What We Think

The Catherine Tate Show is about as non-woke as you’ll find in the 2000s: character-driven, irreverent, and content to poke fun at everyone. Today, some of its sketches would likely ruffle feathers among the perpetually offended crowd, but that's exactly what makes it entertaining.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Catherine Tate Show centers on humor derived from distinctive characters and observational comedy. Its sketches rarely feel forced by modern ideological checklists and instead focus on character work and relatable, albeit exaggerated, social situations. Representation is organic to the story, and identity politics don't drive the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While some sketches poke fun at traditional British life, gender roles, and family, the satire generally comes from a place of affection or playful exaggeration rather than an effort to undermine cultural values. Masculinity, femininity, religion, and family are often portrayed with a nod and a wink, not outright scorn.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show offers a range of perspectives, often lampooning multiple sides of an issue. Rather than forcing a particular viewpoint, it revels in mockery of various archetypes, including both progressives and traditionalists, old and young, men and women. Serious ideological messaging is almost entirely absent.
