In which we get wary of the talent
As for Doctor Who: as you’ve probably heard, catchphrase-based comedian Catherine Tate is going to be back in the show for a whole series. It’s been in all the papers, after all, and lots and lots of people, who shudder in terror at the mere mention of the name Bonnie Langford, think it will all go horribly wrong. It might be interesting to see if Tate can act, rather than just mug through with a comic voice and lots of makeup until she gets to the catchphrase.
Russell T Davies has been widely quoted, in connection with this story, as saying:
We are delighted that one of Britain’s greatest talents has agreed to join us.
Strangely, though, his thoughts on Catherine Tate herself have not been mentioned.
