Network Ten and Thunderbox Television are pleased to announce that Australia’s favourite porta-loo plumber and part-time philosopher, Kenny Smyth, will be housing his plunger, trademark overalls and gloves in the TEN toilets when his new docu-comedy airs in 2008.
Following on from the success of Kenny, The Jacobson Brothers are now creating an international travel show with a difference, KENNY’S TOILET TOUR (working title) an eight episode, half hour television series which follows Kenny on a sightseeing tour you won’t find in any Lonely Planet Guide.
From the World’s fastest Portaloo in Indianapolis, Egypt’s City of the Dead, The World Toilet Summit and Expo in India, the latest zero-gravity super loos in space to the eco friendly green toilets in the ancient Chinese capital Xi’an, Kenny scours the globe for bizarre, intriguing and often downright ridiculous examples of toilet technology and the people connected
to them.
The KENNY crew will depart Australia in late October to commence filming in a variety of destinations around the world including Russia, Japan, Sweden, China, Egypt, UK, and USA.
The announcement of KENNY’S TOILET TOUR (working title) complements the Australian TV premiere of KENNY and The Making of Kenny airing on TEN on Wednesday, September 19 at 8.30pm and the opening of the film in the UK on September 28.
KENNY’S TOILET TOUR (working title) is a uniquely engaging, informative and entertaining celebration of humanity – told with honesty, respect and heart – via one of the most basic but least talked about aspects of human life – “taking care of business”.
