Heads Up: Tennant & Co ....

Does anyone know if Hamlet will be aired on BBC America? What about Catherine Tate's new Christmas special?
Apparently it's airing on PBS during Great Performances (?).
Ditto.
I think when Tennant looks back on his career, his brief hosting stint on Buzzcocks will prove to be more a defining moment than any other...(That's a very rude emoticon. I feel I should remove it, but it is actually kind of cute.)
I haven't really watched Buzzcocks since Mark left and I didn't know Bill Bailey had left aswell, but my god, Tennant, Tate, Cribbons and to a lesser extent that Radio One DJ (can't remember her name) and Jupitus were rather funny.
Anyway, why do you think that emotion is rude?
Oh I don't know, he is pushing 40 so there is more of a reason than some of the non entities who have biographies and autobiographies out.

Because its pulling tongues. I think that's rude!
"Barrowman!!!

Finally watched it last night, thought it was quite funny, especially for the above repeated joke.
Thought Tennant made for a very relaxed and amiable host, really it was Cribbins' night though, what a comedy God, and I loved Noel Fielding'a reaction to him.
Bernard Cribbins, proving old people can be cool, and funny!
I can't believe Catherine Tate can be anywhere near as dense as she pretends to be...

Me either. She's a good actress and a keen observer of human life. I'm pretty sure that you can't be too dense and pull that off. It makes a very amusing act, though. Particularly when Tennant was so indulgent of her.
ok having now seen Nans Christmas Carol, what a fu*king liberty, it was awful, the first half was just painful, the second only raised by a good preformance by Tennant of a character I didnt care for, and the actually good ghost of christmas future. Having semi redeemed itself in the last half the last 5 minutes goes & blows it with Madness showing up again, what a f*cking liberty.
I would write a letter to the BBC complaining about the waste of licence fee payers money, if the whole thing didnt look so cheap.

whilst generally true, this is not the case for Catherine Tate, plenty of her sketch show has been funny, that said it was a mixed bag, and some were just annonying
So, did anyone here watch 'Hamlet'?
Agreed. I don't really care for her overused catchphrase characters like Lauren Cooper, Nan Taylor, & Derek Faye. (And WTF is up with that couple that laughs at everything? I've watched several of those sketches and I still don't understand any of them.) My favorites tend to be some of the more dry, less used characters like the Enigmatic Detective, Elaine Figgis, the Not-Drunk-Enough Woman, and the New Mother. The Stupid Waitress is also pretty funny, mostly because Catherine Tate plays her with such infectious enthusiasm. The How Much/How Many sketches are also really funny, but probably less due to Tate and more due to her long-suffering co-worker. Her increased sense of dread every time Tate goes on another one of her "How much/How many" tirades is so priceless.
Although, there have also been a bunch of other funny women over the years. Lucille Ball is probably the 3rd most gifted physical comedian of all-time (just barely falling shy of silent masters Charlie Chaplin & Buster Keaton). Kristen Wiig is the most talented castmember on SNL right now. Felicia Day has replaced Joss Whedon as the master of modern geek humor. Not to mention Carol Burnett, Andrea Martin, & Catherine O'Hara.
her I get, I assume its some sort of parady of women who are a bit like that, is there really a man like that? I just dont get his interest in his wifes crazy.
I can understand faking laughing, but he actually seems to enjoy it.
I am not going to say that men dont care what kind of a day there wives had, but come on woman get to the point, I would be standing there moving my finger in a circular direction, to get her to move on a bit.
All I can reply to this obvious case of sexism is this
no more, no less, although I'll through another one in for good measure
