Review: Catherine Tate's Nan, BBC One
Nan is a brilliantly observed character, a game old bird who comes out with an occasional cracker.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 28th December 2015Nan offends everyone - and viewers want another series
It's been a while since we have seen the outrageous pensioner that is Catherine Tate's Nan - but she hasn't lost any of her edge as we discovered when she reprised the role for a couple of episodes. But she has gone down so well with viewers that there could well be a new series on the cards.
Duncan Lindsay, Metro, 27th December 2015Radio Times review
Ironically, the season of goodwill might be the only time of year you can get away with comedy as rude and crude as this. There's a panto atmosphere as Tate's misanthropic pensioner returns, in front of a live studio audience, for two new rampages.
Having beaten up a blind veteran in the street, Nan must complete an anger management class or go to prison. This doesn't stop her needling her therapist (Warwick Davis) and bullying the other members of the group. When Tate is on form she can wring a guilty laugh out of anyone; when she isn't and the script falls back on Nan just being nasty, it's the opposite of joyful.
Jack Seale, Radio Times, 23rd December 2015Catherine Tate's Nan preview
It's hard to believe that it's been almost 10 years since Joannie Taylor better known as Nan, first burst onto our screens in The Catherine Tate Show.
