Amazon.co.uk Review
The Catherine Tate Show returns to DVD with its successful third series, and there are some increasingly familiar faces along for the journey too.
Very much in the spirit of the comedy sketch show of old--Harry Enfield’s Television Programme seems an obvious template--The Catherine Tate Show nonetheless carves its own niche, and that’s thanks very much to the array of talents of its star. Catherine Tate can clearly both act and write, but more crucially for this endeavour, she can’t half make you laugh.
Highlights of series three of The Catherine Tate Show include foul-mouthed Nan’s appearance on The Paul O’Grady Show, the continued antics of Lauren (surely Britain’s scariest schoolgirl) and the appearance of the likes of Leslie Phillips (who, surely, is pretty much welcome anywhere), Jools Holland and Patsy Palmer. But what’s also welcome is the number of smaller, lower profile characters who are also explored, usually to great comedic effect.
It’s already been confirmed that this is to be the final full series of The Catherine Tate Show, and perhaps it’s right that it ends while it’s still on a high. Because series three is a real delight, frequently funny, eminently quotable and, ultimately, downright entertaining. --Jon Foster

I think this series of the Catherine Tate Show was the strongest of her three. Many people I have spoken to did not find her first series very funny and I can understand that as I had to watch it a number of times to really *get* it.
By series three she is on form though and has filtered out the weaker characters. I think where Catherine Tate wins in comparison to Little Britain is that she is better at keeping her regular characters fresh. The asbo teen Lauren, the foul mouthed granny, Bernie the nurse and the in denial Derek all return here in fresh, hilarious scenarios. Of the new sketches Geordie Georgie is especially welcome with her persistant and random fundraising antics.
As a DVD this is slightly disapointing. There are only six episodes to this series and the only extra is selected commentary on select scenes. This would have been much better value if there were some more features such as 'Behind The Scenes' or they could have included one of Catherine Tates many interviews (Richard & Judy/Paul O Grady) like they often do with the Little Britain sets. Additionally, if you were expecting to have the Comic Relief specials included they are not on here.
If you enjoyed Series 2 you'll love this new series. If you're new to Catherine Tate give this a go if your sense of humour is along the lines of Little Britain.

I bought this for my teenage Son who thinks the shows are very funny. He enjoyed the DVD's.
This woman is a comedy genius...I just wish each of her characters had it's own "scene selection" on the Main Title Menu. Some characters are wonderful, believeable - and in fact - loveable, fallible human beings whose foibles (that we all share-so we can all relate) are "ramped up" to a hilarious level. Others are good, but the subject matter is just so incredibly shocking, that I scrambled for the remote control to jump past the language and subject matter when showing it to my guests. Unfortunately, the unbelieveably shocking characters are mixed in with the loveable ones, and you can't pick and choose.

Very disappointed
I had seen a couple of sketches on youtube (I live abroad) and was amused enough to order this. I found the DVD very disappointing, the sketches were too long and repetitive. Read more

Because I can't rate it zero stars
This is just as bad as the other two series. Lowest common denominator BBC rubbish. This might make a child or somebody of low intelligence laugh, but everybody else should avoid... Read more
