seargant sam speed goes back in time to 1951!
please rate and comment.

[@ewanoxborrow1024]

“You keep your eyes out front, and your smiles for your mother” One of her funniest sketches 😂

[@Harmonical1]

Catherine Tate is a genius and I reckon this is in fact her best sketch. My favourite line is when she says 'They usually go into show business, don't they'!

[@simonyip5978]

Catherine Tate is not just a very funny comedian but also a great actress as well. Her period accent and her facial expressions and timing are brilliant.

[@michaelkeates7838]

Remember what your grandmother used to say "slow and steady wins the race but no good'll come from a one eyed sailor"

[@richardwilliamson9763]

My favourite line

[@grainnegowen5758]

😂

[@crystalidentity]

@Sergiu Stanciu At the risk of sounding indelicate, 'one-eyed sailor' or 'one-eyed trouser snake' is a common British euphemism for a penis! 👖🐍

[@benzathine]

To late, I think I've met that one eyed sailor, *MAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHA*"

[@ffic4life]

Lucifer Morningstar, Donna Noble, and Mrs Hudson! Lmao I didn’t realize they all did something together. Hellavu crossover lmao

[@crystalidentity]

Even better - the 'Gene Genie' himself makes an appearance in Part 2! 😹 *Philip Glenister in The Catherine Tate Show* kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHSrioSaZ8t3eqc

[@tivasparis]

Not to mention Tom Ellis was actually in an episode of doctor who with Martha (sound of drums/last of the timelords)

[@kaitlyne1870]

This must be Nan when she was younger. I know that laugh!

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Maybe so.... but look what she developed into. Something not funny at all.

[@tangsanglimbu7102]

Well you're right! I never even thought of it!

[@imanacer]

That is EXACTLy what I thought, as well!

[@TheMargaretfletcher]

This was the first time I had seen Tom Ellis, and I thought at the time "oh wow,this young man going to go far ". Very glad that I was right.

[@PaulO-se6nl]

[@andydrew2003]

Don't forget Miranda!

[@audreyt7931]

Lol you should seen him now Netflix

@Mukatsuku - your Japanese name is so weird and hilarious! (What is it that makes you so 'nauseated', though?? 🤢)

[@stevezpj]

My God, Catherine is sharp, both in writing and in performance!

[@gaggymott9159]

Oooooh the GORGEOUS TOM ELLIS!!! Grrrrrrrrrr

[@wildernesstraining1957]

This is the funniest sketch ever. The end is an absolute gem. As a Londoner born in the fifties, the similarities are so true of that time!

[@limeykl]

Born in Manchester 1951…..love this sketch !

[@Harmonical1]

For this incredible sketch alone, The Catherine Tate Show should have received a BAFTA.

You keep your eyes out front and your smiles for your mother.... pmsl

goodness look at Tom Ellis here looking soooo young like he just graduated from Uni 😂, he still defies age now but hot dayum growing a beard really accentuated his good looks 😍👍👍

MY Mum is is a really good nursing home and they have singers { and other varied events} on all the time, I wait with baited breath during a sing song because any song they can fit a "have a banana" into they always do and the best part is they are so deadly serious when they do it, oh I love it so lol

[@RK-ep8qy]

Ron Wylie I'm gonna make it a mission to find a nursing home where they do this.

[@crystalidentity]

Why were they so obsessed with having a banana, though? Was it because it was an exotic imported delicacy in those days? I recall an old sketch from *_Alexei Sayle's Stuff_* where he plays a spiv trying to sell black-market bananas hidden inside his trenchcoat!

[@Kevmacc1000]

​@@Aritul Anyway, not everyone knows about *_Life On Mars_* . I just saw a reaction vid by a 20-yr-old kid who was watching the two Sam Speed sketches, and he was shocked why people were laughing when the cop gets knocked down by the speeding car, so I explained the whole thing. I was a bit shocked that he didn't even recognise the Beatles song, but I'm not gonna mock him, because not everyone has music-savvy parents or older relations who expose them to music from before they were born...
