The Catherine Tate Show

I totally disagree with the previous reviewer's comments, although obviously it all comes down to taste in the end.

Catherine Tate is a brilliant comedian. Some of the characters are so spot on it's spooky. Who can believe that the elderly character Nan is being portrayed by the same actress who portrays the sullen schoolgirl Lauren? OK, not all the sketches are as funny but it is worth watching for the absolutely hysterical moments that punctuate this show. Timing is brilliant and some of the characters will I am sure become classics. In the new series the hit rate is even better!

I think Catherine Tate deserves to be called the new Queen of Comedy!

As I wish to be a comedienne when I grow up I take a real interest in the many comedy acts out there and am not surprised to find that girls are outnumbered by men. Without a doubt, Catherine Tate is the female Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Her show The Catherine Tate show is a parody of Little Britain and just goes to show, whatever men can do so can girls. I find it a real shame that The Catherine Tate show hasn't had as much success as Little Britain because some of her characters will have Lucas and Walliam's kicking themselves (and wetting themselves) for not coming up with them. However I must say that Matt Lucas and Catherine Tate make a good argument for the way comedy is made through making people laugh at themselves (mostly chavs)...! Last words: "Are you disrespecting me?" No, we uphold most respect where it is due and here it most certainly is!

"Is an old woman swearing funny" - "This sort of comedy is done 100 times better by Matt Lucas in little Britain". Well in that case is a pedantic man in a wheelchair funny? Comedy is subjective, Catherine Tate's observations are spot on, OK granted some of the sketches go on too long, the essex couple (with Lee Ross) spring to mind, but the gran sketch has characteristics present in old people all across the country. Will this be shown in twenty years time, who knows but i was brought up on Not the nine o clock news also and a lot of that Doesn't stand the test of time and is very dated, as is a lot of the young ones. If you don't like it don't watch, but a lot of other people do.............................

One British woman, Catherine Tate, is multi-talented enough to play several roles in her titled show including the woman is not drunk enough to find her date attractive enough, or the woman who screams at anything because she is easily scared, then there is the couple of new parents with a sleeping baby who won't get out of the car for the mother's birthday party because the baby has finally fallen asleep and don't want to risk the sound of waking her up. Also, there is the couple of women who work in an office cubicle where she keeps asking her to guess how much whether it's weight or money. Catherine Tate might be a new face but she is somebody to watch out for in the future. She's very talented and capable of maintaining a sense of humor throughout the program even being unrecognizable. She does a fabulous job at showing off her craft of British comedy. Now if we can only get it in America.

I realise that humour is quite a subjective thing but all the same Catherine Tate is about as funny as infant mortality. People say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but personally I think catchphrase comedy is several steps down from it. Most of her material has been crudely borrowed from other shows, some of which weren't really that good either.

Luckily for this stupid ginger harridan the good old BBC like to give out very long contracts as a result of having a few 'stars' poached by ITV about twenty bloody years ago. They never got over it and so the likes of Catherine 'talent vacuum' Tate are given five, ten or even fifteen year contracts. What this means for the viewer is whether they turn out to be any good or not they will be on your screen for a very long time.

I wouldn't really care to be honest but the BBC foisted her on Dr Who fans ruining that show as well. She has no talent, no charisma and she certainly isn't funny but you'll be seeing lots more of her I'm sure.
