Popular British [[Sketch Comedy]] show written and performed by comedienne [[Catherine Tate]], as the name suggests. It was based on a number of regular characters and introduced many catchphrases, including "Am I bovvered?", "What a fucking liberty!", "How very dare you!", "Who, dear? Me, dear? Gay, dear? No, dear!", "Have a guess!", "I can do that!" and "The dirty bastards!"
The best known recurring characters were Lauren, a cheeky "chav" schoolgirl with attitude; and Nan, a foul-mouthed grandmother.

He reveals that he really is the Doctor, and turns her into a Rose Tyler action figure with his Sonic Screwdriver.
** Tennant also appeared in ''Nan's Christmas Carol'' as the Ghost of Christmas Present. To quote Nan: "That's all I need - a Scots ghost with a comedy ringtone!"
