DVD Description

The first three series of the hit character sketch comedy show are included in this fabulous box set.

Tate's motley cast of creations became recognisable overnight to UK TV fans - from Lauren, the belligerent schoolgirl who infected the country with her 'am I bovvered?' catchphrase to the Tourettes-like antics of the helplessly foul-mouthed granny, Nan Taylor. Other oddball characters include Bunty Carmichael, the middle-aged majorette unable to give up, Sam and Paul, the simple Essex couple with their perpetually unbelievable stories, the Northern Irish mum who's delighted that her son is gay and 1950s landlady Ma Willow.

Contains the six episodes of the first series, the seven episodes of the second series, the six episodes of the third series and the 2007 Comic Relief special, which sees Lauren meeting prime minister Tony Blair and 'Doctor Who' star David Tennant, and Nan appearing on 'Deal or No Deal'.



Synopsis

Collection comprising the three first series of television funnywoman Catherine Tate's comedy sketch show, featuring all her best-known characters and routines.

3.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive Isn't Always A Bad Thing, 20 Sep 2008
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Catherine Tate is a comedienne who enjoys having multi persona in her show, which is to the style of Harry Enfield and Chums, no real order, but funny all the same. For 30mins a week, we got laughs from many of her usual sketches and a few one off's - like the dog trainer who's rather crazy.

Some of the best characters in this are the guy who cannot stand being called gay ("who dear me dear no dear"), the grandma who can't keep a lid on her nasty side; the silly woman who's gullible on the internet and marries a death row inmate and of course that funny sketch about the woman working in the wig salon, some of the funniest moments come from this.

There's some really good observations by Catherine though; like the restaurant waitress who does those stupid things you often find in themed places ("Table 3 wants Boogie Dogs *silly music*") and of course Lauren who's supposed to be based on a real teenager - she seems to have got the annoyance they can often give others, and the slang is just funny. There's also the office worker annoying that poor woman next to her with those guessing games, how many of us have people like that in our lives?

Some really annoying things - that Irish woman who keeps saying "he's a gay man now", it's one of her worst sketches; the one where a red headed woman is taken to a special refuge, thought that was really stupid and some moments in series 3 show that Catherine was really ready to stop making the show, as she was showing signs of running out of material.

This is a good show though, really funny, the gran has me in stitches, so yes, repetitive comedy can be good, like the likes of Enfield, Whitehouse, Bishop, Novak, Taylor and many others who've made very repetitive jokes lately. I can see why some people have not enjoyed it though, if you don't like the characters it can be rather annoying, and Lauren got sillier by the series - but I still think this will appeal to most people who like the above comedians.

The DVDs are pretty good, with few extras, but still worthwhile owning - but sadly this doesn't have the Christmas specials.

Worth a look at if you like CT, otherwise get this if you're a big fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars ...mkay, 15 Dec 2007
By Sen (IA, US) - See all my reviews
The product description's wrong - it says that it comes with the 2007 Comic Relief special, and it does not. The 2005 Comic Relief special with McFly is on the disc for the first series.

As for the show itself, I'd seen bits of the third series and loved it. The first series is okay, but I was disappointed to compare it to the rest. Series two is also pretty good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous female comedy, 5 Aug 2008
The definitive version (charity specials are never worth looking at) of CT's wonderful sketches. Either you get this kind of cumulative comedy or you don't and I think other reviewers here might be happier with a more conventional sitcom or something with more men in it. CT is a great actress and the characters she creates are some very funny archetypes of ordinary womankind - buy it.
