 'The Catherine Tate Show' was a sketch show that ran for 3 series, 18 episodes in total, between 16th February 2004-25th November 2006 on BBC Two. Four additional specials were shown, including two that followed after the original run. It is one of the most successful TV series since 2000, regularly becoming BBC Two's top rated show of the week. It has been nominated for six BAFTA Awards, two British Comedy Awards and an Emmy Award as well as winning two Royal Television Society Awards, two British Comedy Awards and a National Television Award since its debut in 2004. Sketches included:
Highlights: Of course there are many, many more and I would happily post the full series but there are three favourites of mine! What are your memories of the show? Remember for TV shows that pre-date 2000, visit the Retro Lounge! |

YES! SO SO glad you included the translator in the highlights! My favourite sketch of hers
 But her shows in general were really good. I wish she'd do more, although Lauren was getting just as predictable as 'Little Britain'. |

The offensive translator will forever remain one of the most iconic television moments ever.
 Still so hilarious to this day!  One of my personal favourites though is this, refuses to get old: Brilliant thread by the way!  I have been going back and watching old clips from the show just recently so it's great to have somewhere to have a look back at them!

Nan is my absolute fave!
I've got the whole of the Catherine Tate Show on DVD. Such an amazing series!Nan's Christmas sketch featuring Kathy Burke and Nitin Ganatra was all shades of *.* |

The middle class mother has to be my fave
 But also nan and the offensive translator, plus the woman in the office who makes her co-worker guess things.I have the whole series on DVD too, my favourite sketch show ever

Amazing thread/blast from the past! I absolutely adored this show. I remember one Christmas I got a series for my PSP and used to watch it on the sly in bed and on car journeys all the time.
Weird timing actually because I only randomly remembered and revisited that offensive translator sketch a couple of days ago when talking to Riser about an SNL skit, having forgotton about it for years  . Definitely among my all-time favourites, especially because of her brief look of contentment each time before she moves on to the next one!I always loved the one with the office workers whose guessing games never went to plan because it reminded me of my younger brother and I when we were kids  . Something about her character was very true to certain people in life.'Fergus, Imogen, Chloe and I are having a gooseberry and cinnamon yoghurt' woman was also amazing. I loved the one where she took a wrong turn and found herself in Tottenham! 'You are never gonna BELIEEEEVE what happened to MAAAAAY' woman was another highlight. Lauren was also a fave obviously but I could take or leave Nan (oops). She had her moments but her shtick got a bit stale for me after a while.  Of the ones not mentioned yet/potentially underrated ones, I found the 'Think about it, Whittaker' smug detective particularly hilarious along with the clueless shopping centre information point...worker . Oh, and the woman who unintentionally insults everyone she meets at parties and then awkwardly backtracks . Gah I loved this show and always thought Catherine had awesome comic timing. Really want to watch an episode again now.

The dispatches-esque style of the Elaine Wainwright sketch still kills me every time.
"He will never be able to visit you in your bakery because he's in Texas on death row." "If you want to call it death row." "What would you call it?" "...No, yes. It's death row." *.* "He also ate two of them." "...Have you ever done something you regret?" *.* |

Oh god that one as well!
This is one of those shows where I try to pick a highlight and then it dawns on me that pretty much all of it could be considered to be a highlight. I don't think there's really any characters I was never keen on, maybe one or two of the smaller characters who only had a couple of sketches? |

omg the Paul and Sam sketches
The one where she's just sitting there telling a story and the roof collapses on her and she's just like "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED" !

What was the name of the lady that always came in singing and tried to petition everything to her office co-worker Martin?

I've watched the first two episodes again earlier this week and I still laughed more than I have done in comedy show for years! It really is genuinely hilarious
The fact that soo many sketches have been named in this thread shows how funny the WHOLE show is, rather than two or three memorable sketches. I forgot about Paul & Sam, the one that April just posted especially is my favourite! I think another one of my favourites that hasn't been mentioned is the 'Gingers for Justice' sketches.

I loved those scenes, especially when they were protesting and one of them said they were getting sun burnt This thread has prompted me to rewatch a few odd episodes here and there! The "I can do that" woman was funny too!
