Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Even though her career pinnacle may now be getting the British Prime Minister to utter her catchphrases on television, there’s much gold to be found in this Catherine Tate, which brings together the first two series of her popular sketch show.

The format of the programme is fairly traditional, as Tate lends her writing and performance magic to a broad spectrum of characters. The headliners, of course, are the foul-mouthed Nan (and new viewers be warned, she’s a very foul mouthed Nan!) and Lauren the schoolgirl, replete with her impenetrable chav-talk and infamous "Bovvered" catchphrase. But plenty of other delights lie beneath the surface, and while some elements of The Catherine Tate Show drag on a little past their welcome, there are umpteen laughs to be had in this set.

To some extent, The Catherine Tate Show has lived in the shadow of the other sketch show of the moment, the wildly popular Little Britain. But that’s unfair. Tate has plenty up her sleeve to give Messrs Lucas and Walliams a run for their money, and frequently does. A little bit more work on the script editing could really make the difference.

But for now, The Catherine Tate Show has far more going for it than it has problems, and the delights across the two series packaged together here more than justify the asking price. Even Tony Blair is likely to agree…--Jon Foster

Synopsis
Catherine Tate's ascension to fame has been rapid but definitely well-deserved. Her sketch show features an eclectic collection of comedy creations; from Cockney Nan to the rather outspoken schoolgirl, Lauren, Tate’s characters are all the more funny because they remind us of people in everyday life. The second series of The Catherine Tate Show improves upon the foundations laid out in the first, proving why the comedienne ranks as one of the funniest people currently on television. Contains every episode from the first and second series.

5.0 out of 5 stars British comedy at it's best!, 13 Jan 2007
By K. M. Worrell (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There's one review here saying he/she threw it away after watching two episodes...

1: u must've liked it to go thru the bother of buying it.
2: after two episodes? ever heard of returning an item??

Anyway - this comedy is hilarious. Alot of versatility and witty comedy. The way Catherine can talk as fast as she can in the "am i bovvered?" skits amazes me!

If u need more of a reason to buy this just go to YouTube and search Catherine Tate, watch a skit like the one with Paul O Grady and believe me u won't look back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piffle!!, 8 Aug 2007
By Markie "marx1977" (hereandthere) - See all my reviews
Absolute and utter tosh. Not funny whatsoever. Anyone who finds this remotely funny needs to get a reappraisal of what the phrase "I have a good sense of humour" actually means. Seriously, if a comedy legacy can be earned from idiotic phrases like "Am I bovvered" and pathetic characters trying to be funny, well it's the end of western civilization as we know it. Really....

4.0 out of 5 stars The best female comedian., 27 April 2007

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   

Unfortunately the world of comedy is seriously under-represented by women. That is one of the reasons it is so great to see Catherine Tate riding high in the ratings and embedding itself into everyday conversation.

Like all comedy sketch shows, you may not love every sketch as much as each other, but there aren't many weak ones.

My personal favourite series of sketches are the ones featuring the xenophobic couple who despise any culture outside of their living room - "...the filthy [...]! And this was in Romford!" - has me crying with laughter every time!

The range of characters and their voices/accents/makeup are phenomenal - it's hard to believe it's all one woman!

This is a worthy buy to relax and have a laugh with after a hard day at work.
