bootlebarth British expatriates in the big brown land of Australia look forward to comedy TV from Dear Old Blighty. Often we're richly rewarded. Think of Blackadder, Father Ted, The League of Gentlemen and others. But sometimes we're horribly disappointed.If a Roll of Dishonour was compiled for alleged comedy, Catherine Tate would be a prime contender for the unfunniest performer in the most lazily written and repetitive series of all time.I used to think Benny Hill and Paul Hogan were about as bad as it gets, then My Family turned up and finally The CT Show came along. This dire series is founded on the entirely false premise that moronic catchphrases and characters mature with repetition, becoming funnier each time. The exact reverse is true.See one Catherine Tate episode - and even that's one too many for any discerning viewer - and you've seen them all. Invention and surprise should form the backbone of comedy. This series has neither. It's embarrassingly bad. The 'star' constantly seems to be reminding anyone unfortunate or foolish enough to be watching how clever she is at wearing different wigs and putting on different accents. This is pseudo-comedy for idiots who have conditioned themselves to give forth programmed laughter at the sight of a ginger wig or the sound of a limp catchphrase. The CT Show is fit only for masochistic couch potatoes who want something to make them feel very annoyed. It frightens me to think there are a lot of people who like such dreadful rubbish.

triumph_of_the_bugle Many people don't find Catherine Tate funny. They can't see what is funny about her sketches, but the humour really comes from how absolutely spot on real they are. Lauren Cooper is a classic example- so many people find seeing a girl say 'Am I Bovvered?' a lot boring, but it is a classic representation of the chav subculture and it is dead on.I read one comment that said offense was taken in a sketch where there was a 'ginger retreat' for redheads who were being outcast by society. As a redhead herself, I'm sure Catherine Tate didn't mean to offend anybody in this sketch- and indeed involve an ending where the redheads protested about their rejection from society.The real humour in Catherine Tate is to be able to laugh at yourself, something a lot of people can't do.The CTS is often compared to Little Britain- something that strikes me by surprise as I find them very different. Little Britain relies on rude, unbelievable jokes to make things work- The Catherine Tate Show's funniest sketches are often her tamest, such as the Aga Saga Woman who stops an egg-and-spoon race in disgust because "The Eggs aren't organic"- hilarious.The Catherine Tate Show is one of the funniest shows on TV, and Catherine Tate is very talented.

Syl One British woman, Catherine Tate, is multi-talented enough to play several roles in her titled show including the woman is not drunk enough to find her date attractive enough, or the woman who screams at anything because she is easily scared, then there is the couple of new parents with a sleeping baby who won't get out of the car for the mother's birthday party because the baby has finally fallen asleep and don't want to risk the sound of waking her up. Also, there is the couple of women who work in an office cubicle where she keeps asking her to guess how much whether it's weight or money. Catherine Tate might be a new face but she is somebody to watch out for in the future. She's very talented and capable of maintaining a sense of humor throughout the program even being unrecognizable. She does a fabulous job at showing off her craft of British comedy. Now if we can only get it in America.

tatterwip The Catherine Tate show is made up of numerous sketches that, usually, revolve around the same selection of characters. Some - I have to admit - are a laugh, but the problem is they go on for too long! Especially the "Am I bovvvered!" girl. This character and the "Swearing Granny" sketches go on for so long that they begin to grate on the brain. I know, I know! I live in the 21st century and I can turn the TV over. But currently on the Beeb, they are repeating the show in between Still Game (Brilliant) and a new series by Steve Coogan, Saxondale (Also brilliant) Catherine Tate CAN act, and can do comic characters, but characters that would much more suit a film that a TV show.Once the predictable parts of the sketches get into your mind (after one watch) the show gets really old, really fast.
