Catherine Tate

Catherine Tate is a much-loved English comedian, actress, and writer, best known for her work on the sketch comedy series The Catherine Tate Show, which was nominated for four BAFTAs including Best Comedy Performance. The foul-mouthed grandma Joannie Taylor, played by Tate, has attained the status of national treasure for many comedy fans, leading to a spin-off series Catherine Tate's Nan. She also played Donna Noble in the 2006 Christmas special of Doctor Who, reprising the role as the Tenth Doctor's companion for the fourth series in 2008. Latterly she starred as Nellie Bertram in the US version of The Office and provided the voice of Magica de Spell in Disney's DuckTales.
