Product Description

“A laugh-fest from beginning to end” The Mirror

Catherine Tate’s brilliant character gets the Scrooge treatment with an extended Christmas special all to herself…

“Christmas? What a load of old s**t!” When mean-spirited, two-faced, foulmouthed Nan welcomes the festive season with her usual mix of sweetness, sarcasm and expletives, she finds her late husband appearing to warn her of some impending visitors.

This hilarious update of Charles Dickens’ story unfolds after Nan has turned out the Cratchits, her relatives from Yorkshire (with their dog, Tiny Tim), on Christmas Eve and stolen the over-60 club’s lottery money. The Ghost of Christmas Past reveals just how horrible Nan was as a child and as a young wife, while the risotto-cooking, Armani-clad, Ghost of Christmas Present (David Tennant) and The Ghost of Christmas Future show the curmudgeonly old killjoy some home truths.
Will they be able to change Nan’s ways? Could there be a sweet old lady beneath that miserly exterior? Or will the ghosts get the same response as so many of the living: “What a f***!! liberty!”?

5.0 out of 5 stars Tis' the season to be jolly! 11 July 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the one-off Christmas special from Catherine Tate that aired on Christmas Day 2009. Nan's Christmas Carol is a re-telling of the classic Dickens story with Nan as a Scrooge-like character. Naturally this isn't a faithful version of the story!

I don't want to give away too much because I think the joy of this version is discovering how cleverly Catherine Tate has incorporated all of Nan's personality and home life. David Tennant, Roger Lloyd Pack and Ben Miller play the ghosts with Madness making a special appearance. The Cratchits are represented by Nan's Northern nephew Bob and his family. Cue lots of Northern stereotypes which as a northerner I find hilarious! I'm not a fan of David Tennanat but his appearance is brilliant. They clearly have a good on-screen prescence together.

When watching the Catherine Tate series I've always found her sketches to be a bit samey/over long. However this programme is 50 minutes long and doesn't flag at all. Highly recommended and would make a great Christmas present.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nan's Christmas Tale - Excellent DVD 3 Aug 2011
I love the Catherine Tate Show, Nan is my favorite character, followed by Lauren.

The Christmas Carol story is an amazing tale for that season, and for me, Catherine Tate as Nan, does it Brilliantly, that I love to watch it on Christmas Eve as it makes me laugh and laugh. I hope Catherine Tate does some more shows soon for TV viewing, as it is a great comedy show.
