Catherine Tate's award-winning sketch show is due to leave BBC iPlayer very soon.
Running for three seasons between 2004 and 2007, The Catherine Tate Show starred the actor as various characters – including foul-mouthed Joannie 'Nan' Taylor and argumentative teen Lauren Cooper, known for her infamous catchphrase "Am I bovvered?" – alongside a recurring cast featuring Gavin & Stacey's Mathew Horne and Niky Wardley, to name but a few.
The show spawned multiple specials and spin-offs, and won an impressive seven BAFTAs during its run on the BBC.
However, fans will have have to act quickly if they want to watch it on iPlayer, as it's been confirmed that all 21 episodes of the show are being removed from the platform on 9 June.
After The Catherine Tate Show came to an end in 2007, Tate secured the role of Donna Noble on Doctor Who.

The former companion travelled with David Tennant's Tenth Doctor during the fourth season of the hit sci-fi show.
The pair returned for Doctor Who's 60th-anniversary specials in 2023, before Tennant regenerated into Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor.
It was a rather short run for Gatwa, however, with Saturday's season 15 finale closing the chapter on his tenure as the Doctor.

Fans were left shocked as he regenerated into Billie Piper, who famously played companion Rose Tyler.
"You know when you get cast, at some point you are going to have to hand back that sonic screwdriver and it is all going to come to an end, but nothing quite prepares you for it," said Gatwa following his exit.
"This journey has been one that I will never forget, and a role that will be part of me forever."
