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.

This dvd isn't great there is about 10 minutes of good sketches on each episode and about 20 or 19 minutes of crap but the good bits are really good but all the crap is soooooooo boring and annoying

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....

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.

Because I can't rate it zero stars
Catchphrase comedy is a relic of the 80s and 90s and we should have moved on from this by now. Ricky Gervais has already lampooned it in Extras, but rubbish like this keeps coming... Read more

The best female comedian.
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... Read more
