Australian Comedy “Gold Diggers” ABC TV Drops Trailer

Gold Diggers is set in the 1850s, when men from all over the world are drawn to the goldfields in the hopes of striking it rich. The story follows Gert and Marigold, two sisters who hope to make a fortune by landing themselves some rich idiots.

Together, Danielle Walker (Taskmaster, Get Krack!n’) and Claire Lovering (Class of ’07, Wellmania) play the Brewer sisters, Gert (a feisty party animal) and Marigold (a naive dreamer) who will do anything to make their fortune, even if it means enduring the lads, lice, and lechery of the Australian goldfields.
