Catherine Tate's notorious Nan character is back and starring in her own movie.
A new trailer for The Nan Movie shows Tate's troublesome grandmother, whose actual name is Joannie Taylor, causing plenty of stress for her long-suffering grandson, Jamie (Mathew Horne). It also reveals that the movie's plot will follow Nan and Jamie on a road trip that takes them from London to Liverpool, and then over the Irish Sea to Dublin.
The aim, at least for Jamie, is to reunite Nan with her estranged sister Nell, who is played in a flashback sequence by The IT Crowd's Katherine Parkinson. In this flashback, we also see what Nan looked like as a young woman, namely, very much like Catherine Tate!

Tate first played Nan on her BBC sketch show, The Catherine Tate Show, which originally ran from 2004-2007, then brought her back for a series of self-contained specials between 2009 and 2015. David Tennant and George Michael are among the special guests who have borne the brunt of Nan's famously sharp tongue.
Tate co-wrote The Nan Movie with Brett Goldstein, the actor-writer who plays Roy Kent in Ted Lasso. Josie Rourke, who previously made Mary Queen of Scots with Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan, directs the movie. It's set to open in U.K. theaters on March 18, but there's no word yet on a U.S. release, so watch this space.
