Anyone else watching this new Catherine Tate show? There are 6 episodes of 30 mins each and it shows on BBC at 9.30pm on Fridays.

I've already watched the first 3 episodes on iplayer!

I’ve just switched in the telly and watched 5 minutes. That was enough.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 16/06/2023 21:40

Watching at present. Not convinced yet...

LizzieSiddal · 16/06/2023 21:40

I’m finding it pretty poor. I usually love Catherine.

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2023 21:43

Not as funny as Harry Enfield in ' the Windsor's'

Meredusoleil · 16/06/2023 21:50

I agree. It's not as funny or clever as he previous stuff. Just a lot of swearing, ranting and raving.

I wonder if she modelled the character on someone in particular 🤔

Well I'm afraid I won't bother with any more episodes of this...

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2023 22:02

Colin from accounts was funny and warm hearted
This isn't

GoodOnPaper · 16/06/2023 22:05

Just turned it off.

Not for me.

JRHartleysmum · 16/06/2023 22:05

Awful

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2023 22:06

I wonder who commissioned it ?
Heads should roll

PuppyMonkey · 16/06/2023 22:07

I think I got to the 1 minute mark where she threw up on the model house and then thought… nah.

Colin from Accounts is uttterly wonderful.

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2023 22:08

I hate vomit jokes.
Reminds me of drunk older teenagers coming in from a night out !
That was bad enough! Lol

flyhome · 16/06/2023 22:11

Rubbish

martinisforeveryone · 16/06/2023 22:11

Loved Colin From Accounts, most of it anyway. Saw a trailer for this and wasn’t remotely tempted. Sounds like the right decision.

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2023 22:13

I do like CT , but this was dreadful
I did laugh at one joke , but mostly it was woeful

Fuckitydoodah · 16/06/2023 22:14

I just came on specifically to see if there were any threads about it. It's up there amongst some of the worst things I've seen on TV. She must have some mates in high places in the BBC.

Absolute pile of unfunny shite. She should be embarrassed.

AnneLovesGilbert · 16/06/2023 22:17

Got it on now as was watching HIGNFY. I’ve only ever really liked her as Nelly in the American Office and this hasn’t changed my mind.

Been planning to give Colin a go, glad it’s getting good reviews on here.

HIGNFY was very good.

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2023 22:18

CT looked a bit sheepish on the ' one show'
Alex and the very lovely Roman, didn't really say ' we like this'
They were just very polite instead!
(Always a clue it's a summer time filler)

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2023 22:19

I'd rather repeats of ' the Brittas empire '
.. at least that had some kudos

Ellenanora7 · 16/06/2023 22:38

It's absolutely dreadful, once she threw up I knew it was going to be crap.

The Cark joke has been doing the rounds for years (it was previously the barista writing the name on the coffee cup thing).

It was pretty woeful.

BalloonSlayer · 17/06/2023 08:04

I quite liked it, but then I am a lowest-common-denominator sort of girl.

I am hoping she ends up turning in the end.

I liked the Time Lord line, because, well, you know . . .

BalloonSlayer · 17/06/2023 08:04

Turning nice, that was supposed to say!

Snozzlemaid · 17/06/2023 08:08

The advert put me off, but definitely won't be watching now so many of you confirm it's not good.
