I've worked in nursing homes and cared for many elderly people. Catherine Tate has more than the voice, but the way she walks, the tight limbs, arched back, fidgets with things slowly ... it's really brilliant to watch because it seems so comfortable with her. I've never seen anyone do it better and she's hilarious.
Totally agree. I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few days ago...you literally cannot believe that Nan is CT. The body movements, voice, it's stunning acting
I used to work in dementia care and I helped out an elderly woman who was just like her! She was my absolute favourite (sshh), just such a lush woman! She never failed to make us smile, so genuine and cool. I miss her :(
😂 I had an old fella I used help take care of as well and he was exactly like this lady! Ornery as heck and I loved him to pieces. Sure miss that old fella. ❤
My Nana, who never said a 'bad word' her whole life, began showing signs of dementia towards the end of her days....she went total Catherine Tait on the world, and it was the cutest thing ever. We loved her even more for it...but those poor nurses. Thankfully they have a sense of humor too lol. Hearing my Nana call my Mom "that wicked slut from down the road always trying to steal my husband" was just amazing. Sad, but we tried to keep our sense of humor around it and just make sure she felt safe. While trying not to laugh out loud for real. :D
this was my grans favorite and self confessed alter ego. and I was the unfortunate frustrated grandson. it is so close to the truth it makes me cry with laughter. I will miss her.
I love the way she acts all innocent and then as the conversation furthers she spills all and swears like crazy! My grandmothers passed when I was really little but I bet you they would have been like this..it’s sort of endearing in a way 😅
Cathrine Tate is so underrated. Don’t get me wrong She does a lot that does not work out in my opinion. But when a sketch works well for her she knocks it completely out of the park. I would easily say my favourite woman comedian. But when your the doctors companion gives you a slight advantage lol.
The end of the second sketch was my nan too a tee. I loved her dearly, but she was just like that... Around strangers she acted like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, but when we were alone she was complaining about everything to me, including what I'd done wrong. xD
Catherine based Nan on a lady from a nursing home she saw once when she was part of a group that went around care homes providing entertainment, songs, acting out pieces etc. She said the woman used this type of language 😆. My Nana was in care with dementia, she knew who we were thankfully and never swore, but some in the home used to get up and swear at us visitors. One lady looked meek and frail in her chair, I went to read a magazine and she rose from the chair effing at me I got scared and ran off 😳😅. Nan is a funny character and just like some of the very senior people I have seen in care homes through a job and family being in care.
Brilliant this character is - and whoever does the make-up it's amazing the way they make Catherine look so old. The language that comes out of her mouth - my goodness!
This is legit my nan! Just with a stronger cockney accent! Plus she knows it as well!!! She always says when I come down she always greets me and says ya come up and see me aintcha! Oh you are a good boy lol! X
My late nan was like her, you made her angry she turned into a right dragon but she had a heart of gold and had such a caring nature. She had a wonderful sense of humour even when she fell very sick with her cancer but I would not have wanted her any other way. She loved this show to. I miss her soooo much
I wish Cathrine Tate would do a factory shop floor. Workers swear like hell but only at others they LIKE. The more the swearing the stronger the friendship.

Apparently it was an *out spoken* lady in a nursing home that inspired her 😂😂😂
@Yes that would have been interesting!
@ Beth A Finn. .me also infact all that's missing is the chocolate almonds and the smell of pee.
Beth A. Finn she worked in a nursing home for drama school
@Casey Closed ex . Good life's now better for you.
Hard to believe that it is actually Catherine Tate!
She's so awesome, a truly stunning actress!

Totally agree. I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few days ago...you literally cannot believe that Nan is CT. The body movements, voice, it's stunning acting
she does it too well , i had a aunt who had the same mannerism and sat with het leg open just like nan
They don't make shows like this anymore.. Catherine Tate is a genius!
Agree she is genius
check out `not the 9 o`clock news` from late 70`s/early 80`s
Michael Joplin yep aha would love Nan and Mrs brown at the pub
it wasnt a decade old when you posted this smh
They can't say stuff anymore 😪
I used to work in dementia care and I helped out an elderly woman who was just like her! She was my absolute favourite (sshh), just such a lush woman! She never failed to make us smile, so genuine and cool. I miss her :(
I’m certain she would appreciate a visit?
@cuntking2965 Two key words - dementia and elderly. She's most likely been long since passed.
😂 I had an old fella I used help take care of as well and he was exactly like this lady! Ornery as heck and I loved him to pieces. Sure miss that old fella. ❤
'She has got an eating disHorder' ... 'Has she?' 'Of course she has - she can't fuckin stop!' LMAO
One of the best character actors ever.
💯
Catherine Tate has more talent than most comedians currently on tv.
After living with my Grandma for a couple years, this is still 100% accurate, hardly any exaggeration, I relate to everything
Especially the repetition😆
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣😮 So accurate.
Could never get tired of Catherine tates nan she just cracks me up straight to the point lmao
I wouldn't be be able to keep a straight face acting with her!
Same there must be millions and millions of outakes when they just burst out laughing!
The absolute spit of my late great grandma! The sound, the walk, the clothes and the language!! It feels like I'm watching her on my screen
Hi
One of the best BBC shows of the 2000's which unfortunately ended too soon. Can't wait for the new 'Nan' specials coming in 2016.
Allan Smith I'm not exactly sure. I just read they were two new episodes for 2016. It would be great if they were shown this Christmas.
That will make me very happy!
Steven Sheef Me too... and I just found out that they will be shown in 2015. The 27th and 30th December :D
Thanks for informing me Christopher :D I'm now a happy bunny. Granny Tate cheers me up.
yes the best show and character sooo funny She is a legend.
All Catherine Tate's characters are incredible, but Nan is the one that is a masterpiece!. CT disappears completely into the role. Utterly amazing!!
I love Nan. Lauren's a legend, too.
"Great, big walloping article" will be a staple part of my vocabulary from this day onward.
"I haven't seen no fucking Jean". 🤣🤣🤣 And the way Nan turns it around on Jamie 😂 "Now don't be saying things like that".😂😂
Her bad grammar makes it even funnier lol
She is so like my late mother-in -law! I loved her dearly and she was a force to be reckoned with, for sure!
Reminds me of my lovely Mum too xx
I'm a community carer, Catherine Tate nails it . She reminds of my Nanna Mc, she passed away 2008, miss her loads and my mum xxxx
She's a genius, how could she stop making the show... miss you Catherine!! :(
My Nana, who never said a 'bad word' her whole life, began showing signs of dementia towards the end of her days....she went total Catherine Tait on the world, and it was the cutest thing ever.

I probably shouldn't but that "Wicked slut from down the road trying to steal my husband" made me roar. 😆
My grandma would join all our names together for convenience. She remembered us but names were optional.
Wicked slut omg 😭. But I'm so sorry for ur loss ur Nana sounded lovely
this was my grans favorite and self confessed alter ego. and I was the unfortunate frustrated grandson. it is so close to the truth it makes me cry with laughter. I will miss her.
Catherine Tate is a natural in the role as Nan, she is such a talented person. I know people just like Nan and she has it spot on
This is what i aspire to be like when im that old.
Same.
Same just saying to you grand child "here he is. Come up to see me? You've come up to see me, haven't you?" I noticed things."
What a fucking liberty!
@Jordan Jones That's why Britain have a nation of rude elderly shits....they think it's cute to be like this. Try working in a pub and serving them.
Me tooooo
Catherine Tate such a good actress love her show & I wish she can return to Doctor Who that’ll be awesome ❤️
Don't know if Catherine Tate is an Eastender but she's nailed it ... not just the accent but the hilarious Sarcasm and comparisons.
She was born in Bloomsbury West London.👍
"Hup" then you know it's coming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍priceless love her cackle
I can't stop laughing at how she says eating disorder

That’s how we say it…
@@tobiex4861 2:36
Ha she cant fkin stop
Nan's just saying what all of us are thinking . This show is Hilarious 😂😂😂 I'm from Australia 🦘 I love it when the English use slang words
I love the way she acts all innocent and then as the conversation furthers she spills all and swears like crazy! My grandmothers passed when I was really little but I bet you they would have been like this..it’s sort of endearing in a way 😅
She plays this character so well.
U never get tired of watching nan Taylor and I'm so happy a movie has been made

"great big wallopin' a'tical!" I will never again in my life wheeze like this
Everyone needs a nan like this
