January 2, 201411 yr Omg! Finally. Been waiting for Catherine to get back on TV for ages. Wish it included all the characters, but just nan will be bloody good too. ^_^
January 2, 201411 yr I just went back and watched an episode of TCTS and rekindled my love for Derek. Amazing character. :wub: The scene with Bonnie Langford :lol:!
January 2, 201411 yr Really looking forward to this! Would have preferred a new series of the full show though, so many amazing characters. Derek > Nan imo.
January 5, 201411 yr 'Come on move along love ain't you gotta go and have a big fat gypsy wedding' 'I ain't a gypsy' 'Well two outta three ain't bad' :wub: Hysterical, just as funny as I remembered!
January 5, 201411 yr Author I love how there were homages to old sketches like "Would you like a mint?!" and "Whos that?! .... GOD KNOWS"
January 5, 201411 yr It was a bit dry at places, and I can't imagine how a full series of it won't get boring very quickly, but I look forward to seeing if she can actually pull it off. What I did like however were the (whether it was intentional or not) homages to some of the sketches in the Catherine Tate Show - referring to a translator = the translator sketch. Saying "Come on Alice, we're off!" = "Come on Leonard, we're off!" from the Derek sketches, etc. Those were nice little touches!
January 5, 201411 yr Author Apparently had loads of complaints about it being racist ... I did find some of that kind of uncomfortable / unneeded at points. It could of done without it.
January 5, 201411 yr The return of Catherine Tate's Nan drew 4.30m/18.4% to BBC1. It was narrowly beaten by the new series of Take Me Out though (4.35m/18.6%). A bit less than I was expecting, tbh. I reckon the BBC will have been looking for 5m+ for it to be given a full series.
January 5, 201411 yr Apparently had loads of complaints about it being racist ... I did find some of that kind of uncomfortable / unneeded at points. It could of done without it. The 'ooh init hot' made me laugh as that's typical Nan but I think the new Indian neighbour bit wasn't needed at all... I think maybe rather than a full Nan series, maybe just a series of one-offs featuring memorable characters such as Bernie, the posh mother or Derek would be good. I did really enjoy this pilot as I said, but I'm not sure if it'll get the full series now :(
January 5, 201411 yr Apparently had loads of complaints about it being racist ... I did find some of that kind of uncomfortable / unneeded at points. It could of done without it. Bit un-PC yes, but we need some of that and it was funny.
January 20, 201411 yr wish i'd seen this. i did actually love the show, i got the entire series on dvd bet it was awsome
January 20, 201411 yr Might still be on BBC iPlayer! good thinking! you know i always forget about the I player? i shouldn't because i used to catch up on ITV player with emmerdale when my tv was having signal troubles so i couldn't watch it
May 20, 201510 yr Two further half-hour specials will be broadcast in 2016. When I saw the headline, I thought there might have been a full series but at least we're getting something!
May 20, 201510 yr I was so excited it'd be a full series too :lol: Like I said a few posts up though, I'm not sure a full series would work necessarily, and I think one-off specials for other characters as part of a series would be great.
