Another interesting guest coming up on Tony Martin’s chat series is one UK comedian, Ms. Catherine Tate.
She talks about her early stand-up days, her sketch series and Doctor Who.
In A Quiet Word With Catherine Tate, comedian Tony Martin leads the British comic actress on a merry dance through her award winning career, from her early work on The Bill accurately recreated here to her massively successful three seasons of The Catherine Tate Show and popular tenure as the Doctor’s assistant on Doctor Who.
Tate reveals what it’s like to shoot a comedy scene with the Prime Minister, what it’s like to hurl abuse at the Queen on national television, and what it’s like to break the record for most uses of the F word in a single sketch. Martin excavates the origins of her most famous characters, finds out how Tate got a new word into the Oxford dictionary, and baffles her with a reference to a TV show she can’t recall making, in this loose and entertaining Quiet Word.
It airs 9:30pm Saturday 14 May on ABC1.

Quiet Word leaves Denton’s ‘make ’em cry’ approach for dead. Genuine conversations rather than the sensationalist approach. More please.
I’m a big fan of Catherine Tate. Thanks for the heads up.
LIking Catherine Tate doesn’t mean the show is good…it lacks something & fails to engage the viewers.
So-so about the program – I wish it was better.
Time slot is the old Parky slot; athough I don’t like it up against RocKwiz. Still, that’s why they have iView.
I love Catherine Tate.
Count me as another who has been quietly enjoying these. I’m not really a fan of Tate’s character-based humour but she makes a good interview guest, going by two appearances on Norton.
I know many didn’t like Catherine on Doctor Who at first but she proved herself.
Gotta watch this one.
I really like this show. Scratching beneath the surface of what makes the featured comedian tick. Good stuff!
It’s working for me too. ABC isn’t driven by ratings. Catherine Tate is a comic genius. It was just confirmed for me that she was in The Bill, I thought it was someone who looked a lot like her.
Great show and I haven’t missed an episode yet. Such a relaxed format and Tony Martin is genuinely interested in what they have to say.
It’s working for me. I really enjoy it.
Nothing like Denton and nor is it trying to be.
This show is So not working! Bad timeslot too…better off on a weeknight if you want ratings? Tryhard Denton.
