Catherine Tate: Laughing At The Noughties

British comedy threw many unusual shapes between 2000 and 2009. Catherine Tate's longform survey of the hits of the decade is hefty enough to stick with. A selection of great clips is punctuated by Tate interviewing - in the loosest possible sense - people like David Walliams, Rob Brydon, Noel Fielding and Alan Carr about what made their shows fly. And Tate's former Doctor Who co-star David Tennant quizzes Tate about her own comic creations.

Catherine Tate tells the story of comedy over the decade she became a household name. It's spiced up with clips and anecdote-packed interviews with the usual suspects (think David Tennant, Alan Carr...), so it might be an exercise in back-slapping. But given that this is the decade that gave us such black-comic masterpieces as The Office (2001), Nighty Night (2004), The Thick of It (2005) and Getting On (2009), maybe it should be christened the new Dark Age of comedy.
