Three Sydney socialites today revealed their plans to create a Gossip Girl type television series, all based around their wild, high-class social life.
Called Snobs, the show would be an exciting new foray into as yet untested genres. "We asked ourselves, what is something unique about Australia? And what original, challenging content could we provide in a drama set in Australia? And then we threw all those ideas out and went with a cheap and tacky remake of American shows such as O.C or Sex and the City," explained creative director Susan Watermeadow.
"We're not sure if the 'three girls spending big and going wild in a city setting' format is really going to work - I think we're really pushing the boundaries of what's ever been tested in comedy series before," cast member Gracie Otto enthused. "We're just hoping that Australian audiences will be ready to embrace something as diverse as the mild mishaps and shenanigans of three rich white girls," she continued.
"The title is certainly not intended as elitist, or anything like that," one scriptwriter hurried to affirm. "It's something everyone can enjoy - we're even planning on celebrating the diversity of the Australian people - perhaps a token Muslim friend can make a guest appearance."
