Talk:Catherine Tate

message: A short description of the sketches (Characters) on the catherine tate show would be handy.
if anyone knows enough about The Catherine Tate show please would they help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Badgercurry (talk • contribs) 21:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would know enough about The Catherine Tate Show, but it's been agreed that this page is about Catherine Tate and not her show. We have some information about the show, which should be sufficient, otherwise the reader can click on the link to the show, to find out a range of information. If your still not satisfied, discuss further. Eagle Owl 16:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lock this article? 

message: "Doctor Who viewers added, "We are NOT delighted that Catherine Tate is returning to Doctor Who, she'll be even worse than Bonnie Langford!" "
There's no source and I just wondered where this came from? I thought it would have been broadcast quickly since bad news travels fast.
Please reply on my talk page since I can never remember the talk pages I type on. Thanks St91 20:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Where did you get this quote? 

message: The article describe Tate as "Catherine Tate (née Ford..."; "née" is used to indicate a maiden name - has Catherine Tate married someone called Ford? If not, then should it not be Catherine Tate (born Catherine Ford)? Apepper 08:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Née is often used to indicate a maiden name, but the word is simply French for "born".  It indicates somebody's birth name. --Jenny 13:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change; Ford to Tate? 

message: I don't think the claim that Tate will be the second companion to be older then the doctor is true.  She would technically be the first, as John Barrowman is also older then the Tennant, but that was after Tate's appearance in Runaway Bride. Actually Flood was much older then Davison when he played the doctor, so I don't know where this came from. TheBigBlueBox 05:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Has it been confirmed that Tate is not returning next season? Type 40 (talk) 16:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Next season is in 2010.  To my knowledge, only pennant is confirmed for the 2009 specials. --Jenny 13:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  By the way I assume you were referring to Doctor Who and have added the name of that programme to the section heading. --Jenny 13:26, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the article it says Tate would like to have returned for a second series, but there's no reference. Is this true? If so, it should have a reference.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.95.73 (talk) 14:39, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Leaving Doctor Who?

message: I've removed an extended reference to Donna Noble.  We have an article for that character.  Catherine Tate's performance in the series has been impressive, so I'd be surprised if that's the last we've seen of Donna, but don't tell anybody I said that. --Jenny 20:47, 6 July 2008 (ETC)
I've restored this:
: At the end of the run in which she played a starring role, her character, Donna Noble, was written out of the series.
CKatz removed it saying "this is sci-fi".  So it is.  Writing out of a character isn't always permanent even in soap operas (Bobby Ewing in Dallas, Dirty Den in east enders) but when a character leaves a series in a fairly conclusive manner we refer to this as "written out".  At this stage, Donna is about as conclusively written out as was Rose at the end of Season Two of Doctor Who.  She may be back. --Jenny 22:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Donna Noble

message: Under the Blue Sky seems to have ended its run (the theatre's website doesn't mention it), so what's she doing currently? Incidentally I came across a couple of reviews of the play while searching - she was either one of the best things in it or the worst, depending on who you read. Reviews, eh?

thread_title:  Will she be seen again? 

message: Hi there
Earlier today I wrote about Catherine appearing in the unaired pilot episode of Not Going Out. Someone added a citation needed sign. I don't actually know how to cite information, but all the information about that can be found here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/andrew_collins/blog_20051006.shtml
If someone could cite that for me, it would be a great help. Thank you. George.millman (talk) 22:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose Andrew Collins is a reliable source as anyone, although we do tend to shy away from blogs as sources, and I will add that. However, I see someone else has added who eventually played the role, which is irrelevant to Catherine Tate, so I've deleted it. This:  is actually a much clearer source, so I'll go with that.

message: In the Bio Box, she has a "Partner" listed. What the heck does that mean? Is that a term trying to be equated with Spouse? Or is it, more appropriately, her business partner? 66.9.167.110 (talk) 25 January 2011  —Preceding undated comment added 20:05, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it means partner as in "significant other whom she lives with but to whom she is not married", as descibed in the body of the article. – ukexpat (talk) 22:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it means cohabitee. Jim Michael (talk) 21:29, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

text: Yeah, there's a word for this.  Boyfriend.  This isn't elementary school; no one needs to be embarassed.  --74.72.155.252 (talk) 20:48, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If they really are engaged to be married the "proper" term would be fiancé? Note the infobox can't use the term "boyfriend" (or fiancé) which in any case implies they may not be co-habiting (and we don't now for sure either way). But the source for the engagement claim is NZ Herald which cites the good old Daily Mail. So it can't be used here. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:23, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Partner? 

message: Tate's latest project Hard Cell, has no article and the first episode has been released tonight, 12 April. Writing for The Guardian, Rachel Aroesti says: "Tate might be a veteran character comedian but Hard Cell is her first attempt at a sitcom – and thanks to a lacklustre narrative and an abundance of one-dimensional characters, it really shows." Why is it in the lead section? Martinevans123 (talk) 22:02, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Can anyone suggest why it belongs in the lead section? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
