    Either my eyesight is fading, I'm drinking more heavily than I realise, or she's becoming more and more attractive as she gets older. I think 'Big School' is pretty good, largely thanks to her and the occasional appearance by Frances de la Tour.

    Well to be fair it was a British remake of Everybody Loves Raymond.

    Wasn't broadcast - just written about. There's even an IMDb page for it - "The Smiths" (2013)

    Yes, what's happened about Nan? The one off was far better than I was expecting and far better than most sketches turned into full shows. But most of all I'd love to see CT back in Doctor Who, the companions since her have been woeful in comparison.

    Aye. IIRC she does a fair bit of Theatre work, sure she did a couple of Shakespeare's with Tennant.

    Happened across Big School tonight, might catch it again, see if it/characters grow on me.

    She was my favourite ever Doctor Who companion - who'd have thought it?

    I know! There was so much negative reaction when she joined Dr Who and she proved them all wrong. She was amazing as Donna and her final scenes were very moving. Much missed.

    I'd love to see a series of Nan.

    She didn't prove them wrong for me. Hated her in Dr Who. I'd even take boring Martha over Donna.

    Saying that, I do quite like her in the US version of The Office.

    She's obviously no longer the comedienne-du-jour... Miranda Hart's got that one sewn up at the moment.

    Tate's show was OK but I still remain convinced there's better work in her.

    I wonder why it didn't happen? She was in the pilot for Not Going Out wasn't she?!

    I remember thinking exactly the same thing during the first series of Big School. She really does look lovely, doesn't she? She has such a nice figure, too!
