Fresh from picking up Best Comedy Newcomer prize at the British Comedy
Awards, Catherine Tate can be seen on BBC AMERICA in an original new
comedy sketch show. The Catherine Tate Show premieres Wednesdays at
8:40 p.m. ET\PT from February 23, 2005
Characters from everyday life are parodied to the extreme as the
talented actress morphs through numerous accents and wigs. Meet:
* Margaret, a woman frightened of her own shadow.
* Bunty Carmichael, the Doncaster Spinners' best majorette but, at 31,
the oldest by about 20 years.
* Elaine, the Death Row wife who has found love with a convicted
murderer awaiting execution.
* new parents Ben and Karen, determined not to let their first baby
dictate how they live their lives.
* Bernie the Irish nurse, for whom caring for people has always been a
passion, just as long as it doesn't interfere with her love of good
food and, more importantly, men.
* Lauren, a feisty teenager with a tenuous grasp of street slang
("Bing, bing, innit").
* Erin, a soap opera star who has collagen lip enhancements between
takes.
Widely acclaimed for her sharp observation, versatile acting ability
and enviable comic timing, Catherine Tate has been credited for creating
one of the funniest and most addictive new comedy sketch shows.
Catherine Tate was winner of the Best Comedy Newcomer Award at
the British Comedy Awards. The Catherine Tate Show is the winner of a
