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 :(
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
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 😅
@@jordanjones7172 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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
