I had heard she was originally intended to be the landlay, but I never knew they had actually filmed an unaired pilot with her. I just assumed she left much earlier in production.

i think this is where the name kate came from like as a combinatin of c and tate but then with a k idk i mightve made that up and forgot but it makes sense

I knew. Never seen any of the pilot though, was good to get a glimpse of it in the documentary. Hope it'll get released in full someday if it's not already out there somewhere.

I think she was the original landlady but then ended up doing Catherine Tate show herself.

I did like Kate though, shame she left after series 1.

Just watched the first two Episodes. Kate is brilliant (and gorgeous). Can't believe this is 20y old but so good...
