Catherine Tate is not just a very funny comedian but also a great actress as well. Her period accent and her facial expressions and timing are brilliant.
Catherine Tate is a genius and I reckon this is in fact her best sketch. My favourite line is when she says 'They usually go into show business, don't they'!
Even better - the 'Gene Genie' himself makes an appearance in Part 2! 😹 *Philip Glenister in The Catherine Tate Show* ua-cam.com/video/zCHYQd2fDDE/v-deo.html

goodness look at Tom Ellis here looking soooo young like he just graduated from Uni 😂, he still defies age now but hot dayum growing a beard really accentuated his good looks 😍👍👍
Looks like I'm not the only one looking for my anything Tom Ellis fix until "Lucifer" Season 4! What a powerful actor, and genuinely kind and funny man!
I love how Tom's been tweeting anti-Trump messages, and he and his bride kindly asked fans who wanted to send gifts or donations, to send money to Planned Parenthood! What a leftist darling!
MY Mum is is a really good nursing home and they have singers { and other varied events} on all the time, I wait with baited breath during a sing song because any song they can fit a "have a banana" into they always do and the best part is they are so deadly serious when they do it, oh I love it so lol
Why were they so obsessed with having a banana, though? Was it because it was an exotic imported delicacy in those days? I recall an old sketch from *_Alexei Sayle's Stuff_* where he plays a spiv trying to sell black-market bananas hidden inside his trenchcoat!
@@Aritul Anyway, not everyone knows about *_Life On Mars_* . I just saw a reaction vid by a 20-yr-old kid who was watching the two Sam Speed sketches, and he was shocked why people were laughing when the cop gets knocked down by the speeding car, so I explained the whole thing. I was a bit shocked that he didn't even recognise the Beatles song, but I'm not gonna mock him, because not everyone has music-savvy parents or older relations who expose them to music from before they were born... "Let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born... Though she was born a long, long time ago, your mother should know... Your mother should know." ~ The Beatles
She's immensely successful with her own tv show, sell out tours and great dvd sales. What part of that makes you think she's underrated? Just copying others' inane comments?
Yes, Tom Ellis! If you are in the U.S. go to Hulu dot com and watch Miranda, starring Miranda Hart from Call the Midwife. He has a major role on that and I fell madly in love with him watching it! It's very funny.
I was about to say all they need is Gene Hunt to appear, but then in the next skecht when here on the beach he appears. This couldn't be more perfect Catherine Tate and Life on Mars
A very racist, narrow-minded Mrs. Hudson, sadly! The _real_ Mrs. Hudson has all sorts 'round her. Mrs. Turner next door's even got married ones...! 👨❤️👨
I believe he's playing it for real. Tom Ellis says 'Let It Be' is the only song he knows how to play on the piano! I saw a candid video clip of him playing it, with Lauren German next to him.

Remember what your grandmother used to say "slow and steady wins the race but no good'll come from a one eyed sailor"
My favourite line
😂
@Sergiu Stanciu At the risk of sounding indelicate, 'one-eyed sailor' or 'one-eyed trouser snake' is a common British euphemism for a penis! 👖🐍
To late, I think I've met that one eyed sailor, *MAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHA*"
Lucifer Morningstar, Donna Noble, and Mrs Hudson! Lmao I didn’t realize they all did something together. Hellavu crossover lmao
Even better - the 'Gene Genie' himself makes an appearance in Part 2! 😹

Not to mention Tom Ellis was actually in an episode of doctor who with Martha (sound of drums/last of the timelords)
Catherine does a perfect job here. Promised to the farmers son : we need the onions!
This was the first time I had seen Tom Ellis, and I thought at the time "oh wow,this young man going to go far ". Very glad that I was right.
TheMargaretfletcher yes...Lucifer lol
Don't forget Miranda!
Lol you should seen him now Netflix
Yeah, I don't watch a lot of T.V and so I had no idea who he was, but I'm in love tonight, anyway 💕.
So the police is Lucifer!???
when the land lady started speaking I checked my playback speed if I forgot to set it back to normal.

This must be Nan when she was younger. I know that laugh!
Maybe so.... but look what she developed into.
Something not funny at all.
Well you're right! I never even thought of it!
That is EXACTLy what I thought, as well!
Nah, it can't be because nan in the 50s had long hair and got married to Jake, who wasn't a bald fat man.
"They usually go into show-business don't they?" LOL.
@Michael G How Very Dare you!
For this incredible sketch alone, The Catherine Tate Show should have received a BAFTA.
My God, Catherine is sharp, both in writing and in performance!
I love how the cop whispers at the end please help me
Oooooh the GORGEOUS TOM ELLIS!!! Grrrrrrrrrr
This is the funniest sketch ever. The end is an absolute gem.
As a Londoner born in the fifties, the similarities are so true of that time!
Born in Manchester 1951…..love this sketch !
You keep your eyes out front and your smiles for your mother.... pmsl
"bones through their noses" killed me hahahahahahahahahahaha
"Slow and steady wins the race but no good'll come from a one-eyed sailor." 🤣
Tom Ellis in a police uniform!! Why haven’t I discovered this sooner 😍😍😍
"Well don't stand there on the doorstep galling like a dullard, people will think I'm a scarlet woman so they will. *_MAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHA_*"
Thanks for that. I couldn't understand her.
Thanks as well. I’ve got Alzheimer’s.
@@hilarybarker1386 yes, but a little less nasal! Janice was more like Fran Drescher in The Nanny.
Tom Ellis doing a good Miranda 'talking to the camera' at the end!
He should've mimed the desperate wave and drowning in the water!
@@dollcefina haha yes!!
she really is a good comedy writer
This guy can actually sing
Of course he can, he's Welsh.
He sings all the time in *_Lucifer_* - have you not seen it yet? 🎤😈🎶
He's got such a lovely singing voice - never knew
First time I’ve seen this. I’d have happily watched a full series based in this.
It's a parody of an actual show, Life on Mars.
i can't believe i only recognize tom ellis from his singing voice.... he looks like a young darren criss back then
"A good Suffolk sausage every second Sunday."

Nan in the 50s!
correct! Same hair, same laugh!
@@TheWizardOfTheFens Love CT...But that Nan character does nothing for me. Sorry.
I want to laugh at comedy...
not regret what we have become as a society.
Back to the year I was born...
Catherine Tate , just brilliant
I would watch this as a time travel show.
goodness look at Tom Ellis here looking soooo young like he just graduated from Uni 😂, he still defies age now but hot dayum growing a beard really accentuated his good looks 😍👍👍
I keep coming back to this gem. Catherine Tate is the goddess of comedy so she is maaaahaaahaaa!
love the put the pipe down moment, when the old man hears the intro to 'let it be'
I swear to god Una Stubbs's face on the 2nd "have a banana" is comedy gold! I piss myself laughing everytime
I was absolutely poorless when she interrupted him playing let it be
This really reminds me of the proper Ealing comedies from the 50's
She absolutely nails it every time. A classic. As good as the two Ronnie dare I say.
This show has two of my faves Catherine Tate and Tom Ellis
I'd almost forgot watching Lifr on Mars a few years ago. Glad I did see that!
I saw it , too-and this reminds me that I want to watch it again.
We neeed the onions 😃😃😂😂😆
I am a massive fan of english language and this accent is soooo well done ...
Seb maybe because she's English... It's also very overdone
That’s because they are English...
London accent of a certain era exaggerated for comedy.
So gorgeous! And still is.
Its Gary from Miranda series!!! :D :D :D
Donna Noble, Mrs Hudson and Lucifer in one room. Lucifer doesn't stand a chance.
Looks like I'm not the only one looking for my anything Tom Ellis fix until "Lucifer" Season 4! What a powerful actor, and genuinely kind and funny man!
I've been watching alot of Tom Ellis since discovering Lucifer
I love how Tom's been tweeting anti-Trump messages, and he and his bride kindly asked fans who wanted to send gifts or donations, to send money to Planned Parenthood! What a leftist darling!
Tom Ellis looks so young here Dashing as ever He is sooooo very good at comedy
OMG.... !!!! This is one of the best sketches she has ever done....... so funny. It's genius. :):)
I LOVE THAT I HAVE FOUND THIS VIDEO
OMG he played Let it be 😍😍😍😍😍😍
She really nails the accent you hear in old films.
I love how everyone loves Catherine Tate, not one thumbs down! America needs more like Catherine!
She's English.
"Well blow me down". Genius, after a spinach reference.
All i see is catherine tate and tom ellis in a scene together. I cant really hear anything else
And Mrs. Hudson from _BBC Sherlock_ as the racist neighbour!
best ever C. Tate piece.

Is this Gary in Miranda?
I think we can all safely say that Catherine Tate is a comedic genius.
So Funny...Brilliant! Thanks for uploading.
This is gold!! 🎉🎉🎉
Genius and incredibly funny!!!.... Nothing more to say ...😆
i love Tom Ellis.
luv this, brill
Tom Ellis, look up 'Gary and Miranda'... you won't regret it... also he was in Doctor Who, Merlin and many other things...
Which Doctor Who season???

Yes my lad!
I like Tate's stuff well enough, although it's not exactly my favorite. But this right here is up there with the best sketches ever made!
I really want more of this. Like a series
Have you seen part 2 of Sam Speed, featuring the Gene Genie from _Life On Mars_ ?

Tom Ellis sings that song to me whenever he's in United States, Arizona. Ever since I called him detective sergeant Sam Speed and no one knew why
Why does he visit Arizona? That seems a bit out of the way...
@@crystalidentity Arizona is popular vacation spot for those living in Los Angeles, where he probably filmed Lucifer.
TOM ELLIS!!!
5:22 Beautiful piano arrangement of a song I don't even care for...
I believe he's playing it for real. Tom Ellis says 'Let It Be' is the only song he knows how to play on the piano! I saw a candid video clip of him playing it, with Lauren German next to him.
