"Nan" is played by a much younger woman, Catherine Tate. She plays many very different characters in her show, of both sexes, a regular chameleon.
Here is guest star Peter Kay, also aged beyond recognition. (He's from around here by the way.)
I don't know, maybe it's an acquired taste, especially since it sort of builds on earlier sketches with the same characters.
Hi Eo - see if you can get a copy of 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' starring Alec Guinness - he plays eight characters of different ages and both genders. It is very funny, (well, I found it funny), B/W, made in 1950!
ReplyDeleteThanks, will check it out.
ReplyDeleteHe made a couple of films like that, didn't he? I've seen at least one.
