The Catherine Tate Show special Nan's Christmas Carol is available to stream for free on BBC iPlayer.
Originally shown on BBC One on Christmas Day 2009, the show focused on just one of Catherine's comic creations, foul mouthed pensioner Joannie Taylor, aka Nan.
The comic retelling of the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol saw Joan casting her northern relatives out on the street on Christmas Eve after which she is visited by four ghosts overnight: her dead husband Jake (Dominic Coleman), the Ghost of Christmas Past (Ben Miller), the Ghost of Christmas Present (David Tennant) and the Ghost of Christmas Future (Roger Lloyd-Pack). David Tennant's Ghost is a flamboyant, metrosexual blend of Russell Brand and Serge from Kasabian, wearing Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith, he's "...up to the minute, constantly changing, ever evolving yet always on trend." Needless to say, Nan is far from impressed.
