"Catherine Tate may be one of the newest talents to arrive from England. Her show is not yet broadcasted in America as it should have. Regardless, it is one of the funniest shows that I have seen in a long time and Catherine Tate is becoming one of my television favorites. She can transform herself from a young flygirl teenager to an annoying old woman. In between, she plays the woman who is frightened of her own shadow; the mall information lady who is useless, haven't we met one of them; the woman who can't get drunk enough to have sex with her boyfriend; the drunk real estate agent who makes crude remarks, and others. Anyway, the six episodes are really wonderful to watch over and over again. As somebody who got the first season of the show, I hope other American anglophiles will take a chance on Catherine Tate. She's one of Britain's funniest leading ladies."
Brilliant!

"Our friends in the UK have been going on and on about Catherine Tate for ages so we were delighted when the show debuted on BBC America just recently. We were not disappointed!
Catherine Tate is a very talented comedian who is convincing as the foul-mouthed Nan, the typical teenager who wants to know if she is being disrespected, and the posh "too much time on her hands" mother and house wife "Horrors - down to the last 4 litres of extra virgin olive oil". The funny thing is that I can identify with each of these characters as either family members or someone I know.
We are so glad that the boxed set is to be released in days. Looking forward to seeing the shows without all the American adverts! For those who aren't familar with the various British accents, you may have to "cheat" and use your closed captioning option. The humour won't be lost though.. Cheers!"

"Catherine Tate is a completely transformational performer. In this collection she brings us sad-sack Elaine Figgis, the line-dancing Brit baker whose e-courting of a death-row Texan is at once pathetic and hilarious; Nan Taylor, the outrageous Granny with a foul mouth and a keen wit; and the apotheosis of high school apathy, Lauren, who is perpetually "bovvered" by any kind of authority. Treat yourself, and check out this extraordinarily sharp, insightful and funny collection."
