift from a friend who lives in Sydney, so obviously it's an Australian Thing. Every time we watch Kath & Kim and someone spots that, it gets a cheer. I think the final sign that you love a show very much is when its catchphrases become, not just something you repeat for a joke, but part of your everyday language. 'Look at moiye' has definitely become one of these. And our house has a 'good room' like Kath & Kim upstairs, and a 'pool room' like The Castle downstairs. Meanwhile, my mother has taken to calling the local seamstress shop where she gets her hems raised 'Kath and Keem' because its real name is 'House of Kimi and Kelly.'
