Here’s everything we know about The Nan Movie…

Who is Nan?
Nan earned a cult following after appearing in The Catherine Tate Show, which was on our screens from 2004 to 2007, and the funny character has gathered passionate fans ever since. The character has since starred in a number of BBC spin-off sketches, including Nan’s Christmas Carol and a sketch for Comic Relief last year, alongside James Bond.
Joannie, who is always referred to as “Nan,” is a belligerent old, cockney woman who constantly uses vulgar language and insults others. In an interview, Catherine revealed the inspiration behind the character of Nan, saying she based her off a nursing home resident that she performed to while at drama school, who was irritated by her blocking the TV during her performances.

'The Nan Movie' plot
The synopsis of the film goes: “Catherine Tate’s iconic character Nan hits the big screen as she goes on a wild road trip from London to Ireland with her grandson Jamie (Mathew Horne) to make amends with her estranged sister Nell (Katherine Parkinson). Militant vegan arsonists, raucous rugby teams, all night raves and crazed cops on motorbikes all make for a proper day out.”
