Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

A Masterpiece!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

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.

For anyone thinking of watching the Catherine Tate show who hasn't already my advice to you would to not watch it, go for a walk instead, in fact you could spend your time better doing pretty much anything, listening to half an hour of MIka's album would even be a better use of your time.The point is, the Catherine Tate show is a complete and utter waste of time. It is, simply put, rubbish. The show is made up of all sort of really unfunny characters who say the same stupid things over and over and over again. Until you just want to get a shot gun and either shoot the t.v ,yourself, or better yet shoot miss Tate.It's amazing to think that the show was ever commisoned in the first place, as a couple of five year olds stuck in a room with a box of crayons could write a more sophisticated and amusing piece of television.I pity people who actually like this garbage, let alone waste hours of their lives soaking it up. Who ever thinks that Catherine Tate is funny needs a head butt. If I ever laughed at one of her "jokes" I would seriously re-evaluate my life, in fact I would probably cease to see the point in living anymore and crawl away into a dark corner and kill myself.To sum up, the Catherine Tate show is quite possibly the worst comedy I have ever had the miss fortune of flicking past. I've seen documentaries about people dying that were funnier than this complete and utter shambles. Rubbish.

I have to disagree with everyone that has said they do not find 'The Catherine Tate Show' amusing. However I do take in to consideration that everyone finds humour in different ways. I think she has come up with a broad variety of great characters which she plays very well but it is important not to forget the other characters involved who make it even better including Matthew Horne, Derren Litten, Ella Kenion, etc. 'The Catherine Tate Show' is very different from 'Little Britain' in regards to the rudeness level. Where as with most 'Little Britain' scenes there is referral to gays, bisexuals, transvestites, racists, etc (very strong issues which some may find disturbing) 'The Catherine Tate Show' does not and finds humour in other ways.

It is mind-boggling to believe that people find this sketch show funny and even hilarious.Contemporary British comic performers seem to constantly rely on the comedy of embarrassment(Ricky Gervais,Sacha Baron Cohen,David Walliams,Matt Lucas,etc.) which has admittedly provided some amusement but is now starting to become more obvious and hackneyed the longer this particular device is being applied.THE CATHERINE TATE SHOW succeeds in merely just being embarrassing.As well as being crude,repetitive and long drawn out.To be fair,Ms Tate shows some ability as a character actress,but she doesn't seem to have any prowess as a writer.Her 'chavette' character of Lauren for example has some comic potential,but is constantly let down by constant and irritating repetition of the same catchphrase(I won't bore anyone by mentioning this yet again)and other lines of dialogue until they grind one's teeth to the point of no enamel.These sketches would be much funnier if they weren't so pointlessly overstretched and reduced by more than half.I don't necessarily object to bad language being used in comedy as long as the material surrounding it is funny and in a decent context(Billy Connolly is a master of such a technique),but her foul-mouthed OAP character is ruined by weak scripting,and the profanities uttered merely come across as a shock tactic.In these and other sketches,Tate often falls into the familiar trap of overplaying and mugging to try and disguise the thinness of the situations;the irony is some of the supporting performances sometimes come off rather better as they are less strident and usually provide the only funny moments in the entire show.Ms Tate's aforementioned contemporaries are somewhat funnier,but this does not particularly make them anymore outstanding.Modern British comedy seems stuck in a rut at the moment,with most of the above having a degree of appreciation,but never being especially regarded by the British public with great love or affection.In recent years,the deaths of comic legends such as Spike Milligan and Ronnie Barker made front page headlines in national newspapers,and were the lead stories in virtually all the networked news bulletins.Do you think that when old father time calls on our present comic favourites in perhaps 30 or 40 years time such as Gervais,Baron Cohen,Tate,etc. that this would seemingly unite the country in collective mourning like the passing of Barker,for example?
