Looking for a specific scene

Hello,

I don't know if anyone can help me. I am looking for a specific scene that I wanted to use for a presentation but I can't recall the name of the sitcom or actress. The scene is in an office, a guy that has several foreigners inside the room and he is in the corridor complaining he doesn't have a translater. This actress turns to him and she says she will do the translation. When she gets inside the room she doesn't know how to speak and starts mumbling using the type of expressions typical of those languages.

This show was pretty much a one women show, she participated in all schetches (I think the name was really "The First Name Last name of actress Show", and this scene of the very helpful lady that didn't know how to do anything I think was recorrent). I thought the actress was Sally Phillips but I was trying to look for it and couldn't find anything. Does anyone has any idea of what I am talking about or am I just getting crazy and mixing everything up?

Thanks,
João

Sounds like a scene from The IT Crowd. But I'm being told that this is also very much like a sketch from The Catherine Tate Show.

I was thinking IT Crowd too.

It's definitely Catherine Tate.

Would it be inappropriate to state that I don't enjoy the comedy or personality of Catherine Tate?

No.

I quite like her though, and her sketch show.
Although some of the sketches were really annoying (the nurse one for example).

It's a particularly hideous sketch from The Catherine Tate Show.

It was Catherine Tate - here's the sketch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtWJOyaAg9E

But there was a similar storyline in The IT Crowd.

Whilst not liking Catherine Tate's show much, I do quite like that sketch. :$
