"Nan" is the person who says all the things many of us are thinking BUT don't have the nerve to express. I'm old now and Nan is my role model ! 😁 p.s My Grandma was Betty Taylor, had some great lines, some one once asked her "Who are you looking at ? " She responded with "I don't know, the fucking label has fallen off ! " 🤣
My wife's aunt was exactly like this character. Obnoxious and funny as hell. When she went into a nursing home I used to drive over and pick her up for family gatherings, and then take her back at the end of the night. One time we stuck a load of temporary tattoos on her arms to prank the other residents. She's loved, much missed, and never forgotten.
There's a woman like this I met in the doctors office I randomly sat next to her, I can't tell u how amazing it was listening to her not talking to anyone just narrating the room, was so funny
The actor calling out Keith Merryweather is Derren Litten, who is the main writter of the tv show 'Benidorm', which King Boomer will react to at a later date.
@@bobbierocksbuster5584 it’s difficult to gauge sarcasm with text on a screen as there is no tone or emphasis. I think you need to practice being more open minded especially at your mature age, one would think you should know better. Also half the English public not hearing of DT is just a wild guess based on no evidence or support for such a bet. Stands to reason that you assume and guess way too much. Chill out, that’s my advice.
@@Shane-Flanagan Yep sheer brilliance.I think King B does take note of these comments, so he may get round to reacting to Derek in the near future & the 16min 36sec full version & not just one of the single short sketches.All the best.
YES YES YES, I'm always suggesting Catherine Tate's Derek to people who watch her clips and so few reactors have seen it! Nan's still her best character but Derek is just a smidge behind, and arguably has a longer-lasting mark on British culture through the phrase "How very dare you".
@@slashdisco Yes,I agree, the more comments King B sees may make him get curious on this amazing makeup & characterisation.I think he does take notes but doesn't always act on them straight away.
Finally plucked up the courage to show my doc my swollen testicles, she was shocked, which is always worrying. In a wal-mart aisle though, hence the life ban!
You should watch Nan Taylor( Catherine tate) at home on Christmas Day,it's so funny especially with Kathy Birke( a great comedian )playing her daughter.
I know how her grandson feels. This is exactly what it used to be like taking my mother in law out. I lived on my nerves in public and loved her to bits.
@@kernow9324 More likely Nan isn't really listening/don't really care and everything can be remedied by a mint/a subtle way for Nan to tell the woman that her migraine is nothing but a simple headache.
@@peterkotara Glad to hear you are now a fan! Never fails to make me laugh on a bad day. Met him as Lily once, absolutely lovely person, very kind, salt of the earth.
English people have so much suppressed anger. You don't notice because they are so polite, but inside they are seething! It is a great subject for comedy. This was really funny!
For American viewers, the sub-script to this is the frustration that many genuinely sick people have when they cannot get a timely GP appointment here in the UK. The upside of our system is that medical attention is free "at the point of access" (having been pre-paid through our taxes). The downside - and one the "Nan" character exposes - is that it is open to abuse by those who want time off on full pay.
Many people are under the misapprehension that the NHS is free - it is NOT. We pay for the services in our taxes. However, having said that, we have many foreigners that come here and get FREE treatment and it infuriates us Brits as they don’t contribute anything and put a strain on the service which in turn prevents people in the U.K. who pay their taxes from getting the treatment they deserve.
Love the one wen her grandson comes to hospital to see her n bring his girlfriend to meet the girl got a big nose it's classic laugh all the way,or the Irish nurse at th hospital had me crying,😂😂😂
Please find the Graham Norton Show interview of Catherine Tate on where the Nan character came from! Tom Cruise was there and found it hilarious. Lol. :-)
Well, this is what my wife is developing into........ it all started when we found out we were having twins, and she hasn't let up with her cursing and swearing since............. our girls are 17 now.........
Damaged my lower spine in teenage years all because I didn't do a warm up, the effects of that on me physically and mentally and the effects on my marriage, work, a very heavy toll, so WARM UP don't jump in 😎, watch granny Tait & you'll always win
Catherine Tate, keeps impersonating my nan, always has to point out the obvious, like the elephant in the room no one mentions except for my nan. No self editing in my nan 😅 I love her regardless 😊
