Running between 2004 and 2007, The Catherine Tate Show was a sketch comedy where the titular comedian played a variety of different characters. One of the most popular was Joanie Taylor, a foul-mouthed Nan known for acting sweet to people’s faces before criticizing them behind their back, as experienced by her long-suffering grandson Jamie (Matthew Horne). Barring a few specials, Tate appeared to retire the character while moving onto other projects including starring roles in Doctor Who and the American version of The Office.
