Starting in 1994 Big Girls Blouse featured three girls from the hit sketch show Fast Forward, Jane Turner, Gina Riley and Magda Szubanski appeared with their own show, ploughing a similar furrow as Fast Forward Big Girl’s Blouse was easily the equal of FF and now thanks to Kaleidoscope we have the chance to see the episodes again.

Stand out for most people will be the early sketches featuring Kath and Kim (now considered to be the saviours of the Australian sitcom) in which Kim is busy preparing for her upcoming wedding not helped of course by the interfering of mum Kath and best friend Sharon).

Without question the girls are very funny and very clever and Big Girls Blouse is great fun to watch. Standouts include the numerous fake documentaries such  as the obsessive mother trying to make her daughter a child star even though she is 33 and there is also much fun to be had with the The Coralee Hollow Dance Company who make regular insane appearances throughout the series.

Mostly shot on film and with a glossy film Big Girls Blouse is never less than very entertaining and also worthy of note is the way that the girls are willing to go that extra yard to really make fools of themselves.  Extras include a photo gallery. Also available on VHS.
